Re: IH Registry Days and Members
Maybe Jim Chabot(sp?) is the up north guy? Jim Chabot, that is the Jim I was thinking of. Paul Bell, I cannot forget Geezer, The Tool Man, never did know his real name and there are others who escape my memory who were the "movers and shakers" of the IH Registry. Tom Scott? I have a lot of photos f...

IH Registry Days and Members
Anyone know how many of the old IH Registry people are still around collecting or playing with their Cubs? What about The Mayor, Scott C, Jim from up North (Cannot recall his last name)? Is our hobby dying a slow death? Did not see anything on here about PA Plow Day this year. Seems since George Ran...

Re: Valspar paint for CC
In my area Valspar paint is hard to find in enamel rattle cans. I found Valspar paint on the website I list below and they send it to some local hardware stores for you to pickup.

Re: Valspar paint for CC
TSC has stopped selling the valspar paints that was As of 2015 +-. As for the quality I’m very happy with the results, about 3 coats for the yellow. I e been using the rustolum antique white and I’m happy with it as well. Only complaint with valspar is the tips clog if you only use a half a can. Ne...

Re: Cub Cadet Snow Blowers
I have had good success with a QA42 on my Cub 147. I also have a Cub 70/100 with a 42" blade. The blade works well up to a 10" snow. I usually do not mount the blower until I hear the weather guessers call for over 10". I have used it in some wet snows. Got to keep the blower full of snow to get it ...

Re: Out with the old in with the new
Are you sure that blob is not lint? Unless you have a filter on your gas can, how can you know? I had similar debris on the pickup screen of a B&S engine on a lawn Mower and I just figured it was lint.

My son has a 1650 which I overhauled for him more than 5 years ago. It dose not vibrate like people say most of them do. It runs smoother than my 147. It has been a good tractor for him. Adapted a potato ***** from my Rototiller and that has worked great digging his potatoes. Sure beats digging them...

Re: Mowing Decks
This is what someone did for a 48" deck. I have a 48" deck where those brackets you speak of were installed. The discharge side did not have a hole low enough so I added a piece with two more holes. The Photos are from a Cub site from 2002.

Re: Carburetor repair
Charlie, my personal conclusion was there was not adequate surrounding material to support a full length bushing hence I went with an oversize shaft instead. But my being cautious about it does not mean that it can't be done and I was not about to bother with the added expense when a new shaft coul...

Carburetor repair
Has anyone installed a full length throttle shaft bushing in the #30 carburetor. I have two that I installed the repair bushing and now they are worn sloppy again. I got maybe 10 years use. Has anyone had the throttle shaft bore oversized and installed a full length bushing?

Re: Who's ready for Winter?
Well Charlie....looks like middle of the week noreaster #4 might drop some snow. Right you were. We got around 11" of wet stuff. The snow wanted to push ahead of the auger, then went through all at once. Found out the rpm was down on the 147 and the belt was not tight enough. After those adjustment...

Re: Who's ready for Winter?
I am hoping for one good snow to test my QA42 thrower since I changed the auger speed. Instead of going the speed up sheave route I increased the sprocket size on the driver sprocket for the auger. That the auger is the only thing turning faster than before. Probably not the speed increase that the ...

Re: Electric motor lift
Hard to tell from the photo but it looks like your lift does not have the slip clutch and the result is the stripped gear. Not too bright of IH to use this lift unit without the clutch. I am speaking from experience as I stripped the one on my when I first purchased the 147. Learned of the slip clut...

Awaiting snow.
Replaced hydro gasket, repaired hydro slot, updated front coupler to Quiet Line style, increased drive sprocket by 1 tooth to speed up the auger a little.

Well the 147 is finally back together. I had that pin brazed to the linkage. I did the famous trunion repair, hydro gasket, and drive shaft mod. Unfortunately I did not take a photo of the repair job on the trunion, but it turned out well.

No, not the same but most likely just as good or better. Millings are what you get when those huge grinders remove asphalt from a road to be resurfaced. There is just enough tar left that once rolled the summer heat takes over and pretty much makes a hard durable surface but not quite as good as a g...

Re: Hydro linkage
Right, easy to replace parts need to be the expendable ones. Just imagine Cub has been serving well for 47 years. I am willing to bet many of today's Cubs will never see that.
