Tom "P", You 100 looks great, but will the Kohler fit in there with the muffler you have on it now?

 

[lpalma]

Tom, nice job on the 100! Very nice.

Luther I didn't forget yours. That's a nice looking 127. My 107 looks just as nice.

 

[theaton]

Lewis, Luther, or anybody. What are the "extra" holes in the frame for? Mid mount bolted attachments?

Vrey slow day. Glad to be living in the midwest now Spokane washington has roofs of buildings collapsing from the weight of snow and rain load

 

[jbliler]

Tom H, they did offer a "quiet" kit for the 100's It could be it. I have never seen one for real though. There is lots of cub stuff I have never seen though.

I picked up a blower today. 5 hour trip each way to New Jersey, but for a $100 I couldn't pass it up. Look at the third picture, the PO added to the spiral part and hard surfaced welded it. That should hold up to the shale I will throw into the yard this winter. Got the new 1450 driveshaft mounted in the 149 and got the blower mounted but now the tractor won't start. First time ever it didn't start. Tomorrow is another day. Question: I put the blower on and when the mule drive is all the way back into the frankenstein bolts, the lock bar won't snap downward into the locked position............any ideas???? Thanks, Nick

I have a 127 and when its real cold it won't start. When the temps get into the 20's it starts. Any ideas. Thanks

Nick H - When the bar on my 1250 wouldn't snap back up I found the "hinge" pins were just very gummed up from old grease and dirt. Clean them up good and see if that helps. Also, make sure the bar isn't bent, which would also cause it to bind. Finally, check the latch springs to see if either one is broken or out of place.

Oh, also make sure the mule drive isn't damaged or bent in that area, too.

Nick H.-

Locked is up, and it appears to be all the way up in the pictures. I don't think there's anything wrong...

 

[glippert]

Nick H - Part #4 below shows the latch springs I mentioned in my previous post.

 

[lpalma]

I thought locked was down? See the 125 in my last post. I don't now why there are so many holes but I know the first three are for attachments for the front mule drive.

Matt G - good catch - I misread his question.
