Welcome Denis :beer: My 122 ( 12 hp K-301 ) was smoking like mad when I got it. I honed the cylinder wall ( making a nice 45* cross hatch ) and then took it into work to measure it. ( I'm a machinist ). The bore was still within service specs so I went with a new piston, rings and connecting rod. Do...

I put solid motor mounts on the 1250 last year so it's not that the ISO mounts are failing and 'pulling' the bolts out. I hadn't thought of studding the pan and then using locking nuts. That might just work. Darn pain in the neck to do though . :evil: Since I have narrow frames, I'm going to assume...

Geezer What I do is pull the front clip off, hood and all in one shot. Then the cables and wire to the coil. Then the 4 bolts on the eng and out she comes. Going back in is a bit harder lining up the 3 pin driver. I did the same thing removing the engines in the 122 & the 125. Just "guesstimate" th...

I actually have extra .010 rings new in the box. How do you go about filing the 3-piece oil ring. I've always used this style of ring filer http://www.precisionmeasure.com/images/ringfile.jpg Nothing really fancy, just a regular abrasive cut off wheel you turn by hand. You could make one easily eno...

Looks pretty good and even better now that you have it running.

I can take care of that too when I make the extended sleeve hitch. I picked up 1" round stock today in addition to the flat bar I needed.

Dave,
When I assembled the engine stand, it was a real bugger to get the rubber grips on handle that lets you rotate the engine. That's why I put the engine onto the assembled stand.

I agree if the rotation handle is easily removable, that would be easier.

I guess I need to thank Dave :lol: Jeff, i think he wanted to thank me for uploading it to his avatar... but he failed to thank you for resizing it.! Mike, your all set... steve sized it down to 120 by 120 but still 12mb which is too large... once you get it to 120 by 120 you need to compress it do...

Well we havent touched the settings for the avatar as far as i know they have always been 120 by 120 I justed resized a different one and now that one won't load. :evil: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/JRD77VET/Triples/avatar/DCP_5800-av.jpg Just changed it to 119 wide and now it works. :roll...

240 x 71 Now it won't let me put it back up

I wish I knew what type of language you all are talking in. If I did Id have this for mine, you now cause im a smart mule!

Can you post the picture that's "too big" ? That way somebody can make it work

Jeff

Geezer, What gets me also in taxes are the people who put on 100 xmas trees and get farm assessment. They say they are (farmers)!! New Jersey is going to TRY to correct this but most of the so called FARMERS are lawyers. So good luck there. Hang in there buddy!! On the other hand, when Montgomery C...

2-1/2 hours north of me. A possibility

It grabs hold of you and just becomes one thing after another. I started with a 125 with 42" mower, Trac Vac system, QA-42 & 42" dirt/snow blade. Then you need weights for snow removal so you build a bracket. Then you need lights so you can clear snow at night. You know, a spring assist would be nic...

Nice find

The 122 is a manual 3 speed trans and I'll assume you mean hydraulic lift for the mower. Easy to work on and reliable too. I have two Cubs myself, a 125 and a 122. Both work very well.

Jeff

Glad some of y'all have used that stuff and gave a good report on it. I have been debating on whether to try it or not. The Nearest Advance Parts store has it on the shelf and I was picking up some Seafoam for another project and almost got a bottle of that last week. I think I'll go ahead and give...

Glad to hear you're on the mend now Ray. You make sure you follow the Doctor's order's too. ( I know from personal experience being a stubborn dutchman it's difficult to not help out when there is stuff to be done.)

My dog is 160 lbs and they make it to the rim

I saw your tractor on OWWM

Is the blade lift really hooked up to the PTO lever?

Dave your statement is true , I think we all have tried to plow dirt that was as hard as concrete . I personally have lift straps with holes or slots , and there easy to change at a plowday. Most times the slotted holes work fine , but there are times where added down pressure from the holed straps...

Thanks Vince Looks good! I'd use floating lift straps though...there's no need for down pressure with a properly-adjusted plow. I just use chains for plowing, and have it set up such that there is a little slack in the chains with the plow in the ground. Matt, It's easier to drill holes than slots :...

I think I have it close enough so when I show up at a plow day, they won't point and laugh :lol: I have 11-1/2" from the centerline of the pivot pin to the center of where the plow hooks up. Could someone measure theirs to see if that's correct? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/JRD77VET/house/c...
