Hi all,
I had a few things follow me home today too. Got a 108 in great shape, an IH tow behind sweeper and an IH plow. He also threw in a speader, cart,chains, homemade rear weight and manuals for the tractor and implements. He seemed real happy when I gave him his $100 asking price.

no prob... I was thinkin' tho... (scary) an auto transmission shift cable out of a car like an aerostar for example, would work also...

Hey Tom H my wifes cousin picked an 1100 up (not cadet) last year from the place he used to work ,got it for $100. but it had been rolled and the steering col. was toast . had a rough time finding parts for it . if you need anything try west kentucky tractor .
He asked me to fix it for him and get it running ,I was kinda hoping he didn`t want it and I could put some 782 tin on it . only thing is the 2 cyl. is kinda rough compared to a kubota

Gotta farming friend that is looking at purchasing a 5488. I'm well experianced in driving the 86 series but never an 88. Do any of you guys know anything about these. I was told once along time ago that you have to watch out when buying an 88 series. Towards the end they were sticking an part into them that would work. Was there a serial # break? Please email me privately. [email protected]

Thanks!

Wayne Nice cubbin day ... Also wondering if the amp gauge was an option on the 70/100 if so where did it mount TIA Rob

I didn't like the way my cabs doors opened. They worked like a shower curtain. It was hard to open them and it is somewhat clumsy. I decided to install a few extra bars and some hinges. Now they open like doors. If I don't like the way they work I can always take off the bars and put it back. Next spring when I take the cab off I'll paint the bars federal yellow. I think I'll also paint the whole cab and do some body work too.
Old way

Hinged

I have seen pictures of canvas doors that open like this. Was that an option or were those doors modified?

Lets see, yesterday am it was 10 below zero, just now breaking 10 above. Just setting here watching PD and tractor show videos. DAMN I wish is was spring!!

Tom- If it will make you feel better, I planted my onions last week! Another month or two, you guys up north should be able to do the same!!

Hi All.

Terry B.- I'm not sure about Cub branded cabs, but ones for "green" tractors switched from the sliding door to a rear hinged type door in the mid to later 70's. I have an earlier cab and like you said, the sliding door can be a big pain to use, plus the fact the vinyl doesn't bend near as easy when it is cold out.
