Well, I don't know that I have anything to say....other than I started with a new company the Monday after I picked up some new to me toys from Jess and have been on overlapping 14 hour shifts 7 days a week until last Friday. So right now I may have a couple nights that I can check in before collaps...

Nice. Think about it, 50 plus years, your repairs and it still works well :!: I'm pretty sure the modern ones won't ever make it that far. I love what you have done with the Cub but, if I could say, Please be careful mowing around the kids. I know I'm an old fart, and also a safety officer by day, a...

James, Welcome to the forum :!: Since the engine is out and you mentioned looking for new engine isolators you may want to do the upgrade to the engine mounting rails. "QL engine cradle upgrade" is a series of posts on this site that may prove helpful. There are some that don't fully appreciate the ...

Looking good
What type and size of ribs do you have on the front I'm guessing the rears are Tru-Powers

The scraper guy purchased all the remaining hoods, around 15 or so for something like $20 for all and turned around and sold them for $10 each to anyone wanting one. I don't know why those wanting one didn't get in on the original bid for them :?: He ended up scraping what was left. The scraper guy...

Just slap me now, I went and looked at manuals and I agree this actually created more slippage than the normal set up would have.

I have got to get my act together and get one of these to work on. That looks really nicely done and good options to boot !

Very sorry to hear this, I did not personally know Jeff, but a loss like this is always tragic. Prayers sent for the family.

One day I'm gonna have to sit on a 982 just get a feel for the difference. 1) Will you have to fabricate a new undercarriage for the 982 ? 2) On full size tractors the shorter chassis tractors with a loader make a more maneuverable unit. All around "cool factor" I'd vote for the 982, squeezing into ...

Well, it would seem there are more of these in the Eastern states. I've never seen one in person yet. I like Jess, would like one some day, but looks like they will be well beyond my budget.

Glad to have you. There are some great folks on here. Good looking family, I've seen some rear-axles that looked just like that

Prayers sent for strength, comfort and positive results for you and loved ones families.

Prayers really needed for strength for a local gals family. I'm really having a hard time even writing this...one of my former students was murdered this last week apparently on the 27th. She left to make a pizza delivery and never returned. They have a "person" in custody...the whole community is j...

Yep, my neighbors on both sides laughed when I went to KY to get my old Cub from Jess 3 winters back, but it has done more work (grass, snow and 2 plow days, even though it does smoke a little more on start up) BUT it has already outlived the box store wonders they bought over the same time at less ...

Yowzer !! That is sweet.

You have every right to be very proud. Congratulations ! Tell her we are proud of her too !

Healthy looking crew there

Nothing better than fresh turned dirt I'm hoping to make it Sat. probably just come in the car though, spring farm projects and health issues are keeping me from finishing the hyd. cylinder repairs on the 782 But hey Ft Allen is still a good time

Hey Big Jim,
Glad to see you up and about out in the Den. I'm no help on this project cause I've never done the flip, but I'm willing to pay attention while you wade through it
I know other guys have done it so don't give up, ya can teach the rest of us
Are you going this weekend?

Nice save, some useful stuff there!

I stopped in Independence yesterday, ate at the Wendy's at 17 but couldn't find your number, now I see you weren't home anyway I see however you were plenty busy.
Nice finds

Sweet
I had planned on going to watch but one of my kids had serious drain back-up problems that needed dad to bring the tools and know how. Maybe next time.
Congratulations Todd !!

That looks fantastic Hope you show us more of it when you get it home

Sweet Cubs Welcome aboard, good bunch a folks here.

Shoot I new the Bambino as the passenger right off. Even those off us that have never rooted for the Yankees, nor were alive when he played have to admit he was a legend, I myself had a photo collection of his mitt, jersey, glove, signed ball , signed bat and one of him at THE plate all tastefully p...
