    CC 125 pto clutch removal

    I would have bought one of those, but it was outside of my budget.

    CC 125 pto clutch removal

    As far as cutting it off goes, you could also use a vibrating "multi-tool". I bought one at " Harbor-Fright! " and it has worked to get into places a "normal" tool can't. The only caveat is the replaceable blades seem to be proprietary, but they're not too awful expensive and there are many...

    782 Cub Cadet Excessive oil in Air Filter

    Let me point out that I did say, "a fix for a more serious problem than a clogged or miss-assembled breather".

    782 Cub Cadet Excessive oil in Air Filter

    I wonder if an "oil trap can" might help. It goes between the crankcase breather and the air-filter. It routes oil mist through a series of baffles to cause it to condensate and run to the bottom of the can. Some cans you unscrew to drain it, the better ones have a valve tap at its bottom you...

    WOW ! Short pivot, long arched rack = super high leverage. Never seen anything like it before. Is this meant for cracking nuts? If so, I couldn't imagine one being a challenge.

    Kind of looks like a mini horizontal arbor press. Now that I have a decent shop, I've got a serious American made arbor press (5T). Now all I need are some black walnuts!

    Gardens 2023

    I remember back in the '60s, my mom (RIP) & I would collect black walnuts from under a HUGE tree in an old cemetery back in Connecticut, 3 or 4 five gal. pails full. The hulls were still mostly green. She used to let them sit with the pail covers on until the husks would kinda liquefy. Then...

    New mower is a piece of junk so far!

    I would think there is probably a way to adjust or relocate the safety switches mentioned, so that you can still maintain the intended protection and not sacrifice body parts in the event of someone's moment of inattention. With that said, we owners/operators of our equipment often find all...

    Motor oil

    When I spoke with the office folks at the recycle center, they told me they get paid for the used oil and antifreeze by a contractor who sells it to a refiner near Long Beach. Current spot price of crude is about $90 a barrel. There are 168 quarts to the barrel. The city is paying $16.80 for a...

    Motor oil

    I guess I'm lucky. In the town I live in in southern California, The recycling center gives you $0.10 a quart for used motor oil. They also take brake fluid, antifreeze, hydraulic oil, tranny fluid, etc, but no cash for those. They always take the usual E-waste. All of it anytime. I guess it's...

    Primer on engine ?

    I've got headers on my truck. As soon as I bought them I got them "ceramic coated" by Jet-Hot company with Jet-Hot’s Ultra. Good for up to 2500 degrees F. If it's good enough for NASCAR and John Force, it's good enough for me. If the price is too high, you can get a decent product off of Eb*y...

    Primer on engine ?

    What about the paint they sell for brake calipers in the auto-parts stores? It seems that if it will take the heat of brake calipers, it might just work for engines. If that doesn't work, then how about wood stove black/polish ? That I'll take up to 850 degrees or so.

    Parts Wanted tires wanted

    I bought my US made pair from an E*ay seller. The cheapest price I found, including shipping + tax. Right to my door through UPS. The deep lug AG style I got were listed for a ditch trencher machine. Super heavy and super heavy duty. Installed them with tubes as I wanted to load them with old...

    Is there a better one of the IH Cadets?

    jdrong said ~ "Ok, But I didn't ask how to break an axle. I asked if anyone had an axle failure with normal factory intended use." You're right, good point. Considering what it took for me to break mine, I can't imagine one breaking from "normal" use, large or small spline.

    Is there a better one of the IH Cadets?

    I never said the splines on the axle had anything to do with the failure. The splines did NOT fail. I twisted the end of the axle off were the splines stop and the smooth portion of the axle begins. I figured the failure resulted from good traction, the high torque output of the hydrostatic...

    Is there a better one of the IH Cadets?

    Yeah, I have. I've got a 1976 CC 1650 with a #14 Work Horse front-end loader on it. Got loaded AG tires and about 300lb of counter weight on the back. Added that because when I try to lift a bucket full of 3/4 minus, it would almost lift the rear tires off the ground and I couldn't backup...

    rusty primer

    Maybe a coat of light gray primer over the red before using the yellow/white colors would give a better result?

    I was just cutting my grass and this happened…

    WOW! What a score for $300. I would tell the wife it's an investment as it's worth way more than $300 once you get it all cleaned up and looking good. The decks and the plow might take a little effort to sort out and repaint.
