    Mule drive problems

    I get the forum info every day but haven't posted anything for a long while mainly because I haven't had any problems with my original ( sold) or the 129 that I have now...until now. The mule drive roller isn't keeping the belt tight. I assume it's the spring but I can't find any information...

    Four digit original

    You might be hitting red lead primer. It was used on a whole lot of steel in the old days. Be sure to wear protection when your working around it.

    Mower Blade Orientation

    Thanks very much for the information. I don't know if these are factory blades they don't look exactly like the FESM 2828 image but they are pretty well made and the rotation is secure and square with the deck I'm going to check the deck the next time I pull it. I don't recall seeing the...

    Mower Blade Orientation

    I have a 129 with the 44 inch 3 blade deck I usually drop the deck twice a year and sharpen the blades. I've never paid much attention to the orientation of the blades when I re-mount them. No matter how you mount then they can't hit the other blades but the cut seems to have a high spot at...

    Favorite model?

    I had an original for 25 years that ran when I sold it but I really like my 129..great running tough tractor, easy to maintain and troubleshoot without all of the fancy (costly) interlocks.

    102 ag tires

    I ended up buying Carlisle turf tires 4-plyLRB from Walmart.. $65 each. Haven't got them yet, they are being delivered to the store...$12 each for mounting. I had ended up cutting the the old ones off and I figured it was worth it to let them do it.

    102 ag tires

    Is this Summit Racing? I looked all over there today and can't find any 23x8.50-12 tires. Am I looking at the wrong Summit?

    102 ag tires

    Along those lines, I'm thinking about some new tires for my 129...I recently put some new front tires on it and found that mounting them if they were sent collapsed was near impossible mounting them expanded tricky until I got the hang of it...Can you mount the rear tires with hand tools?

    125 Motor Issue?

    I've had a 129 for 4 years ...no problems other than the usual maintenance issues but I noticed a filter in your breakdown of the breather assembly. I didn't know it had one. Should it be replaced or cleaned periodically ?

    Ron S Thanks for the information. I looked in Charlies faq's and measured my old belt again and it's absolutely 79 inches so I'm going to go out and measure the pulley as the faq indicates a 79 on a 5 inch pulley and I seem to remember the guy I bought it from said something about a higher...

    I haven't posted here for a while but I'm still cubbing and I stop in often to see what other cubbers are doing with their machines. Today I'd like to pick up some information. The main drive belt on my 129 w/50 inch deck finally broke after many good years and I've been checking around for a...

    Thanks for the information. I'll give the screw method a try. If that don't work, I'll go to plan 2.

    Good afternoon and Merry Christmas. I was getting my 129 ready for the snow that may never show up this year when I broke a grease fitting off on what I think is called the front axle pivot pin. The grease fittings that I'm familiar with are threaded but this one seems to be pressed in it had...
