    Tractor shows

    Hi Charlie. No problem. The only bad part about the show is that for reasons I couldn't control I was not able to clean and take up my dad's 1206. Although I'm a "green" guy, I like all old tractors. I here that there is suppose to be a Red Power Roundup at Laporte, IN in 2010, which is only...

    Tractor shows

    Hi All. I am throwing out a plug for my "local" show held in Winamac, IN. This year the show falls on the dates of July 19 through the 22. This is a very nice, family friendly show that has many working displays, a flea market/swap meet, horse pull, live bands as well as tractor displays...

    Hi All. Terry B.- I'm not sure about Cub branded cabs, but ones for "green" tractors switched from the sliding door to a rear hinged type door in the mid to later 70's. I have an earlier cab and like you said, the sliding door can be a big pain to use, plus the fact the vinyl doesn't bend...

    Hi All. Dennis F.- Thanks for the story on the 1206. You are right that there aren't a whole lot of them around. Even my dad's is a bit of a junkyard dog as it has the larger 1256 engine in it. Also when he had the transmission/rearend gone through back in about 1984 it was found to have...

    Hi All. I just got back from the farm toy show in Winamac, IN this morning. Even though I'm from over on the "green" side of the fence, you guy's would be proud. I came home with a small stack of older Cub manuals & Updike's new book (to keep this post on-topic) and the Precision Farmall 1206...

    Hi All. Charlie- 10.50 Firestones. Hmmm, I bet Steve B. is drooling just as much as I am Sounds like they should be available just in time for some spring plowing. Kent

    Hi All. Steve B.- I'd say he was in the 5" deep range (but I don't have that heavy dirt like you do ). He was running w/o coulters because of the trashy conditions, so I'm sure that it would have had a nicer furrow with the coulters on, but I would say it wasn't any worse than what the...

    Hi again All. I just got done uploading the pictures from today at http://www.weekendfreedommachines.com/gallery/Ortman_Plowday_1 The pictures there of the two bottom are slightly bigger and higher resolution than the ones I posted here (as I had to really shrink them down to get down to...

    Archive through October 12, 2005

    Hi All. I had a little gathering here at my place today and thought with the talk of two bottom garden tractor plows, I'd share some pictures of one a local guy made up using two 10" Brinly plow bottoms. It does a pretty good job, although in fairly heavy trash it will plug...

    Model Comparison

    Hi All. After lurking over here for several years and buying Ken's book I think I have a pretty good grasp on the IH made Cub Cadet's and how they compare to the brand I collect (yeah, I'm from over on the "green" side of the fence). I know pretty much nothing about the post-IH made ones...

    Hi Steve. Yes, when I bought my first pair of Firestones, I compared them to the 8.50 Goodyear and 10.50 Tru-Powers and saw that they kind of fell in between in tread width, and were just a tad taller. I also have been very happy with my Tru-Powers, but on my 140, I do give the nod to the...

    Hi Steve. I figured once you got back in from the field you'd have something to say I hadn't see any pictures of your 782 with 8.50's on it yet, that is what got me to thinking. This is the first time I've had anything with more than 14hp under the hood and I wasn't sure if the 8.50's would...

    Hi All. With fall plowing coming up and having a newer, more powerful tractor to use (although like the rest of mine, it is the wrong color) I have a tire question. Thanks to Steve B. for making me a firm believer in 23x8.50-12 Firestone bar tires, they have worked excellent on my 14hp and...

    Antique I.H. Gas Engines

    Hey Kurt. It was fun talking to you at Winamac. Did you get this thing running yet? Your wife see it yet too? Hope you aren't sleeping out with the Cubs because of it Kent
