Jeff, I know for certain, that my area of location is quite the honey hole for finding the IH Cub Cadet garden tractor, and implements. As a true enthusiast, I have sent parts to folks for just a few dollars above the shipping costs. Parts can be that fortunate here at times. But, with my wedding in September of '16, I just cant enjoy my cub funds to the fullest at this time.

I suggested, as to keep in his back pocket, if by chance to buy a whole IH Cub Cadet if luck would have it.

I'm also awaiting the outcome of how that input shaft got so pointy. There should be metal shavings abundant. Or, I'm going guess by now those holes are in need of replacement or repair.

EVERYONE!

Thank you for all the great ideas and suggestions. I'm actually excited to start working on the tractor again! I'm still reading and printing posts...

Based on what you guys said... I'm going to start by getting the transmission warm and draining it. This could take a bit. I'm not sure if I want to move it or work where it is.

At least, now I have direction and lots of great ideas. I appreciate you all so much. I'm glad I joined this forum. In a few days I'll post my progress!

MOVE it!
Even if the rear end is locked up, with the snow on the ground, it's not gonna hurt a thing to drag it to the shed!

If I can be pulled by a 4 wheeler doing 25+ M.P.H. through a plowed field, pulling yours in the snow is a no brainer! LOL

 

[jmulloy]

Dude,

I've got a fractured rib and my only shed caved in from the weight of the snow... I'm thinking pay to get plowed and then truck it out or build a hoop house over it and start some propane heaters. I have no snow vehicles that can move it. It used to be me and a football sled harness, but it hurts to sneeze.

 

[digger]

In that case, Get a long extension cord and a magnetic heater to stick under the rear end, LOL

 

[jmulloy]

LOL, I'm off-grid. No power or water unless I bring it in. How bout' I fly you in and we go from there?

 

[digger]

Send someone to feed the wood stove and we've got a deal!

At least you've got snow!!!!!

When will teleportation be a thing? You rock digger. I can't say I have a reliable soul to keep things stoked around here. It's either brave the northwest... or stay home. Cheers though mate. I've been digging your input.

Did he just call Charlie a "Dude"?

I'm sure he's been called PLENTY of things... But this might be a first on this forum.

Let's not recall the 70's. I wasn't even born til 1980.

Go Cub Cadet! Off the grid and cubbin' it. I love it Jared, keep us posted.

I like Jared's idea:

I have 2 model 100s and at the top center of the grille housing their is a gap on both of them what purpose do they serve?

 

[kshultz]

Timothy,
This is a pic of my 100. What gap are you talking about?

 

[hydroharry]

Tim D - are you referring to the opening for the "headlight panel" or "blank-out plate". In this pic you can see the blank-out plate with the IH decal, which is where the optional headlight panel would be installed

(Under Edit - Shultzie, your pic is definitely much better than the one I stole from the archives)

 

[tsdeese]

It's above the headlight panel in the cast iron it's right below the hood ornament. I thought it was broken so I ordered a grille housing from rf Houtz and it's the exact same way I'll try to post a picture of it tomorrow

 

[prtombaugh]

Tim D. I think this is the gap or notch you are referring to?? I have 4 70's and 4 100's. They all have the notch but they are not all quite the same. At least one of my tractors has two notches. I have no idea what they're for, if anything. Maybe just a "birthmark from the casting mold.

Just a quick stop to fuel the latest Muscle Cub.

 

[dschwandt]

Paul and all
It's probably where the sprew (sp) or stem (part where the molten metal was poured into the mold) was broken off when they stripped it from the mold.
