    I think I figured the tweaked deck problem out on my own. I couldn't see a good way to clamp the deck shell to the top of my steel bench to keep it true while patching up the holes and dents, but I have some new 1.25" square steel floating around, and I can use it to build a true, temporary...

    Anyone ever encountered a tweaked mower deck and managed to fix it? I'm in the middle of trying to overhaul the 48" version 2 deck, and I finally figured out that the right rear corner of the deck hangs low while the left front corner hangs high. Pushing down the high corner or lifting the low...

    I don't have any really good user experience with any old Cub Cadets beyond my 147, but I will say that it does not lack for cutting power with the 48" deck. It plowed right through foot tall septic drain field grass with dull blades like it wasn't even there as soon as I brought it home. The...

    If I had some of those plaid pants, I could annoy my wife on a whole new level. The next time I am in a secondhand store, I will look for some. And to help steer things back on track, I am curious to know if anyone has noticed less hydro pump whine after a fluid change. I can see a low fluid...

    So I picked up a Danco RD1000 loader recently from a local board member, but being designed to fit a 70/100, it's far from suitable for mounting on my 147 due primarily to the foot rest mounting mounts and the bumps in the frame for the motor. I thought I could handle the frame bump outs, but...

    Powder Coating Discussion - Answers from a guy that does it for a living

    Dave: There is such a thing as high heat powder coating. The colour options are limited, but there are versions suitable for applications that see between 600 and 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. You might also be interested in ceramic coatings, which are good for even higher temperature thresholds.

    Dennis: $100 does buy a lot of air hose, but he with the most tools wins, right? Or is that the most Cub Cadets?

    This is dangerously close to being off topic, but it's in direct response to the posts about the Preval sprayer that is directly related to an on topic tractor, so here goes. What is this? Three degrees of separation? How many are we allowed? Heh. Anyway... I don't know if I would want to...

    Thought I would try to tune the 48" deck today while it was off. There's always a surprise when you look at a new-to-you piece of older equipment up close for the first time, eh? There is more welding needed here than I had previously thought, but that's not the part that concerns me. I found...

    Folks, I think I'm out to buy my first tiller, and after all of the searching and reading I've done, I'm still not certain that I am educated enough to be doing this solo. Anyway, here's the skinny: I own a 147, and I may have a line on one or more 1A tillers, all of which include extensions and...

    Gerry: I still don't know what to say, but I do share/annoy my wife with many things on the Internet. She likes our little tractor, so she's in to the Cub Cadet stuff. I'm about to show her a video I found of a 147 throwing snow. I guarantee she'll mention how she wants to use it when we get...

    Building a Better PC

    KentuckyKen: Take a gander at the LG units for your living room some time. They really do have the eye candy factor of the Samsungs, but none of the Samsung pricing. My wife and I have had a 46" LG for about seven months now, and we love it. No regrets, and half the price of the comparable...

    I use Right Stuff often, and it is incredibly good stuff, in spite of being kind of pricey. I have now even used it in place of anaerobic sealer on an automotive transmission because it holds up to Dexron ATF, which is something most gasket makers can't do. They should have called it Awesome Stuff.

    Gerry: It's perfect. A good visual is great every now and then. I can even make out the part number on the instruction sheet. Thank you!

    Gerry: I was beginning to feel left out due to my 48" deck, but I see you have one, too. The ditch/hill in front of my house is just steep enough that when I try to run up it, the steel runners on my deck tend to spear the turf and stop me dead. I end up having to pull out the little...
