Hey Bryan,
Hot e'nuf for ya'?? My guage says 100. Yikes!!!

Anyone make it to RPRU? Hows about some pix?

OK, I finally got the right date for Freeport. Featuring "Greenines" this year. Who's goin'?

(p.s., If it's like this, I think the Dear John guys will be turning "Red")

Tom -

Remote says 96 and 8% on the west end of the house, under all the shade. I don't even wanna know what it is in the sun!

When I stopped by my parent's condo, there were folks that HAD THEIR WINDOWS OPEN!!

From my research and help from Terry, a power steering pump won't work.
I got this on ebay:
http://i23.ebayimg.com/02/i/04/88/99/51_1_b.JPG
I have a 125 (narrow frame) and not a 1650, but I figured the deal was alright and could make the stuff work.

I want to install the pump on the right hand side of the battery on the outside. So it will need to spin ccw, I'm think. (right?)

Will this pump work?

Disp. 0.2 In³/Rev.
PSI 2,000 Max.
RPM 4,000 Max.
1.4 GPM @ 1,800 RPM
3.1 GPM @ 4,000 RPM Max.
Rotation CCW

Haban Cycle Question. I am in the process of restoring one to put on my 102. I have it apart and need several parts and have a paint question.

First..What color of red was used on the Haban cycle mower?
Second. Does anybody have a part number for the roller bearing in the linkage to the cycle bar? I need to replace the roller bearing...it is too rusted to salvage...
Third...Is there a cross to other mowers that use the same cycle bar cutters, bolts and the under side guides/cutters?
Mine are usable, but would like to repalce with new for looks.

Well I thought my day was pretty good since I got this for 5 bucks,

Then it just kept gettin better the longer I stood out in the freakin heat!
One owner, deck was used maybe 5 times.

Not a bad day all in all.

Charlie
You wanta be careful, those Red ones are kinda powerful and you're used to the Yellow ones.

 

[bmcmeen]

Sad but true...

Richard C.
I had some practice already with those RED things. I brought one home a while back.

Bryan,
Not true up this way, Corn,peas and beans are better than in the last 10 years.
And the freakin rain keeps comin!

 

[digger]

Maybe some of this will head your way! I hope so, sigh!

 

[digger]

BTW,
I do have to thank Hugh Simons daughter for steppin on his toe just about the time the bidding started today!!!!

 

[thoffman]

Charlie,
What model is that, a 169?

 

[gerickson]

Tom, I'll be at Freeport on Saturday. I'm gonna bring the 1000 and maybe the B.

 

[digger]

Another crappy 149 Tom, sigh!!!!!!!!!

 

[tcbusch]

Charlie,
Is that a battery box hanging out the back? If so why? Just curious.

 

[hsimon]

Charlie- ya can drop that pedal tractor off at my folks place for Marti doing ya a favor today. My hand was itching to jump up and bump ya a couple times. Think the auctioneer needs to go back to auction school and learn how to speed things up at the sale never have I seen them "hunt" for that last $$ like they where.

 

[tturner]

Charlie- you sound dissappointed, if you want you could dump it off at my place.

I was stupid and passed up a 149 in great shape the other day... But, I said college fund, and walked away.

 

[digger]

Terry B,
It's an IH weight box chuck full of ingot weight with car battery settin on top.

Hugh,
Uhh-uhhhh! I think my grandson might have somethin to say about that! I bought one of them a new on last year and the other one said he wanted one that was already broke in, LOL

Tyler T,
Yea I am a little disappointed, 149's are not my favorite tractor. I might have to switch that cab over to the 1650.

I've been looking theough the archives for a picture that I'm beginning to think I just imagined seeing. It was of what looked like a Farmall Cub that was Cub Cadet sized. It was from a plow day (probably in 2003 or 2004 as I was looking at it this time last year and I think it was in the archives then) and was red. I remember thinking that it was weird that the operators feet were so close to the front axle. Anyone remember anything like that being posted?
