I got a Haban sickle bar at PA Plowday from Engine Mike and finally tried it out today, other than a few adjustments to the tractor and mower it works great

Vince, the more you do wih it the more you will try, I make tiller pins from round stock all the time and can make them custom lengths by application instead of running to the local ACE and paying their prices. A lathe can be a very good piece of shop equipment with many uses. Nice find!

Yesterday was my last day and the fun of moving 24 years of stuff starts,and moving my box was actually the easiest part with the help of a friend and this great trailer that drops to the ground.

Well after 24 years at the Dodge dealer I am moving on to bigger and better....on the 23 I start my new job as truck mechanic for Baltimore County MD highways shop. I am looking forward to new challenges, slower pace(than 27 years of flat rate) and GREAT BENEFITS! and of course more available time o...

I have them on my 147 and I love them, and with 10.50s on the rear it looks low and tough. I have had them for a couple years using them for plow days and snow removal and they work great

I've used JB on carb parts that stay in gas with no problem and on oil pans with no issues, it just has to fully cure before exposing it to the oil or fuel.

Congratulations Joe!

7 1/4, 8 1/4, and 9 1/4 chrysler axles are all rear load with c clip axles. The 8 3/4 is a front load but wouldn'thave any fomoco stampings. I also think the 8 3/4 chrysler is not as long in he pinion area. just my $.02

Along with playin around with my cubs my main hobby is Hit-n-miss engines over the years I have collected about 15-16 engines from various manufacturers. I also enjoy my old IH tracors too I have a 1936 WK40 McCormick and Ariels 1941 BN

I like it, what a brute! Kurt you do very nice work

Vince just think what really good bodyshop painters do before their best paint jobs...couple beers before to relax them and the paint flows better...it should work the same for welding something like this, shouldn't it

Congratulations Scott!! I definitely see a future cubber here, and I am sure you wouldn't have it any other way

Steve Mopar switched to electronic ignition in 1972 so all he will need to carry is an extra ballast resistor(the biggest problem with mopar ignition)

Just don't let Vince near it he might want to use his porta-band! Nice find on a clean looking 1650

Jeff I had a 72 Dodge/Coachmen 21 ft. like that with a 360 cid engine and a 3 spd trans. It would only run about 65 but it towed the wifes Intrepid on a dolly without any problems. I had an od trans under my bench to rebuild for it but we upgraded to a bigger coach before i got to it. We haven't had...

Thats a couple of great finds

Randy that looks like a previous owner modification just by the different coloring around the neck where it it attatched to the tank. The old cap probablt was worm or gasketless and kept falling off so what looks like the lid and neck from a safety can is soldered on. And welcome to the forum there ...

I had a Kubota G5200 for 20 years and always used 15w40 with no problems except hard starts during the winter. Just my 2 cents

Nice find the 147 is a tough cub, I love mine, load those rear tire with washer fluid or anti-freeze and you will have great traction and the power to put it to the test. The 147 is a real work horse.

Vince I had one of those ballburners and plowed my garden with it for several years before I had a Cub set up to do it and it worked very good. The only weight I had on mine was 1 gallon of antifreeze in each front tire. I was always amazed how well it did for 4 horsepower.

Yesterday was a big day around my house, Ariel got her drivers license!! Now I might get a little more free time to spend on my cubs and hit-n-miss engines, but the gray hairs are going to show up faster for awhile. CONGRATS ARIEL!!!

I can picture that completly in my mind, too funny

Todd Ariel just got a new Dell and my wife got an HP last year and both have Windows 7 loaded and it is much easier than vista. It seams they took what was good from vista and blended it with XP and didn't do a bad job.

you need that cool puller that Joe Motuzick and Dave Chester had at last years plow days, it works slick and doesn't damage the wheel. I got one and used it on an Original at Steve T's that was very rusted, just tightened it up and smacked it with a hammer and it was off in under 5 minutes.

THATS ONE HOT TRACTOR YOU GOT THERE!!

This is a great thread...ok here goes... I spent my high scholl years working on farms in the area then to bagging groceries in my senoir year in high school through 2 years of community college where I studied auto technology. After that I worked in a small independent auto repair shop for 2 1/2 ye...

Kurt what a great talent those little tractors are neat, I have liked every one that I've seen so far

Cool find

Geezer I think from what I have read here you would be missed if you weren't around. At all the plow days I've been to your spot is the congegating area and you are like the cub ambassador to all new comers and put them in the right direction. Just saying that you mean alot to the Cub community and ...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
