I know of one fellow from Kentucky who's driven farther for a good plowday and lunch....LOL
He's got a 982 , and also knows about the torque of those 20 hp Onans ....

Tim , brought this one home last night , seems to have a steering issue . Maybe the experts on this site can help me . :lol: It wasn't to bad to load as we used a two wheel lift dolly under the front axle to roll it up the loading ramps . Seems the previous owner needed the front spindles for a 125 ...

Dave , WOW . No thanks .
I own both of the real ones and I don't think I paid that much for them.....LOL

I agree with Tom on this one , maybe if there was more posting . The 3000's are nice machines and I know BB loves his collection .
A few weeks ago I thought about mentionong a section for loader cubs , because everbody likes loaders....
Or maybe a section for SGT's . Where does it end ?

Found a couple of more pictures from the Wisconsin Historical website that i've never seen before . A lot of old cub and International info and pictures on this website .

Dave , I've done a few of those covers and they go on easier if the vinyl is warm . In the summertime I usually just sit them in the sun for a while , in the winter I borrow a hair dryer ...LOL I've installed them by myself but a extra set of hands helps to get the trim tight and the vinyl wrinkle f...

David , Its actually a 782 , and gets used alot . I've used it for several gravel driveway cleanups including Ohio pd and is probably my favorite cub . I also find its handy for stirring my rather large compost pile . Sorry Dave I'm not trying to steal your thread , but your going to love that loade...

You could always add one of these to the back of that loader . Makes a great and useful counterweight ....

Dave , nice job looks great !! My first loader was mounted on a 1450 . My only concern is your choice of front tires . While the bar front tires add to the cool factor , the steering wheel is going to turn a little harder in soft dirt than it would with a wider less aggressive tread pattern , especi...

Money ?? you didn't say anything about him paying me , I got nada , zero , zilch , nil , naught , zip , goose egg , nothing .... ......you better give him a call . I still have his number if you need it .

Yes Bryan ? Me and that guy Steve finally got a day off together and he came by Sunday and picked up your 82 series front end parts . We talked for an hour or more about the cyclops to 82 series front end conversion and he liked all my other toys . This cold weather and my work sure has slowed all m...

Here ya go Steve

Tom , Nice job ! :thumbsup: I'm going to have to look at my side panels to see if they are beginning to wear . I like you side panel bracket upgrade . My box blade is almost a permant fixture on the back of my 782 loader cub . It makes a nice counterweight for the loader bucket and I use it all the ...

I'm with Dave on changing the fluid and filter first , but after doing that if conditions don't improve then I'd look at the trunion . In case changing fluids and filter don't improve the performance then I would say that you may have either a worn out trunion or maybe a broken or missing trunion sp...

Bryan , I agree that the RED ones are good ones , but why am I finding red hardware in the bucket of hardware you gave me.... :lol: As for the golf cart , I can buy batteries and a charger for around $ 500.00 , if the electric motor and relays ( solenoids ) are OK . Or I could change it over to gas ...

I made a road trip up to my buddy BB's to swap a really nice QA42A snowblower for a good running 18 hp Briggs engine that I need for one of my 582's . While I was there he also loaded a few assorted boxes of mostly 82 series parts into my truck .......Thanks Bryan :beer: It took both of us to load t...

John , I agree with Dave on about 1700 hrs. if well maintained , maybe longer . I had a 782 with a KT-17 series II ( very similar to a mag 18 ) that I sold Jim W a few years back and the previous owner did regular maintenance on it , and was still running well with over 1600 hrs. on it , it used jus...

Keith , watched a couple of the youtube video's and that's a slick setup . :thumbsup: I'd be really interested in one if I didn't have a 782 loader tractor . I'm guessing you'd need a dual hydro to operate the bucket's dump cylinder ? That looks like it would work really great on one of my dual hydr...

Also spied a few Farmalls in the weeds . A Farmall Cub , Super A , H and Super M .....What a shame to let them get in this condition .

Rick Harris and I went to a preview of a auction that they are having this Wednesday at a Simplicity dealership that went bust . He has fallen on hard times and the bank is now auctioning off his parts inventory and old parts tractors . He carried a lot of Cub and Kohler parts and we both had bought...

I must admit that is creative ...

I would have to change one thing , refine the steering a little , that looks like a finger getter .

Dave , I must admit I ended up using JB weld . I purchased some putty but I couldn't figure out a practical way to use it . I just figured with the basket bushing being considerably longer than the old one and each end riding on good non worn shaft and the key running the full length of the keyway i...

.

Guys I took a little bit of everyone's advice and think I've got this PTO basket issue all figured out . I was going to bore the bushing to take a sleeve but today I was straighten one of my shelve that had assorted pulleys and found a pulley with a 1" id bushing and the right size keyway . :beer: S...

Ken , There is some wear on the crankshaft at about the 5 oclock position if the keyways is at the 12 oclock position . I'm probably going to use a combination of you guys ideals for repairs . I'll probably use a slightly longer key to bridge the worn area and weld it to the shaft and file . I'll ge...

Dave thanks , I've tried JB on a lot of things and it does have its limits . I'll give that Quicksteel a try . I also found this new PTO basket on ebay and noticed it has two keyways , I've never seen one with two keyways . . http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cub-Cadet-PTO-Basket-Pulley-for-Kohler-engines-/28...

I'm fixing a 125 for a friend that had the front PTO bearing seize up so the mower deck couldn't be turned off . After removing the PTO and basket I found that the keyway on the crankshaft is worn badly and the PTO clutch basket isn't any better . I probably have a good used clutch basket but I'm th...

Aaron , does your dad know you stole those hinges off one of his barn doors ?
I also might know someone that has a grill for that tractor .

Paul , I've seen your trailer in use on several occasions and it is nice.....But I see three problem with buying your trailer . I'd have to get a bigger truck to haul it , I'd also be tempted to buy more stuff because it would haul more ....LOL , and lastly I don't think I'd want to haul something t...
