    Wow! I really appreciate the feedback. I know tires are are hot debate topic for many. I fall more into the "look" more than functionality column. When my Dad restored our D200 he put Carlisle Super Lugs on it after a few winters of chains and wheel weights. The lugs coupled with the always...

    No chains. Yet anyway. This last storm turned to soup before I could make a stab at plowing the backyard. The ground also hasn't really froze so my fear of digging up the lawn got the better of me. The plows cutting edge needs to be reworked and shoes replaced. I appreciate the tips on tires...

    Figured it's been a bit. I finally got the plow mounted up today. I had a bear of a time spreading the rear forks out enough to mount on the pegs properly. A little extra persuasion and I am ready to play around a bit finally. I was impressed after soaking the angle latch pin I was able to...

    I'll attach my video below. Gary nailed it with the fuel line just dragging enough on the throttle linkage. A quick bit of repositioning and I now have complete control over my throttle. New video by David Collard I enjoy working on my Deere but its a workhorse machine so I don't get the same...

    Few good updates on my 106! I cleaned the sediment bowl along with the gas tank and found success last weekend. I was correct in my thinking that the gravity fed system needs enough fuel in the tank to keep the carburetor bowl full. The new ignition system definitely did the trick in getting...

    Did a full replacement of the ignition system yesterday. New points, condenser, coil, plug wire and spark plug. Set all the gaps according to the manual. Voltage Regulator looked new inside but I cleaned it up anyway. I now have good consistent spark. I went to start it and already noticed a...

    Doh! Fair point I didn't even consider that. I do enjoy messing around in my CAD programs though! I suppose as the winter draws on in New England I might find time to mess around a bit with it.

    Been a week so I figured I'd give an update. Over the weekend I swapped out the carb and changed the oil. Happy to report the oil other than being dirty was free of any containments. The tractor fired up for the first time strictly off of fuel and runs. It runs rough. But it runs! Very exciting...

    Yup! Always good for a check in and quick sniff at a moments notice!

    Did some muddling around on Monday afternoon. The carb was "moist" to say the least. That little bit of surface rust behind where the carb mounts shouldn't be an issue correct? I ordered a new carb kit on the Bezos express along with new fuel line & some clean new air filters. Also unstuck the...

    So its been a long day but I have my new 106 home. Picked the UHAUL up in the morning and made my way over to get the machine loaded. The gentleman I bought it from was kind enough to help me get it on the truck. Brought it home and promptly got it unloaded without issue! I was dreading wheeling...

    Air cleaner did indeed come with it as well. It's a little soggy and needs a new filter but otherwise all there.

    Went to look at the 106 and it was a no brainer. Clean machine, I'll be the third owner. Was inside a garage somewhere in CT until the second owner bought it two years ago. They used it a few times and then parked it outside for a year. Really clean machine. A quick power wash will shine her...

    Well I now have a narrow frame plow. Just needs a tractor to go with it! Kid I bought it off of said he found it from a guy on the Cape. A little elbow grease and this thing should clean up nicely.

    Figured I'd post an update. I spoke with the guy that has the 106 and I'll be taking a look at her on Saturday! Now to source a plow blade. Pretty excited to get the ball rolling.

    After reading and digging around I couldn't agree more Gary. I'm no tractor snob, they all have their pluses and minuses but for whatever reason out my way the green machines from yesteryear draw big bucks.

    I wound up reaching out to the guy with the 106. Hoping to hear its not been sold yet! I'll have to do some searching on here but does anyone know if a 106 can have a electric or hydraulic lift added to it after the fact? Would it bolt directly on and just require some wiring changes?

    Hello All! I am new to the forum and Cubs. I've bled green for a long time, and as a kid with my dad had a WH D200 so bled red for awhile too. I guess I just like old equipment! I am looking to pickup this weekend a new machine to tinker with / use around the yard. I'd love to have a Deere 318...
