Evan, I'm curious about your fenders. Did you make them or order them from someplace? Also what are their demensions and weight? Been look for something simiular for a puller of mine but I really have to watch the weight, I'm not a small guy!

Thanks

Jason

Nichols is one place that sells them, we modify them. They are steel so not as light as aluminum. They start out about 9" wide and 34" long and we use a shrinker/stretcher and english wheel to get them to look right.We used them on this tractor also. We've bought trailer fenders and modified them also.

Wyatt,
I snapped a pic myself while at Little G.

 

[jlang]

I don't know Wyatt, It does look like MEIN KUB though doesn't it?

 

[wheinsohn]

That is "Mein Cub". I talked to him last year at Little G. He said he bought it from Tom H. and did a few changes. You can still see the holes in the hood where Tom had the stacks coming out.

thank you for your help i figured out what my problem was i set my wheelie bars wrong i have another question will the pulleys from a 7hp kohler fit a 10, 12,14, or 16hp kohler im trying to wedge one into an original thank you for your time

 

[kondracek]

i have another one to is there a way to improve the clutch on an original thank you for your time

 

[dvogt]

the pulley's would change over as long as they have a 1 in pto end.

I don't know if I'ld worry about the clutch as much as that belt.

CONGRADULATIONS, POPS!!!

WOW! 22 in your class and you whipped them all - Good Job!

Sounds like you've got that 10HP of yours running top notch!
Keep up the good work of teaching them 'boys' just how to build & pull a tuff Cubbie!
Maybe they'll want lessons on how to build/pull one just like yours!

Thanks Ryan!!!!!!!!! It was funny a lot of the pullers came over to look at my tractor with many compliments toward the job that was done (finish work) anyway, somebody asked if all I did was pull with it.

I said I like taking it to shows and said H--- I even had to mow with it last week which I did. That little 10 horse barks pretty good but I had the tractor balanced really good which is kinda amazing with using the cast iron front still.
