Kentuck Ken - You asked a couple pages back what motor oil makes a Good Snack.... Dad used 30 weight Farm Service (FS) Series III oil in the old JD 4010.... I never tried any of it but the 4010 sure liked it! I normally had a soda pop, normally 7-Up and a handful of Oreo cookies.

Reading the new posts from the top down, so I just learned the source of the great pics. I echo the sentiments regarding the loss of your dad. Thank you for your efforts to preserve and share some great memories.

Dave Carlson, I believe Art Aytay and other's here have said it better then I could however I'll try. My condolences on the passing of your father. Thank you for preserving and sharing those photos.
Bruce, drooling? Yes!
But Charlie beat me to asking about the photos.....
Lip, best way to figure out the length of lift rod you need is the way that Steve Blunier measured for his blade. Park your Cub up on 2x blocks with the snowthrower resting on your garage floor then measure the distance between the lift bracket on the Cub and the lift bracket on the Snowthrower.
Or just make one of these:

Dave Carlson,
Thanks for the pictures from your Dad's involvement with Cub Cadets at IH. I'm sure that Charlie and Kraig would love to obtain your dad's papers and pictures for preservation here on the forum but I would also like to mention a fellow by the name of Hank Will and Red Power magazine to you. Hank (along w/other contributors), writes a column for each edition of Red Power called the "Yellow and White Pages" that features Cub Cadets. Hank use to be frequent contributor to the forum until he accepted a job as head editor of a magazine in Topeka, KS and is now extremely busy. He has also authored a book or two on Cub Cadets. I'm sure you have many interesting stories you could share about your dad and his work at IH and your testing of Cub Cadets that would make for an great article.
Alternatively, Cub Cadet Connection is a forum sponsor as shown at the top of the page that may be interested in doing an article as well.

DAVE CARLSON - I saw Your post on the last page. Sorry to hear about Your Father....I lost My Dad in Oct. '06 and I've only missed Him Everyday since.
The Wisconsin State Historical Society got ALL the rest of the IHC Archives, photo's, memo's, etc. and I'm sure they would keep Your Dad's things as well. WSHS is in Madison, WI. One of the frequent authors of many books on IH ag equip., and current President of Chapter #4 (Wisconsin) IH Collectors Association, GUY FAY used to work there until budget cutbacks. If You Google Him or the Historical Society I'm sure You can e-mail them.

Ron, excellent points!
Hank Will or the Sell family at Cadet Connection would be good choices that would use those photos for a good article, or several articles! FWIW, Hank, Charlie, myself, and countless others have all shared info, none of us are in the hobby of Cub Cadets to hoard info. We like to share and I would and I'm sure Charlie would also share those photos with Hank and or The Sells were they to come into our possession!
I think I'm gettin a glass fetish going on here!
Don T.

Thanks for such a warm welcome!
Glad you enjoyed the pictures - I enjoyed sharing them. Several of you have suggested that the originals go to a public location with long-term archive responsibilities. That seems to make sense to me. But, I feel very willing to share all the digital materials, including in high resolution, if I can figure out how to do that.
Yes, I live in the UK and work around the world. Dad lived and worked in the Midwestern USA. For a summary of Dad's
career, plus some more personal reminiscences, please see my blog:

If you guys can post pictures of broken drive belts and of fresh cans of lubricant, apparently in violation of your pre-1981 rule, then I can post this picture:
Harold S. Lorier, of the Kohler Engines Publication Department, made a colorful and humorous poster for Dad's retirement; Kohler management signed it. This image sat at the center of the poster. Note the analog cut and paste - real cutting tools and liquid adhesive.
I don't make too much of these plaudits and gifts, presented in the rosy glow of retirement. But I do get a sense that Dad loved his job, especially during the Cub Cadet period, and that many people enjoyed working with him. I enjoy sharing those stories with you.

For Kraig and Robert,
Follow up from last week, here are the photos,
Start with a spindle and hub from a cub 154,
Cut at white line,
Take spindle bracket from wide frame with 1" spindles and remove the spindle and replace with spindle fron 154 cub, weld in place,
Finished product,
Now you can mount a 5 bolt cub cadet rim onto the front or use rims with the 1" center hole bearing like this,
The other way is to take a nf spinlde,
Cut it off 2.5 inch above the steering linkage, take anpther nf spinlde and cut off at black line seen in photo,
Add a Cat.1 to Cat.2 bushing and weld together for finished product, adds 3" to spindle length.
