Art A.-

Is the model number decal still visible? Neither 767 nor 787 are "kind codes" that identify an IH Cub Cadet. I don't believe those work for a CCC built tractor either, but I don't have the book in front of me to look.

Digger, I second that thought! I finally got all the ICE cleaned off the driveway yesterday...We had 32 degrees today!!

Marlin, sorry to hear bout your cat buddy, I know I get REALLY attached to my dogs and can't bare to know there not doing well. Pets are family.

Just a thought with the erratic spark, check the point push rod, I've had some that had mushroomed and gave all sorts of problems. If thats the case replace it with a steel one. Some were aluminum, or at least real soft.

Has anybody like I did stumble across this when going over a XX8,XX9 series?

I found this on the underside of the fiberglass dash, just above the throttle control on the WOT side. It appears to be a build/assembly date. I know the pic is hard to make out, but it reads Aug 24 1971. It looks to me like a library book stamp by the smeared ink. According to the build date of my tractor it is a Sept 1971 built. Any idea's?

Marlin, sorry for your loss. I agree that pets become members of the family. So it is just the same when a pet passes on.

Marlin pretty much said it all, thanks for the advice and we will try the pushrod tomorrow. thats about the only thing we have left! thanks again and we'll give it a shot.....mcaruth

Todd - More than likely the stamp date was at the time of inspection for quality then it wasn't used in your production until September.

... and , QUOTE: ,"It looks to me like a library book stamp by the smeared ink."

You may want to check on that, it may be over due !

Todd . I have some new old stock fiberglass dashes here and they have a date also and were never installed on a tractor. Must be like Ken said and just for the production / inspection of the dash

 

[digger]

At this rate, PD might just be hot!

Welcome aboard Randy and Mike.

Mike C. I'll be over after bit.

Angel and I want to thank everyone for their kind thoughts and words. To some Sadie was "just a cat". In the little over seven and a half years that I knew her, she was so much more. Just like you fellas have stated... "Like a member of the family."

Todd H.-

I've seen dates written on the inside of some tractor parts, and the 682 I had had a date tag on the wiring harness.

 

[theaton]

Jason D.
Spindles are easy.
Cotter keys, wrenches and a BFH for the spindle cap pin if it's tight, which most are not and your off and runnin.

Ken, I got bored a couple weeks ago and did this on the Paint.net program.
