I'm no farmer, but it looks like a middle buster off a hiller/furrower.
It looks like it tore up the ground pretty good, but a Brinly plow with a sleeve hitch adapter like Kraig & Randy B are posting might roll it over more.

Randy B. Sleeve Hitch adapters are expensive because they last a long time with reasonable use.

"Can I still say what I use too" I never expected to see that from some people until they had been poofed at least twice.

Ken,
Beats me, I've never seen one with a stake pocket, even in the brochures, Course I could have missed it.

Kraig,
Since it's obvious that the Cub is super imposed to that location. Has anyone ever mentioned or know the building in the back ground or where it might be?
Or who the old guy is that always shows up when the camera arrives, LOL

Kraig -

Stake pockets are shown some of the accessory catalogs...

 

[digger]

I'll betcha she's in 3rd gear too!

 

[kmcconaughey]

Bryan, which catalog did you find that in?

 

[bmcmeen]

Kraig -

Mouse over the picture

It's the one on my site, it also appears in the one that we have at the top of this site.

CHARLIE - And She's got the LEAF MULCHER PLATE installed

. I really don't see Her running any faster than 2nd.

Bryan, my install of Mozilla Firefox doesn't have that popup of the image name. Thanks.

Charlie, I dont like the stance of my 149, needs to set up a little higher in the front, otherwise, I'm good...

 

[digger]

LOL, I see ya changed it.

Well put 18's on the front. That will solve that problem.

I have made two sleave hitches using the template kraig posted. I used angle iron for strength.

Terry,
Kentuck says you ain't a welder unless you don't burn the wood on your pattern!

 

[gcoleman]

Well, you see Charlie, I would, but they don't make triple rib tires at 18-6050-10 sizes... Bummer

Not much to do here at the moment, it looks like my Hydro linkage piece won't be here until Monday. I guess I can always work on changing the pulley on the snowblower though. The PO used a 5/8" pulley to run it off his 782, but I can only put a 1/2" wide belt tops on the PTO on the 129. Hope to have it all back together before the flakes fall.

I also am looking for opinions on mufflers, since it seems a lot of you guys are running out the sides and up with rain caps on them, and my OEM muffler is pretty well burned out inside.

Glen - How's the engine teardown going?

Anyway, here is a shot of the broken piece that controls the friction on the Hydro lever, which I tried twice to weld, and of the 129 as it sits tonight.

I thought the # 1 trailer had a long trip handle on it, the black & white photos dont show that?

 

[rhenning]

Glen actually they do make 18 inch tri-ribs. Company's name is Verdesian (sp) and the model number is V61. Do a V61 search on the weekendfreedommachine.com site and you can find where to buy and cost. Roger

I was going through some OLD emails and I thought you guys might get a kick out of how much I DID NOT (and still don't)know at one time, not that many years ago! LOL
Email I sent to Rich Patton,

Ok, Now I'm really have a DUMB day. The number on the Tranny is 3855058R1,
What the hell have I got?LOL
And what do you have that I need?
I hate being stupid, I went to that website and I still can't figure this thing out. Sorry to be such a pain in the you know what!
