Re: Original front tires need help

I have used the tire paint from Miller Tire, on the original GoodYear tires, if that is what you are asking about. It will not fill or cover up cracks unless they are very small, but it does give the tire a "new" look. It is a concentrate that you mix with water and brush on. It is not shiney like p...

Re: It followed me home and it's Ray's fault...

Jess,
I figured out pretty quick you were not selling one of them, when I was talking to you :lol: This is the one from Middletown, OH. From all indications, the other one was missing some of the 800 only parts, and after talking to the guy, more than once, I didn't want it.

Those white thingy's on the wheels are "anchors" to stop it 'cause the brakes don't work very good either.........What you expect, it's a QL.

Re: Belt pulley

Todd, It's going to be slow because of the Cub Cadet's 7 to 1 gear reduction before the transmission. The PTO on a CC turns 514.28 RPM at 3600 RPM engine speed, where as the Cub PTO turns at engine speed.

It is the only QL worth having, and there were only 2345 of them built (lowest production of any of the IH built Cub Cadets). I have had either 3 or 4 of them and all of them came from KY. One of them ended up in the collection of this short, round man in PA....

I would rather have more room between them because ...

I have an O with the PTO on it, but it is in the right front corner of the shed and I can't get to it to measure it. I will be getting a couple of Cub Cadets out to get ready for Cub-Arama in the next 3 or 4 days and will try to get the measurements for you then, if you can wait that long.

Re: Farmall M

Keep in mind that the 6 volt systems have to have a larger battery cable (2 gage wire) than what is used on 12 v systems, so if the cables have been changed over the years they may have been replaced with the smaller 12V cables, and it will make it crank slower. And just like the Cub Cadets, rust an...
