Hey Matt, whats wrong with my HOT city?

The truck has changed a little bit in the last year!

Hey Geezer;
I've got a lift rod that measures 28" center to center. What does yours measure?
I bought this to use on a BB-36 that was missing a lot of pieces, and this one seemed too short!

Together for the first time in 49 years. resized_IMG_0403.JPG Its amazing that they are both in similar shape (except for the hood) and neither one ran when they came home. About 15 minutes of work and they both ran. They were purchased at 2 auctions about a year apart, and both were equiped the sam...

Vince,
If you wanted to do it old school, you would use one of these!

I went to an auction just last saturday and they sold a 1450, deck, tiller, and a front blade for $1500. I told the guy next to me I need to have an auction if they are bringing that price, he just kinda looked at me. It seems that any auction I go to in the city you cant touch them for a reasonable...

Thanks Paul, and your answer was not any more smart a-- than my question.

Ok, so I am getting ready to wire the beast. Where did they put the ground wire on these? (I know one end on the battery )

I got the hood painted the other day (but not without incident) and the decals on today. Now all I have left is to wire it, put the hood on, add fluids, and enjoy.

Well first there was there was 21 days, then there was 20, then 19, pretty soon there will be 18 and before you know its plow day.

Great find!!!!
Want to trade? I would even throw in some moonshine (if they legalize it in my state)

Or as I heard it one time, "IH built a lot of good trucks, too bad no 2 were alike". Thanks again Paul, and hopefully i can educate people in the future as well as you do.

Thanks to all that replied on the color question, espceially Paul for the detailed answer. With that in mind seeing as this is a 4 digit, I will paint it white even though I dont know at this time what implement I will put on it. I did do some more painting today. I think I got all the yellow painte...

I've got more yellow & white to spray and I am wondering what color the front pulley shield should be? I have seen both yellow and white so I dont know what one is correct.

Vince, if you print this thread then the SUPER "O" will be famous and I will almost be a celebrity.

I dont know who built the super gear drive but I know who has the SUPER "O"! resized_MG_0301.JPG 31X15.50X15 Dick Cepeck Giant Pullers Price of tires - ? Price of the 18" wide wheels - ?

I just looked at the serial number chart and it was built in May. Maybe I can have it assembled by May and throw an open house to celebrate its 50th anniversary :beer: Geezer; I dont think it made its way from North Dakota, but the way these have traveled who knows. I need to get a picture for you. ...

I wonder if they have a tailgate for my dumptruck?

More pictures!

In celebration of Cub Cadets 50th Anniversary I decided to paint my 4 digit Original. Here is a picture of it when I got it. resized_0158.jpg Here are some pictures with the correct color of paint on it.

Looks a little blue eyed to me. One blue this way and one blue the other!

Or from this: Actually I cant show you what it looks like now, cause the primer is the wrong color!

I had one follow me home last friday. PO said it didnt run, but after I moved the kill lever a little it fired right up! Now I just need to find someone to run it! And as I am posting this I missed the ice cream truck.

Here are a few pictures. I dont know if you can use them or not. This one is of my '37. IMG_0300.JPG This one I got to run at a pull this summer. 004_1.jpg I dont have any pictures that are any good of my 1000 that I turned into a puller but here is one. resized_IMG_0298.JPG How about this one for t...

Excellent Job, now its too bad your going to work it! I hope my "O" turns out that good. What brand of paint and paint numbers did you use?

It looks to me like they cut off the slots and drilled the holes. Got to love PO mods! In the following picture I have a 42" blade on the left and a 54" blade on the right. I have had the 42" blade on a 1650. The 54" blade I dont think I have ever had mounted on anything. I think the 54" blade came ...

Here is my latest look at what followed me home. I picked this up Saturday. Originally started out with just getting the 125 and mower deck. Then the owner asked me if i was interrested in the snow thrower for it. Before I could leave he gave me the owners manual! She is a runner, but she is quite a...
