New guy

[tbdavis123]

Morning all. Brand spankin new to this site and just thought I'd introduce myself. Just an older retired guy in Indianapolis with a handful of Cubs. Have a couple Os and most of the little round fender units. Don't have much in the way of attachments but do have a couple carts. Most recent addition was a 126 with several options, some of which I'll be using for other tractors and punting the rest. Projects I'm working on now are finishing up repairs on an O creeper and going through some NF hydro lifts with new seals, O rings, etc. Guess my favorite units would be the Os, 71 and 73. I have a 122 and 123 that snuck in the mix and really just have them for a little extra pep. Anyway, hope to chat with new folks who enjoy this old iron as much as I do. Thanks - Terry

Hi Terry and welcome to the group. Sounds like you have a great collection.

Thanks Paul. Nothing great really - just good ole diamonds in the rough. I'll post a few pics once I figure out how everything works on here. I know everyone likes pics - I do as well.

Glad to see you joined us. Lots of nice people here.

I will be gathering up the Hydraulic lift information we talked about. I just went to the Manuals section and here is a link to the Original an 70/100 installation instructions downloads.php?view=detail&df_id=267 just follow the instructions to download it.

Welcome to the site, Terry.

Thanks all for the welcomes. Spent the day yesterday pulling a few items off a parts tractor and playing around with a couple creepers. The rear end of the parts tractor was about half full of ice so had to drag it in the garage. Never did thaw enough to roll. Creeper looks ok but dry and crusty inside so soaking now. Hopefully coax it apart today. Creeper for Original giving me fits - pulled the big plugs to fetch a broken snap ring on the lower shaft (causing it to pop out of gear), seated a new plug and snap ring on the other end popped off. Reseated the bearings, put new rings on so gonna try new plugs - again! I'll try and post a pic or two but no guarantees. Thanks

Glad to have you. There are some great folks on here. Good looking family, I've seen some rear-axles that looked just like that
