I was also looking at the thrower wings from Extreme. They would be in front of the wheels. Only $10 more than a set of skids.

Its been discussed here before, but seems like creepers are either properly filled and always weeping out the breather or somewhere, or dry like that one.

my creeper is on a 70. Do 122-124-126-86-800 etc creepers keep their oil better with the pipe extension?

Craig C.
Yes

Under Edit,
I will say that if you do a 70/30 mixture of Hytran and 90 weight, that issue will go away without adding the extension pipe.

I guess it works.

 

[jbaker]

sweet Doug, looks dialed in

Charlie...
Would that be good advise for the rear and transmission also on a GD?

I mean, as long as I have mine all opened up and empty.....

 

[digger]

David S.
If it were mine, I wouldn't.

I'll stick with Hytran only in gear drives and hydros around here.

Creepers, tiller and thrower gear boxes yes!
Especially in my neck of the frozen tundra, LOL

So yet another guy said his PTO did not work after buying and installing a rebuild kit.

 

[danderson]

I'd say that one is a definite spring installed backwards.

Charlie - I guess you're gonna have to get a sticker that says "This Side UP".

Course I suppose you could get one that says
"If you can see this when you're done you installed it upside down"

Honestly, I actually remember the 1st Narrow Frame PTO clutch I rebuilt and thinking it sure seems like that spring fits in there better and easier when it's upside down - but then realizing it won't really have any spring action. I'd also be surprised if the measuring gauge/tool would show the correct tension if the spring is upside down. Want to try it just for kicks Charlie and let us know?

Doug A - looks like the wheels are working pretty good. I do see some white lines I assume are where the wheels packed the snow a little. I'd still like to know if it works ok with about 6-8" of snow.

Harry
A quick look at the instructions,shows what ways it goes on.
Charlie,
Do you send instructions,or do people just don't bother to read them?

 

[digger]

All kits come with instructions from Cub Cadet.
And no I don't take'um out before they ship.

 

[danderson]

The tires do pack it down a little. I think the skids might have done it a little also. The scrapers work well. Maybe another 3" tomorrow but no 6 to 8's in the forecast. I'll keep everyone informed.

 

[lpalma]

looks like they do not read them...

 

[digger]

Lew,
And so it goes.

 

[hydroharry]

Charlie - that's the wrong kit. It has the flat springs. Doesn't matter which side of those is up or down does it????

 

[digger]

Harry Harry Harry!
Do you honestly think that I would be that stupid!
The one on the left is 759-3490 and the one on the right is the 759-3489 with TWO springs.

I was showing Lew that they came with instructions!

 

[dschwandt]

I have an NOS dash for the 126 That I'm restoring. Now, should it be painted along with the hood when the time comes or does it get left natural NOS color and finish?

Thanks Guys!
