Family alway scomes first! Best wishes with your grandson.\

I use a small magnet on the retainers (keepers in my part of the country) and a dab of grease on the inside of them.

Odd to have the valve clearance too close. Usually they loosen up from wear.

Jim, I wouldn't worry too much about the smoke, when the opposed twins sit for a while, the oil will collect in the bottom of the cylinders, and you will get a little smoke. Run some sea foam in the gas and let nature take it's course. Priming the carb is no big deal, the fuel pump can lose prime ov...

Man, go with a Command!!! Parts are way plentiful, great power, decent on fuel... there are a lot of videos on youtube on people who have done the upgrade. Just food for thought, but I think the hardest part to source would be a driveline from a Command powered Super (1884 2084 2284). They were all ...

P220g is "performer 20 hp gas" P218 g is 18 hp They are electronic ignition where the b43 and b48 are point type ignition. Big issues with them are the valve seats like to pop out of the block at 500 or so hours. They have an external coil and a crank trigger that is problematic and expensive. The i...

Nice early Sears wheel weights, too!

+1 on the Ruegg hitch. The only issue that I had with mine was that there were a few nuts and bolts reversed. He had a couple of bolts welded where the nuts would have made a cleaner finished look. Not a problem to buzz them off and re weld. I ordered mine raw metal because I wanted to paint it red ...

They are popular at my house! Nice looking machine. Wish mine was that nice.

In other words, " It didn't have fender flares, so I was like ...whatever"

And some Cub Cadets did have the Kubota engine...you might be onto something there.

Good Lord... that thing looks like a hoss!

My 1541 runs a 50" deck just fine with the factory main jet. I'm not sure that your question about the main jet being adjustable was answered. Yes it is adjustable. If you remove the air cleaner you will see a brass slotted screw with a spring under it pointing upward. This is the main jet. If you w...

You could have them measure the carb opening and see if any pod filters, like what is used on motorcycles, are available to use either temporarily or as a permanent solution. It's better than using it without one. Yup. I was going to suggest a K&N filter with the side panel off of it. Also, I wonde...

Jess, let me know if you need more.

I re read my post and the part where I was talking about the fuse holder is confusing. What I should have said is check the fuse on both test tabs to make sure there is power through the fuse. Also pull the fuse and make sure you only have power on the input side. If you have power on both with the ...

Jess, I will post a pic of mine when I get home this evening. The other guy is too busy polishing his loader and fender flares. (Jab jab poke)

Edit: might be thinking of the 2086, but that intake hose on the brochure pic doesn't seem like it faces the right way....

Don, If you have the schematic it really helps. I am not looking at one right now, but from memory, the first things that I would check are the simple ones such as the fuse on the battery tray by the solenoid, make sure that the fuse holder has power by pulling out the fues and checking each termina...

Ben,

I'm not a narrow frame guy, but I would have jumped on that deal. Nice haul!


It seems to me that the gears inside the hydraulic lift are the same as chevy 350 oil pump gears...something to check in to.

Thanks!!!

I have been putting this job off for a while, but you make it sound pretty easy. Will be looking forward to the pics.

Kurt, if you have not already put the radiator back in, please check the water pump for bad bearings and or leaks. My 2182 has a bad water pump, and I am curious as to what all has to be done to remove and reinstall the radiator. Please post some pics if you get a chance. Welcome to the forum! Vinny

Lol. Biting tongue........

And the tailgate.

This shows the brake pads that contact the tire, and the brake lever on the tongue.

Picked this up today at an estate sale, and I can honestly say that I have never seen one like this before. At first I thought that it was home made, but it is put together way too good. The tub is formed into one piece,the welds are beautiful, there is a nice rolled bead around the top. the tailgat...

Jess, you could get dual hydraulics on a 1250 1450 or 1650. As far as rarity, I have only owned one (a 1250) and only seen probably 15 others in person. I would say less than 5% had the dual hyd. option. The starters will interchange, but some k series starters had 10 teeth and some had 13 on the dr...

Actually Vince I sold all his cco's to a guy thats keeping them whole. Like Dale said I really didnt want to see them cut up, the whole tractors. Seeing that he was missing one foot and shortly before he passed he lost his other, everything had been modified, but not a hack job. One cco is crazy. I...

My condolences to the DeTurck family, and all here who knew him personally. I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but did enjoy his presence here.

I'm gonna guess my name was on a box from 2012 containing original fenders and an original 3 point. We had planned to meet in person when he was on a business trip that never happened.

Welcome, Keith. Looks like a nice repair. I am a big fan of the cyclops supers, and I would love to see yours with the loader on. Tom really thinks out his repairs and modifications, and I am always thankful for his write ups, so I think you are in good company. Now for the sarcasm.... Tom, is there...

And there isn't a part on that 1000 that can't be repaired or replaced. Very nice machine. I think you did good!

Dave,
Hold my purse while I type this.

Just to clarify, I was talking about OTHER PEOPLE'S links, not my own.

Gotta get back to my scrapbooking, and I have a souffle in the oven.

On a side note, I did try to get in touch with my feminine side once, and I got a yeast infection.
