Thanks Steve,

Guess you've convinced me on using the remote. Unfortunately, the bracket on mine has a piece broken where the bolt attaches, looking for a good one. My hoses look okay, though. Where does it mount on the firewall?

Mike, Bubba, and Brad,
Any pix of todays "Dirt Job"?

Tom, Brad took video,don't know about pics. Great day overall. Mike's Case 644 can dig and move a lot of dirt. We moved about two tandem loads of dirt with Mike's 147 and 1512 with carts on them. There was some grain enhanced water breaks too. Mike was filling in a pool area near his house from a pile by his shop.

I like that phrase "Grain enhanced"

Hi guys.
I have an electric mower deck lift. There is a large bearing inside that is seized. Any idea where i can get a replacement?
it is a Federal 1204FF bearing.

Barry B,
If it's just seized, why not unseize it?

Those gears are scarce has hens teeth these days.

 

[tcbusch]

Barry,
You can get those at NAPA if you have one where you live.

Click Here to see the Napa listing

Barry B:

First, Welcome to the forum.

Here is a Cross Reference Chart for the 1204-FF.
The "FF" indicates the bearing has sheilds on each end.

BTW...If you need the Gears...I know where you can get them.

I'd like to remind those living in the Southern Wisconsin/Northern Illinois area that the Freeport, IL tractor show is July 28-30. IH is the featured brand this year. This should attract quite a few interesting pieces of machinery. If you bring something to display at the show (Even an IH Cub Cadet) you get in for free. I'll be taking 2 Cubs to show and a couple that I'd like to leave without. Any of the usual crowd coming this year?

 

[thoffman]

I'll be there!! Should be real colse to what a RED POWER ROUND UP is if it's anthing like the last time IH was featured. Lots-0-Reds out in that area!!!

 

[mgonitzke]

Dang, Tom, that was fast- you just been waiting by the computer all day for someone to post?

 

[gerickson]

Matt, I'll be at Freeport too. Gonna bring a couple Cub Cadets, a B and a Farmall Cub. I am also hoping we have the 1206 there also.

TOM H....The Red Power Roundup will be in Madison, WI. in 2009. There is talk of a tractor ride THRU town......

The Freeport Steam Threshers Show is ALWAYS a good show...Expecially if You like Smoke....They have some really neat permanent displays too. Show is at the Stephenson Cty. Fairgrounds just east of Rt. 26 on the south side of Freeport..... And watch for Local Law Enforcement Officials on Rt. 20 between Freeport & Rockford. They are ALWAYS looking for donations...

KEN - I'm ALL Up for a ride down the BELTLINE on My Super H..... Son will be on the M....I think We'll leave the loaders at home..... Although Son did have a good idea a couple weeks ago...."A LOADER COUCH"....Dad has His 7 ft. wide snow bucket on His loader on the M....And Son wanted something with a bit more padding to soften the bouncing a bit...

 

[rmunday]

Dennis - isn't that at the same place/same weekend as the other Freeport show?

 

[dfrisk]

RICK - Only other "Show" I'm aware of in Freeport is the Stephenson Cty. Fair.. Which is different than the Steam Thresher's Assoc. Show.... there is a small dirt stockcar track just north of the fairgrounds that was running races on weekend evenings a couple years ago.

 

[cengelking]

Tom, Glen, Denny, Planning to see you at the Freeport show. I think Brad D. and Mark M. are coming too. I don't think were bring anything just cash to bring stuff home.

Anyone know of a cup holder I can attach to my '67 cub 124. i don't want to duct tape anything. I also would rather not put a plastic holder on my machine. I would like a cup holder that can do justice to my old iron.
