Changing oil on my CC102 a nuisance. To do it some on this forum will have you remove the deck....not necessary. I used an EZ oil drain valve (EZ-110) and EZ oil elbow (L-001) NPT 3/8-18, and added a short hose. See my sale ad on Craigslist North Jersey, search Cub Cadet and look for...

Who have you guys used to move a tractor? It will go from the north east Jersey border 340 miles to Brunswick Maine. Open or closed truck or trailer, no matter. To be clear I want to hire a mover. Cheers, Jack

Craigslist North Jersey (search Cub Cadet) has a long spiel on my restoration, too long for here. I chose a few closeups. Thanks for looking, Jack, (I'm John on Craigs). Price is $2000, it needs nothing.

We are gettin' older and stuff has to go. Cub ( circa 1967 ) is fully restored and needs nothing. There is a lot of my labor in this tractor and hate to part with it. I've seen sales on this site and think I know about restrictions. If you take issue with this post please take it down, I...

In the original post I mentioned the high quality of Irongard and said "I'm not crazy about majic but it is a perfect match for the yellow on my CC102." I acknowledged that there are better paints. Looked at a lotta color samples and knowingly passed on higher quality to get the best match but...

Once again, it was about the color match. If it looks fine after three years then it's fine. You come across as a paint expert and, if so, please enlighten the community with your expertise. You have great technical knowledge of our Cubs but I've noted over the years that you can be sometimes...

HK, please keep up, it's about the match. Paint is paint; is it mediocre if after three years it's still glossy. Jack

I'm not crazy about the majic but it is a perfect match for my yellow on a CC102, circa 1967. Goes on in a fine spray, easy to control, levels out well. At my HD, Rustoleum is in spray-adjustable rattle cans (3 spray levels). Cheers, Jack

My CC102 has a 42" mower. Thought a tensioner was a good idea, with shipping it was $68.00 from Digger. He must believe in them or wouldn't sell AND any belt will stretch given time. Cheers, Jack

Make it 'International Harvester color codes - white paint cross-reference' and 'yellow paint cross-reference.'

I count three yellows that IH used back in the day. I got a quart of Irongard MS 10 federal yellow from Digger (the most popular yellow?) but it was a tad light - local guy darkened it, perfect. Irongard is really good and I used the best brush - it levels beautifully. For the hood it was...

Google 'cub cadet blue ribbon service manual GSS 1369 pdf.' It be free. See page 3-2, in the back and see instructions for how I installed a tensioner. Simple. Cheers, Jack

I agree. I bought a quart from one of the sponsors (maybe the most popular yellow) and it did not match - too light. Remember I said Cub used different yellows. My local paint shop made it perfectly match the color in my Majic rattle can.
