Hey Vince
You do just what the doctor tells you and heal up real well. Don't rush it and we'll keep ya in our prayers. Good friends are hard to find

I think a while back you made a comment on how the CC Quite Line tractor looked like a giant catfish from the front. So I was thinking, that picture of you in the sleeping bag :shock: reminds me of a mermaid...you see where I'm going with this :?: How about I restore a wide frame Quite Line into a w...

If it is an older IH built Cub Cadet I'm all for it. They and we are all part of one big family. I wouldn't think of turning against my 3 brothers or 2 sister because one is fat, one is ugly, one is rich, one is poor, and one is dumb (yes I left myself out of that list). We are blood and that overlo...

I really like it. I think my favorite is the "Wanted" poster picture in the classified section

Earth to ReicheP...I repeat...earth to ReicheP! What planet are you on ? I know all that white stuff that's hitting us right now has spread your way, we just love to share our snow with all our PA friends Enjoy and stay safe.

Just put the finishing touches on the Leopard this weekend. Took some time but looks okay.

Glad you said you got it thru a friend and not from a friend. Can't imagine a friendship lasting long once the PO realized he/she gave it away ;) Seriously, that's a nice "shaker". Those 1650's really get up and go :o :o . And that 16hp is in high demand around my area. Nice way to get over the wint...

Your cubcadetman site is a keeper. I just bookmarked it. Thanks for some interesting info and great pictures.

I'd get the gasket kit with crank oil seals while your at it. Easy to replace if your doing the governor and well worth it.

Never had that happen.... But I do have one that mows my yard all summer long, without pay and he even buys the gas :shock: . This allows me more time to work on my vast collection of CC's and attend a few shows during the summers. As much as I like running my snow thrower, I'd love to see the green...

Vince Sounds like your learning a lot from working on this project :geek: . I like the way that loader looks on the Cub. I find it good to walk away from a project for short periods of time (a day or so)to keep the fun in it. I gotta ask you, how did you get that guy from American Chopper (Vinnie) t...

You said you replaced it before. Are you talking about the same tractor? And if so how long ago was it?

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Plus maybe pull an engine out occasionally or what ever the moment calls for I like that setup. Now I know I gotta get me a loader

WOW!!! :shock: That's some nice work. The last car I restored was a 64 GTO with factory Hurst shifter and traction bars. All numbers matched. It was an aqua green or blue. I had 3 or 4 people per week stop by offering to buy it, even when it was in primer. I have some photos somewhere. I did it for ...

Hey Vince :?: Is this your first loader? Looks like that beast will come in handy for a lot of stuff. I've been thinking about one myself. I like the fact that they can be used for a bunch of work around the house but I was really interested in the lifting of Cub's. Yours looks like a real nice setu...

Vince
Don't forget to post pictures of you sled riding with your cub cadet hat on also Bet you can really show those kids how to pickup some speed downhill (Ya, I know the hat thing was a cheap shot at keeping this Cub Cadet)

Not a bad find. How do you attach it to the wheels for weight? I would think you would need two, one for each side :D I once picked up an "Original" that was under a collapsed shed, tires rotted completely off the rims but with a shot of starter fluid and a hot wire jump she started right up. Ended ...

Haybail I think there are a few guys with reproduction shift handles and I believe that the breather vent is the same as the other (later) creeper units. I had a guy make me three of the step gears (the gears that the shifter moves) since most UD-6's I've seen have had the teeth on the small gear sh...

He may be wrong but I bet he's happy

Not sure what shows yet. It did take some time but I was working on three other Cub also. I like to work on them when I can and take a break when I feel like it. That way it's more like a hobby and not a job. At the time I was working on this one I was finishing up a Simplicity Landlord and a 4 digi...

My 123 is almost done. Got the idea from the "Cub Cadet Circus" they used to promote the "New" hydro transmission on them. I've seen the "Tiger" version and decided to do the "Leopard". All I have to do is add the front face where the grill screen is, a tail, fresh wheels w/hub caps all around and a...

That is one nice tractor. I'll have to check with my local undertaker to see what he's got Never know where you'll find a CC.
Have fun with it.

Check with some of the JD owners. They seem to "wine" a lot about their "cheesy" green tractors...Sorry I couldn't help myself.
On a serious note, Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Vince That could happen to any of us. I try to take my wife with me when the weather is bad, always can use someone to stand at the top of the hill to warn traffic. Glad no one was hurt. I myself would like to see better pictures of the car...with the brake lights on it looks like they are about to ...

For that kinda starting $$$ I would have thought the white over spray on the tires (from the restoration ) would have been cleaned off. Check out the photos. I can see why only one picture. I think they added an extra 0 by mistake and didn't spell check

I have an old Cub Cadet can. I might think about selling it. It's only been kicked by the wife 2 or 3 times (a week). No advertising on it but I'd ship it free for the right price :lol

Cory Keep up what your doing. More and more people will be interested in "quality" restorations and there are not enough younger people getting into the hobby to meet the future need. The real satisfaction for me is knowing another quality tractor has been given a new life, to be around for many mor...

Scott Nice batch of goodies. I can see me waking early on Christmas morning and there in my stocking is that taillight :P Just in case that doesn't happen...enjoy your fresh find. Personally I don't believe that all those parts are for an "O" ( :ugeek: bottom picture). Glad to here they are keeping ...

With the engine out and no fuel around close, I have used my torpedo heater for a quick thaw (can be done inside or out). I don't get so close as to peel paint but close enough to warm her up (kinda like a wife after her man just came home with another Cub :o ). The 126 model is what started me on m...

Honing or boring? So that is the :?: I know it's not always possible ($$$) to have machine work done...but I have always found it cheaper in the long run to bore. To me it's like putting a new heart in my Cub. Since I only work on single cylinder Kohlers I always price a complete gasket kit, piston ...
