So, since BB mentioned it the other day, might as well start a 3240 thread! Here's my good cub day.... The 3240 and her new to her power angle plow and other toys.... 3240 and toys.jpg Here's the rear weight bracket for the 3240....now just need to find some weights!!! rear weight bracket.jpg This i...

Todd, no picture of a 1000, but congrats on your milestone post! Like you, I haven't been on here as much recently, but I'm trying to make a concentrated effort to do so. The fb groups get very annoying to me. Along with the "spread" frame and 3 pt issues which I wholeheartedly agree with, don't for...

That sounds great Dave! I would love to have the vent holes in the panels but I don't want to risk screwing them up! Lol. The biggest thing I need to tsckle right now is the differential....need to get it fixed or replaced before it gets any worse.

Joe, how could younpossibly not have any pics???? That's just wrong! Lol. Dave, not everything turns to gold, but I have been lucky enough to come across a few good deals now and then. This latest 1772 was definitely one of them! Thanks Lew! I most likely will be getting rid of a few more. The 2 Sup...

Hmmmm.....look what else showed up....1772 #2! Overall in very good condition, everything works as it should, except the front mounting tabs are broken on the differential. Also looks like the top bolt holes going into the differential housing have also had some work done on them. All in all, got on...

Just wanted to take a few minutes to thank our Northeastern guys for some great hospitality this weekend! Realizing I still had a couple of days of vacation left before I go back to work tomorrow, I realized the Colchester, CT show was this weekend. After some conversations with Joe M. and Engine Mi...

A tractor show ALWAYS out ranks laundry!!! He should show up!

Just thought for anyone in the central MD and southeastern PA area that might be interested, the Citizens Vol. Fire Co. will be holding their Olde Tyme Days from Friday, July 10th through Sunday, July 12th. There will be lots of antique farm tractors, garden tractors, hit and miss engines, tractor p...

Jess awesome job! I have been wanting to put hydraulics in a 582 forever, but don't have the know how or tools to do a set up like that. Probably the nicest 582 set up I've seen. Since you used a 782 pump and rockshaft, I'm guessing you could use a cat 0 hitch on it too, couldn't you?

Mark, where did you find the decal for the front bumper? I've been looking and couldn't find any of the 40th anniversary decals so far.

So today wound up being pressure washing day for the 3240's. The 54" deck desperately needed a good cleaning, as did the underside of 3240-1. After getting everything cleaned up, greased and lubed, just waiting on a new set of PTO belts to put #1 back together. #2 got cleaned up just so it wouldn't ...

Well finally got to mow with 3240 #2 yesterday, and definitely do like the 48" deck better. It may take a few minutes longer, but the deck is more manageable for my property. Fortunately, this 48 also has the rollers like my 54 does, so it still gives that striped look. All in all I'm very happy wit...

Thanks guys! I've actually been using it to mow the last couple of weeks while I've been working on some odds and ends on 3240 #1. Now that I have 3240 #2, it'll be used for other chores around the house and for riding around at shows and tractor pulls. This too, of course, needs a few things done a...

Absolutely!!! I've even got a hill in front of the house we can jump it on there for ya!!! lol

Thanks for the link BB. They are actually not far from me at all. So in doing research, I've found out a few different things. MTD must have some quality control issues! :D Here is what I have found: 1. 3240's are supposed to have the 22 hp Command in them, I have seen them for sale with not only th...

I'll have to check into that. What did you do about the Anniversary decal on the back?

Just so everyone knows, while I have picked up a couple of newer CC's, I also picked up this very nice 71 to go with my son's 123. Have a few odds and ends to do to it, but overall a very nice little tractor. I still like the IH Cubs too!

Of course I am!!! So since BB called me out already, here is 3240 #2! Found this on about an hour away. Overall in better shape than 3240 #1, also has the 48 inch deck which I was really looking for. Fenders are a little banged up, but otherwise sheet metal is in really good shape. Only 570 hours on...

I have to agree with the post limit prior to placing ads. Hopefully this would encourage new members to get actively involved in our site. It's been great seeing so many posts recently as people are getting on here more. I try to get on and post when I can, but sometimes just don't always get the ch...

Ha BB, you shoulda known it was getting blamed on you! :D Hopefully this weekend I will be pulling the fender pan and taking care of all of the bolts In the differential, giving it a good cleaning and making sure everything is good to go. Been working on it a little at a time and getting a few thing...

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day and thank all of our veterans for their service to our country! Always remember those who gave their lives for us to enjoy the freedoms that we do!

As some of you who have been around awhile know, while my interest in Cub Cadets is still there, I also like playing with the big boys too. I've had a Farmall C and H as well as this M. I've gotten into pulling quite a bit with the M and having a blast with it. The C and H have left, but the M has b...

Brought home another Cub today, a very nice little 71. Has headlights/tail light and fenders will be put on soon. Will probably add a 3 pt to it as will, and maybe even a creeper just so it's fully optioned out! The only thing it really needs is a solid seat, the one on it is pretty will shot. Thank...

So over the weekend I decided to drop the mower deck and get it lubed up and sharpen the blades or switch them out with the new set that came with the tractor. I knew they definitely needed to be sharpened....but what I found was much worse than I expected!!! 3240 blades 1.jpg 3240 blades 2.jpg Sooo...

So I finally got some time to clean up and get to know my 3240 better. All in all, cleaned up very well. Motor appears to be well taken care of and certainly this isn't the first time it's been cleaned up! Had to change the battery cable ends from automotive type back to l and g type, not a big deal...

Had a great time catching up with everyone at plow day! Hope everyone had as much fun as Cory and I did!

Just out of curiosity, who will be going to plow day this weekend? Myself and Cory will be there sometime Friday afternoon and all day Saturday! Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Joe, I'll keep my eyes out for ya!!! Tom, it is a 54" deck. Definitely looking forward to cutting with it, I love the fact that it's a shaft driven deck. Transfers all of the power to the deck , nothing lost in between and no belts to break! Looking forward to checking it out more when I get a chanc...

3240.jpg After seeing BB fall in love with the 3000 series tractors, I started keeping my eyes open in case I came across one, you know, just because! Well, I found one!! Came across this 2001 CC 3240 40th Ann. Edition. Has a few odds and ends that need attention, as they always do, but runs great....

You may be able to take your seat to an upholstery shop and have the blue trim died to the correct color. I will try to find some pics of the seat on my old 124. I had the seat completely redone at a vinyl shop. In order to get the vinyl to lay flat, I think he actually used an adhesive or tape betw...
