    Narrow Frame vs. Wide Frame

    Correct, The 71 and 73 are an exception to this…. But, he had asked about the last narrow and first wideframes…. So that is what I was basing my response from…

    Narrow Frame vs. Wide Frame

    73, 106, 107, 126, 127, 147 - Last Narrow frame 86, 108, 109, 128, 129, 149, 169 - First wide frames Additionally, Even number is a Manual transmission (the 73 is also, and an exception to this.) Odd number is a Hydro Transmission

    K301 rebuild

    I’d also bet, back in the day, IH used the same paint on everything…. If it was yellow, it was the same paint… white, the same…. I’ve even seen pictures where there is yellow paint on the S/G Belt…. And the runs/sags….. If you have “restored to factory” a Cub Cadet, if the paint is...

    782, K17 1st Gen. Keeping the covers off.

    On any of the tractors with the enclosed engine bay (Quietline, 82 Series, Cyclops and even newer than those), yes. All the tins on the engine direct the cooling air in the proper locations. On all these, the fan sucks “cool” air from under the tractor, and inside the dash tower, and blows it...

    My first cub.

    Yes, it will work. I have a rear lift casting from a 782 on my 1450…

    New From NC

    I agree, the extra sheet metal on a Quietline doesn’t really add any extra time. The 2 side panels can be removed in a minute or two. 2 wing bolts and unhook a spring and they are off. Then it’s not much different than any of the other ones, as far as tin work. But I prefer the wide frames over...

    Why are there so many Models?

    Cost was another factor. The 7/8 horse models were normally “bare bones“ machines (they could be optioned up) and sold at a lower price. They could do the same work as the larger hp tractors, maybe not as well, but still could. The 14/16/17 hp models could do some of the work better, but came at...

    Vermeer M 147H PTO questions

    CCSpecalities (colorful box up top) should have the parts to rebuild it, or even an already rebuilt one. I think he might even rebuild yours if you send it to him…. Charlie, am I correct on all 3 of these….. LOL

    solenoid parts and pieces

    That arcing that causes the pitting/carbon build up is why some solenoids have a “rotator“ for that disk, so it makes contact in different places every time, instead of the same place every time it’s activated. I’ve read the Motorcraft solenoid used for the glow plugs on the 7.3 IDI Ford trucks...

    Family owned 1970 107 from gray hawk ky

    Welcome from Central Indiana…. However, as strange as it may sound…. I know where Grey Hawk actually is. My Fiiance’s mom lives off Soaptown Road…. My Cubs have put some work in down there…. Much different that flat Indiana….. LOL

    Ignition condenser.

    I have to agree with Denny on this one. I have a 2020 ULTIMA ZT1 54” CUb Zero Turn. This year will be the 4th season that I have used it. In the last 3 seasons, I have fed it gas, and done the routine maintenance. I hop on it, hit the key and go mow. It has the 534 inch heavy fabricated...

    What can you glean from a terrible picture?

    In all honesty, no. But that is my opinion. I am a high horsepower, wideframe guy. Dad and I have 10 all together (or maybe 12, I don't remember), but ALL of them are 149,14/1650's,782's. In the 45 years of owing cubs, we have had 3 narrow frames. Dad's 1st one in 76 or 77 was a 105, that...

    What can you glean from a terrible picture?

    What I see..... maybe... The farthest 2 are 1x4/5. The stripes do look blue... no black like on the 1x6/7 with the same grille.. Then a blue stripe wideframe, which would be a 149/169, more than likely a 149, since there were a bunch more of those made... and as mentioned above, that is not a...

    torque wrench recommendations

    I have watched every one of Todd's videos. Expensive isn't always the best... and cheap isn't always junk..... He tests across the board of tools.... and Harbor Freight isn't automatically junk.... and snap on doesn't always come out #1......
