The old trailer sure has logged a lot of miles in the last week . Its been to northernmost edge of Ohio and to southernmost part of Kentucky . I found a second 17 ft. canoe and delivered them to a friend who was looking for two canoes in southern Ky. , and on the return trip brought these home . Thi...

Tom , That trailer has seen about 10 Ohio plowdays which is about 180 miles one way . Its had as many as 5 cubs on it and other than when my truck hitch broke has never given me any problems . It is a old RV trailer frame and axles that I converted to a 18.5 ft. car hauler and paid about $700 for . ...

I've hauled some unusual things home from plowdays , but this one takes the cake..... Thanks Aaron ..... :D Needs some work but will make a good one . Was fun hauling it 200 miles down the interstate with a 582 , 982 and tiller as company . :lol: Also found a almost new 115 volt portable spot welder...

A few pictures of the beast sitting at the end of the driveway . Aaron's going to have fun getting it in the barn....
I want to thank Tommie for taking most of these plow day pictures , as I was either busy plowing , BSing , or eating .

More ........It wouldn't be a plow day without me breaking something , check out the front tire on my 982 .....

Another fine plow day is in the book . I want to thank the Gonya family for another fine event and the food .....WOW .

I want to thank everyone for their kind words and prayers for Laura .
I was at a very low point in my life a few weeks back , but I went to AW's plow day this past weekend , and it was good to be out having a good time with great friends that I consider family . God bless you all .

I've always tried to be a private person when it comes to my personal life . But I feel the need to post that my wife of 36 years of marriage Laura passed away a couple of weeks ago after a long fight with a terminal illness . I should have posted about it earlier but my heart wasn't into it . I per...

Eric , No its not the three nuts part # 5 with the springs , its the 4 bolts behind those three nut . You have to remove 2 hex bolts part # 6 at the bottom and 2 stud bolts part # 13 at the top . The crank bolt and washer #10 and 11 also have to come off . If you take out the crank bolt and the othe...

Cool !!!!!!

Another one saved .......

I finally tore into the Briggs engine and discovered why it was locked up . I originally thought it was a rod locked up on the crank , but discovered it was a piston stuck in the bore ( frozen rings ) . I pulled the oil pan off and drove the stuck piston out with a hammer and block of wood . I then ...

Chris congratulations on finally finding a #1 cart ......I guess that means you'll stop trying to buy mine now :lol: I still haven't seen that other #1 cart out since I seen it a couple of years back , and I wish I had stopped when I first seen it . :cry: Now I'M not sure exactly which house it was ...

Dale , that looks nice .....Is that a homemade or a factory made center mount blade ??

Vince , all I can say is my area , or most of Kentucky for that matter is a target rich environment . I live literally 3 miles from an old IH cub cadet dealership . It still sells cub cadets , mostly zero turns stuff , but its still a cub dealer . The 582 I just found is from a different IH dealer a...

Vince , I'm not sure what I'm going to do right now....I have to inspect the engine in the 582 first . I've got 3 or 4 rebuildable 582 Briggs opposed twin engines sitting around , which includes a couple of ones that run but are heavy smokers needing rings ..... I've also got a good running 20 h.p. ...

I've got a problem with red 582's , I can seem to turn one down...... :lol: They have to be my favorite IH gear drive and I have a hard time passing one up when I see them for sale cheap . This would be a parts machine for most people , but I figure that since these are getting harder to find I bett...

Tim , I'm agreeing with Joe about it being a bad voltage regulator . If it tries to start while hooking up the battery and with the ignition switch disconnected , its probably got a stuck contact in the voltage regulator . I personally BTDT and seen it before myself on my 122 . The contact in the vo...

I'm not sure if all 1810's had a ported pump , but the few I've owned have had . I also have converted a 1810 into a hydrolift 1811 and its not that bad of a conversion as its mosly a bolt on and go conversion . The hardest part was taking off the manual lift handle and changing the rockshaft over t...

Stacy , My usual method involves taking a sharp awl and punching two small holes on each side of the seal . Or you can also use a small drill bit and drill the holes . . Then I take two sheet metal screws and thread them into the holes . I have two old screwdriver I use for pry bars that I put under...

Nice work Dave on all the drain culvert work .....I must be having ISP problems because it only took my computer 20 minutes to load all of these 3 to 5 Mib pictures on this page and my laptops still smoking.....

Sounds like the transmission is stuck in two gears at one time ......if you put the shifter in neutral and ease out the clutch and it moves forward , then one of the shifter forks is still in gear . The 2nd / 3rd gear fork if its puts the engine under load when the shifter is put in reverse . EDIT :...

I hesitate to ask , but is anyone going to carry on with Williams dealer decal page .
The reason I ask is that I recently received a cub with a decal and when I searched I couldn't find it on Geezers decal page .

George , IH 401388-R3 Handle Speed Control shows as NLA .
I've got a decent used one that's got good splines if your interested . I can PM you some pictures if your interested .

Pictures of the mystery SGT that they originally sent me just before it got dark (sorry for the poor pictures , but this is what they sent me ) and was told it was a 1811 ,,,,,,,That ain't no 1811 .....

Vinny , Nope not a 982 , its a repaint . Owner says there is yellow and white paint showing thru in spots that they missed painting red . I believe its a 2072 according to the serial number , but I could be wrong . Owner says it is a dual hydro with front ports , dual brakes , power steering and Cat...

Thanks , Vinny and Tim , that's what I was looking for . I didn't want to be a PITA about pictures , but the person I'm trying to help out has just bought that 2182 engine without any breather and they don't have much in the way of patients . Their other mower cub is down right now , the grass is ge...

I'm still waiting on pictures , don't make me beg .
There's a member that posts a lot , that I know owns two 2182's .....come on guys , somebody pop open there hood and send me a couple of pictures of a 2182 air cleaner assembly .

Dave I looked at parts trees diagram drawing , and written down all the part numbers also . I'd just like a couple of pictures and hopefully can find a good used or new one on ebay or CL , since most air cleaners on ebay aren't listed with a part number , and all you usually get in the description i...
