Continuous Thread Shooting The Breeze, Just Like Old Times

[JLazar]

5th Vintage Garden Tractor Show and Swap Meet in Sugarcreek Ohio today was awesome! I had never been to an event as such. What a good time! There was a smoke'in IH Cub Cadet 123 totaly restored which was top notch quality workmanship, and I mean hands down. Now there was a few Wheelhorse that were very well done too.
I had the 71 there as well. Alot of very nice tractors I forgot to say about, for sure the Jim Dandy was smoking too. There was not as many IH Cub Cadets, maybe 30 at best. I might say there was a eazy 200 + tractors there. I'am told next year there will be a huge Cub Cadet only show in Lime Ohio, I would like to go to that one!

Where is the Registry gallery at? I had both my tractors there. All the models had their own page sorta speak. This was before the crash I guess. I thought it was neat anyhow.

i would also know if the registry site is still up and running.

Well, I dug IT out of the shed. I had to reclaim the starter off the loader.
He hasn't been run since last August but fired right off old gas and all, gotta love that.
I'm going to take IT, 782 and the loader to the National Pike show this weekend.
I need a show.....

[Scott C.]

What else would you expect at the end of a rainbow?

No tractors but a cool picture.

Well, it's time to start tucking away the wood for Winter, could not ask for a better day. This stuffs been layin around for over a year now so it's going to burn hot

Gee, I hope I don't need the tool box until I get this stuff stacked away where it belongs

Yesterday I'm walking around at the Ludlow, VT. engine show, turn to the right and there's Engine Mike So that made for a pleasant surprise- sorry bout the double take Mike, your pretty easy to spot
So I'm digging through some dealers box lot of lights and found these things, 50 cents each they were. Of course they needed a bit of cleaning up-

The Chapter 18 tent was right alongside, and the guy there asked me if I wanted to double my money

Looks like I will miss those two shows again this year. I see a lot of long time posters who haven't posted for awhile on the forum:lurk:

going to pick up a 682 on wednesday... giving 450.00 for it... not great, but fair price I think.. runs great. 48" deck. sold the 149, rather traded it for a 107 and a 2166. both sold today. gosh,, good day all around.

[vince_o]

Had the pleasure of working on this thismorning. Points and carb rebuild, runs great.

[JLazar]

Not alot going on in IH Cub Cadet land. Washed the 71 yesterday and now it dont start. So today I oiled all over with wd-40, wiped down and thought that would make it start. Nope, but it sure looks good! After hearing the battery start to wear down I hooked up the charger, and after alot of cranks the 71 popped over! Runs great! I never hold the key more than 30 seconds, and wait between starts as if I were letting glow plugs warm.

By then its time to head indoors. Want to get the 4 link tire chains on the turf 8.5's and I'll be ready for winter. Those chains are getting thin. Never had a problem getting stuck, but thinking on a new set of 2 link soon. On a note, was thinking of trading my # 1 IH tiller for a 42" IHQA snow thrower. Guess the thrower is nice, so on the 29th I'am headed out to see. My tiller is pretty nice with 2 extensions. Had been trying to research any possiable what to look for's about the qa throwers.

Thanks for the links to the site before the crash, though I didnot find my 71 and 72 listed. I realy liked that part of the old site,ie: serial # listings, ect. . My plan for the thrower is to have it restored/repainted to complement my restored 72 tractor. But I have new Carlisle Tru Power AG type rear tires and dout I'll be pushing much with out a AG tirechain. Anybody know about AG Tirechains and if I need them to run a QA 42? With that I close!

Danny and I started putting the 2072 togeather. Dash tower, lift cylinder. Vince and I found the leaking gasket on the rear cover plate

[cubcadet100]

Great pics, Vince! I like the shop chair, it's pretty comfortable!

[vince_o]

Making a little more progress. Looks like my lines are too bent up to use.

[9803412]

Chumlee the 2072 is looking good. Had a fun day working on my 2182. Got to use the Haban easy deck removal tool. Makes taking the early style Haban decks off a breeze. It’s a little pricy but it works awesome. Then I pulled the rear and pump out. I thought the cork gasket was the cause of my oil leak but now it looks like the seal on the trunnion shaft is shot. So not only do I have to replace the cracked front cover but I have to disassemble the pump to replace the seal. At this point I have decided to replace every seal and be done with it. I have a couple ideas on how to beef up the mounting for the fragile aluminum rear that is prone to breaking. Have to see how that goes. Got the rear cleaned up, on the bench and ready for surgery.

[9803412]

Got the rear apart, cleaned it up somewhat. Every one of these that I have worked on has a buildup of nasty stuff from condensation in the bottom of the axle tubes so since this is my own tractor I decided to drill a couple oil return holes in the main case to allow the condensation to drain into the bottom of the trans circled in red. This should allow for better results when changing the oil, or it will blow its guts out. Hope to get the gear case re-assembled in the next day or two. Need to order seals and then I’ll open the pump. One thing that I find odd is that the pump does not have the hole in the bottom for a case drain. Have any of you guys seen one without the drain hole? The gasket and the front cover do have the hole.

For those of you that have been to my small shop in the woods, well the boys and I are making it bigger.

[vince_o]

I cant wait to get the loader done!

[cubcadet100]

Great pics, Vince! Did you see the pics of the rear blade I got?

[vince_o]

Yep, and your going to bring it down next weekend and help finish up this job, RIGHT LOL

[cubcadet100]

You got it, buddy!

[vince_o]

Made this yesterday so I can get the last 6 inches down to grade.

[9803412]

Just call the Cat dealer and get a Demo on one of these. LMAO

[cubcadet100]

Looks good, Vince!

Well it looks like that I picked a dandy time to pull the thrower off the 126, I suppose that was wishful thinking cus we got 10 more inches of that white stuff last night Good thing the 102 was eager

That's it in front of the truck but barely you can see it.

The Tulip buds are all covered, I'm wondering how their liki'n that

[Trebor]

I'm curious what is making the crawler tracks in the first pic? And, We don't understand that cotton candy rain in the peach state.
