Cub Cadet Collectors dot com

Thanks everyone for the reply's I have not had one for snow removal for 14 years and we moved and now I have a paved driveway and I need one for snow removal this winter won't have time to get the 100 cub cadet ready. I was planning on fitting my gear drive 1872 cub cadet with the snow plow but jus...

I found an old jeep blade with turn cylinders. But...I'm just wondering if I should be looking for a rear blade instead. Well....I'm always looking...just nothin showing up. 00b0b_3C799lxW6Pk_1200x900.jpg I work in Sellersville and live up at the top corner of Montgomery County and could help out w...

ty K.sanders for reply. Plan on pulling rearend out to fix brakes, pretty sure it is all froze up. Right now just going to adjust clutch so I'm not over working bearings. You told me what I needed to know, 1/2" until starts to disengage. I have replacement brake parts for the 122 if needed. http://...

Nice save As an old iron nut who volunteers at Rough & Tumble in Kinzers Pa, thanks for the save.

It may only be 70 hp but how much torque?

Looking at buying an older cub, seller states it runs, but creeper is broken. Could this be as simple as a broken roll pin on the input shaft or something internal. If the spirol pin hole is all wallowed out, I can weld, turn to the correct diameter and put a new hole in it. Here's one that I fixed...

Someone smart will be right along to tell us the ratio differences.

The tiller gear box is 1.5:1 ( 20 & 30 tooth ) and the snow thrower is 2:1 ( 15 and 30 tooth )

Congrats on your own snow removal machine :beer: One suggestion to keep you nice and toasty. Wear a full face motorcycle helmet. Yes I am completely serious. I wear mine and now only does it keep the snow off your face, you stay nice and toasty since heat isn't lost thru your head. Personally I pref...

I missed this earlier. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. He was full of knowledge and from what I read and dealing with him on the forum, a great guy.

http://www.brewracingframes.com/safety-alert-brake-cleaner--phosgene-gas.html Guy used brake cleaner to clean parts before welding. The heat created phosgene gas and almost killed him. http://www.brewracingframes.com/uploads/3/0/8/1/30814233/955366.jpg?532 This was published in American Iron Magazi...

The claw thing was used to pick up ice to make it easy to carry. You would put the ice in your icebox ( before refrigerators became common )

I'll be looking for manuals for it as he had none , I also know a guy who works in a machine shop that's going to come over and give me a crash course ....LOL

As a machinist, "short course" sounds a lot better.

Jess, Look for wear on the ways ( also gouges, grind mark or other impact areas ). Make sure everything moves freely ( as in not rusted fast ). If you can power it up, listen for nearing noises and make sure the power feed works. Pictures of the lathe would help a lot. I can be more specific if I kn...

Thanks Mike. I did see your post but didn't realize it was the same "Big Mike".

I attempted to join the Hobart welding forum ( WeldTalk ) last Saturday but still haven't heard anything back from them.

Jeff

Mike, maybe you can help me out. This past Saturday I purchased a Hobart Combo AC/DC welder ( AC/DC stick, TIG and plasma cutter ) Here's the picture from the CL ad http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/JRD77VET/Triples/home%20shop/Hobart%20AC%20DC%20tig/27a5ad7a-1d72-4493-afd2-0652b5503388.jpg~orig...

This is the front blade I use on my 125. It's 10-7/8" between the ears.

I was making a few drive couplers and took a short video of a couple cuts of my 1942 Monarch CK 12 lathe. .250 removed each pass

Now offering driveshaft couplers for 5/8" driveshaft to creeper gearbox.



$25 plus shipping

I would go for the air over hydraulics. Makes life much easier. We just had an "incident" at work. "Bob" was using the press to straighten a weldment and didn't have it pressing straight down. He got "zapped" in the head and then it hit his hand. He got lucky and wasn't hurt too bad but did get stit...

Purchased a correct vintage motor for it. It runs pretty nice.

I can probably make one for you. ( I don't do splines )

Post a picture or email one to me.

A couple weeks ago I purchased an old Racine power hacksaw off Craigslist. I also located a older 1-1/2 hp Wagner motor too. I made a different plate to mount the motor and a longer jackshaft since I had to put both pulleys on one side of the shaft. Here's a slideshow of how I got it and the modific...

Transfer shaft for the QA snow throwers. $37 shipped or $32 with either ( or both ) of the 90* gear box shafts

I suggest purchasing a good used or rebuilt PTO. The center button wore so far the fingers were thinned. The PTO on your Narrow Frame 125 is the original style which uses one spring. I have two 125 myself and both have WF PTO's with double springs. They can be identified by the six round "stems" on ...

I can honestly say I've never seen anything quite like that before.

Triple drilled rear lift pin for rear lift casting. I drill these so they can be positioned with the holes vertical or horizontal. They are secured with a 3/16" cotter pin and also have a cotter pin where it goes thru the casting. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/JRD77VET/house/cub%20cadet/part...

I doubt you'd need heat for those. Pry them straight with a good size adjustable wrench, pipe wrench, small pipe to slide over it, vice grips, channel locks... any of those would probably work. All I want to add to Kevin's good suggestion is holding it in a vise or clamped to a table/workbench so y...

Welcome

Some folks think hydros are the best thing ever invented and other folks like gear drives. All depends what works best for YOU

I had a 122 and a 125 ( gear drive and hydro ) . I traded the 122 for a 125 as I prefer hydros.

Ive been getting a lot of help from a old Cat mechanic / machinest in Az. Like most folks on forums, Ill probly never meet him, but talk to him for years on end. Also Super Dave is always helping me along with a friend of his. Everyone says I needed a 4 juw chuck, so I got this off epay last week. ...
