It is not worth the time and effort to band aid-patch a mower blade. My main mower is a Simplicity Landlord. I was going thru a set of mower blades made by Simplicity every 2-3 years. I installed a set of Oregon mower blades http://www.oregonproducts.com/pro/products/oep/blades/blade. They are on th...

I wouldn't bore a 12 horse (K301) block to a 14 horse power bore. The is not enough metal cylinder area for it to last very long. You have 3 choices: find a another 14 horse power block, run a stock 12 horse power engine or build a modified/hot rod 12 horse power block. You will need a #26 carb for ...

This is the way I break in a rebuilt engine ( Cub Cadets-Kohler engine). I will vary the engine RPM for the first 25 to 30 minutes. I will leave the RPM at a the same speed for a minute. I will drain the engine oil and replace with new oil. The next 30 minutes I will drive the tractor around. The RP...

I'm still in a design phase. I started a loader build topic on 4 different sites and received some great information. Someone sent an email that had a Kwik-Way loader install instructions to mount the same loader on a Wide Frame IH Cub Cadet. After down loading the instruction I realized I had a cop...

Tom, Thanks for link to your loader pictures. I like the stands holding the loader up when not in use. I'm still in the research stage with my loader project. I want some bracing from the loader framework to the rear axle and to the center of the tractor frame. I may get carried away with the suppor...

I have a Kwik Way loader that is missing the framework between the tractor and the loader.
The loader is going on my IH Cub Cadet 149.
Can someone post some pictures of their framework and hydraulic pump mount?

Those are the best kind of days when the you can have family fun along with Cub Cadets and trucks.

I'm going to be like Big Mike and spending most of my time standing around flapping my gums.
No plowing for me this year due to surgery on my neck in July.

I hope to one day have a IH Cub Cadet with loader that has a self leveling bucket. The tractor will be a wide frame and have a hydro trans in it. I recently picked up a non running 149 which may be the one I use. Engine will be a K 301 or K 321. The forward-reverse will be a foot controlled. The pla...

Looks like a fun project.

Is that Freeman loader?

Paul

Good looking truck.
6.0 engine?

Aaron......
What's the world coming too??????

Newer Cub Cadets-Your slipping.

First the 1811....now this?
And a hydro too??????

My 70s and 100s won't like hearing this.

Welcome Jeff. I would sell the 14 hp Kohler and us the money to rebuild the K301. There is too modifying that needs done to make the K321 work in your 107. I'm not a big fan of electronic ignition on a single cylinder Kohler. You can have a good spark by using a Bosch coil, 8 mm plug wire, Auto Lite...

Jim,

I sent you a PM.

Wow Dale! That's an awesome find! Thanks for sharing here with us. The Kohler K241 from my old model 100 you rebuilt for me runs so good, and has so much power. I think a lot of fellow enthusiasts let the spread frame go to their head :shock: , because our narrow frame really do a good job! Thanks ...

It is home made.
The gent that made it passed away 2-3 years ago.
He was a craftsman.

I found this at a garage sale: Blade on one of my 100s Blade has some end caps I used it a little in my drive way. Looks to be a fun tool to use.

Neat sunset: My beagle making sure the fireplace is safe to use.

We did a little work to the driveway before the plowing . Loader action Need to find a loader.

Saint Peter watches the long road between mortal life and Heaven. In the distance a patch of orange and white appears on the horizon. As the dust settles the angels hurry to open the gates as wide as possible to let a battered U-haul van through. As the van pulls up Peter looks in the window and at...

I would have kept the 100 together and purchase it off the good friend. The memories you had together makes it special.

I wish I live closer to you.....I would have taken the whole tractor off you.

I'm not a fan of 82 series Cub Cadets......they are harder to work on.

Brad,
Sounds like you have too much point on the plow or the hitch settings need tweak. Must be a whole lot drier in the Delphos area.

Bring it to the plow day and we will have you plowing in a short time or we will hook one of my plows to your Cub Cadet.

It will be a good one if it can pass the dreaded TC test.

Great build up Jess!!!!

2 good things to do the same weekend....
The Northwest Ohio Antique Machinery show/flea market is always a great show and plowing should be a good time too.

VScott, No harm done. I've been on both sides of the fence and saw the good and bad. I have a whole new respect for anyone or group that puts on a show. It was an experience that I won't forget. The people you meet was worth it. I've been ask if I would Chair another round up and my answer was only ...

When I was working on a proposal to host the round up the national IH Collectors gave me a list of requirements to host a Red Power Round Up. One of the requirements was that all vendors must have a million dollar general liability policy. The round up chair(s) for the 2012 round up were aware of th...

VScott, The Missouri Chapter has a liability insurance policy thru the International Harvester Collectors for hosting Red Power Round Up. The part you posted from the vendor contract was not part of Ohio Chapter 6 vendor contracts when we hosted the round up in 2013. I'm not sure where it came from....

The first thing I would do (if you haven't already) is get a copy of the dot regulations. I've ask some of the same questions you have and get conflicting answers. Pennsylvania should have a 800 number that you can call that will answer all your questions. I know Ohio does. Penn dot should be able t...

I'm been looking at a Lincoln 180 dual mig welder.
Is this a good welder?
Anyone have this welder?

I'm trying to find a welder to do anything from body panels to 3/8 thick steel.

Bill,

Thanks for the information.
I'm still working on a 800 that was built in March of 1975 (serial number 545379). I have both style fuel tanks. I know which one is going on now.
