    Is there a bucket attachment for the 169?

    Tony, I’ve got a 169 as well, buckets are rare and expensive. I gave up looking for an economical one. You can go the Johnny Bucket route but it’s limited in height and incorporates down force, not economical at $1,800.00. I purchased a Swisher dump bucket and will work toward installing it this...

    Prayers & Positive Thoughts, Please

    Greg, Good to hear everything went well. Will continue to keep you in my prayers. Follow the Doctors recommendation, he knows best. Rest and PT is a long road to recovery but ultimately it will pay off. Keep us posted.

    Front PTO Turnbuckle for 169

    Digger, Thanks for the lead. I ordered the part. No hardware stores local to me. I’m in a rural area of South Carolina, everything is 30 miles/minutes away. Moreover, I just had knee surgery Friday, not ambulatory as yet. NP, part is in the mail! Cheers! Al

    Front PTO Turnbuckle for 169

    Greetings Cub mates. New member looking to source parts for my 169, the aluminum front PTO actuator rod turnbuckle threads are stripped on the handle side. Previous owner drilled and pinned the threaded rod to make make it work. Looked on line but no success. I included a photo of the errant...

    Prayers & Positive Thoughts, Please

    Greg, I will include you in my evening prayers. You should pray for the surgeon first then begin a prayer for yourself as you go under anesthesia in the OR. I know it sounds out of sync but God put him/her in your path for a reason. God bless you and your family. Al

    Greetings from Gaston South Carolina.

    Harry, My pseudo recovery was more post anesthesia euphoria than anything else. Today is a bad day, lots of pain, meds help. But apparently, yellow and white fever is incurable. I’ll muster the energy to post on the main forum as you suggested. Might as well be productive. The only issue is...

    Greetings from Gaston South Carolina.

    Harry, Hydraulic lift operates well. Previous owner inserted a nail to replace missing pin that connects the handle to valve actuator rod way back in the console. It was almost impossible to get a roll pin installed. That pin has worked it’s way out twice. My fear is that I’ll have to...

    Greetings from Gaston South Carolina.

    Thanks brother. It was a gift from a Rail Road retiree. He had it since new in 1974. Used it on his Gentlemans Farm in upstate NY. It didn’t run when I got it, I had the engine rebuilt, it had a broken cam shaft, bores had good cross hatch no wear, pistons were good valve guides and seats were...

    Greetings from Gaston South Carolina.
