Cub Cadet Collectors dot com

I had one in my tractor shed last summer and got him in a conibear? trap.I filled the hole in and I'll be darned if another one has opened the hole back up........he too has a surprise waiting for him
I have also gotten pretty good at catching chipmunks

Ya'll have a safe fun plow day!

Reed,as the old saying goes there a seat for every azz.....I have the seat your looking for ;) Now at 4.17 a gallon you just need to "borrow" a Brinks truck with a hitch :lol: Sometimes you just have to wonder what people are thinking. I went to an auction a few years ago to bid on a 782.While looki...

I'll stick to Rim Guard or RV antifreeze......cheaper than cast iron and non-toxic.

Thanks Jeff.
The piston measures 3.375 so it is at the small end of the tolerance....smaller than I would prefer.
I guess I was looking for validation.
Well the block will get re-bagged until I have extra funds to buy a Kohler piston

Since I found my Syncrowave 250 I think I will sell my Lincoln Square Wave 175.I bought this machine new in '04? and have used it only in my shop(no commercial use).If it had an hour meter I would guess it has less than 20 hours on it.It has an air cooled torch which was standard and also has the op...

Can someone tell me what a .010 over piston for K301 should measure?
I have a manual but I am looking for confirmation from other like minded people.

Vinnie,I believe both are 1/8 NPT

"The hoses that go to the pump?"

Yes.

Nice looking Johnson.

I would look at the loose hoses......you WILL find something to hook them on

Vince,it musta had Iron City and hard boiled eggs at the bar the other night.

Cool find Vince!
The only thing missing is the operating directions written on the hood in black magic marker

The right color?
Cubs only come in two colors yellow and white

David I can face the plates for you.
Well obviously I don't have the gray matter to figure out sending a PM so send me an e mail,

I would make the parts Paul is describing but to make a solid connection drill and tap 3 holes equally spaced around perimeter of the adjoining parts and run a set screw in and lock tight it.
I guess it would help if I post this after type it and not 18 hrs later.

Glad you found us Tom.

Dave,I think Northern Hydraulic has them.

NOW your talkin!......eatin peanut butter pancakes whilst plowing with the 1450,as close to nirvana as one can get

Todd,nice looking trailer! I have used the snot out of my 6-1/2 x 12 and everthing I have thrown at it it has hauled.I have had four Cubs,a Bridgeport and a South Bend lathe on it(not all at the same time though).The only thing that has ever caused me concern was when I loaded the mill I had to set ...

Greg,your condemning all QLs from your expirience with only one.....that's like saying all Cub guys are goofy when the only one you've met is Vince :lol: That said I would NEVER own a gear drive QL but I'll take a dual hyd smooth as silk 1450 any day! ;) In response to your comment about "another Cu...

Geez AW sorry I sold you such a money pit
I had no idea it was going to be such a mess.
I think I remember the year Eric plowed with it and don't remember it smoking.

Welcome Don.

I spent a week in Stillwater once.......I'm glad I live in Michigan

Hi to the newbees!

Todd,you are a really smart fella and pretty handy too :lol: .Why not have some pieces of sheetmetal sheared and build your own? You could even make one from a fueloil barrel or a 55 gallon drum,heck I have seen pics of them made out of OSB.The big thing is it needs ventilation.Mine has a "dust bag"...

The major change to the hoses/lines would be to put elbows out the top of the valve and shorten the lines to match. Another change would be to lengthen the boom for more reach but keeping the stanchions back were they are(to keep as much load on the rear axle as possible).The last change would be to...

Jim,there is a way to do it but it may be costly and hard to do.........don't pull the handle all the way back

I had two reasons to mount it under the hood. I wanted the ability to start and stop the pump in case it would have to set where temps got cold but the main reason is I wanted to make sure it was safe from damage. I keep saying to myself that I will build another one and when I do I will use some of...

Josh,here are some random shots I have taken at different times showing some of the ways I made my loader mine.
If there is anything specific you want to see let me know and I'll get pics.

Josh,it looks just like mine.
You should have a flat bar that runs just in front of the pedestal and ties one stanchion to the other.
I would flush everything out with kerosene or diesel fuel as I found lots of black sediment in my oil resevoir....I believe it was from the old hoses.

Al Gore can suck nitrogen oxide and CO2

It lifts it about 4".I think the cylinder has about 6" stroke.
