Don't mean to be a pest, but I'm still lookin' for help on my post from Saturday...


Hello everyone. It's been an extremely long time since I posted here. My new all-consuming hobby is motorcycles, so my '73 128 has simply been workin' hard to maximize the seat time on my "other" machine.

What I wanted to ask is this:

I own a 128 with the 44" deck. The belt from the PTO to the deck broke at the end of the last season. I need the replacement P/N, but I would also like to know some cross-reference #s for non-OEM alternatives. I searched the forum first, but couldn't locate what I was looking for. TIA

Thanks Tom. I truly appreciate it! Are there any alternatives to the OEM belt, or is this the only thing available?

 

[thoffman]

Greg "B",
Don't know of the cross overs, just whats in CPE-2.

Greg,

That belt is 3/8 by 78 inches I believe

Got this sweet little "Zig" today from the 2nd owner! Bought it used in "68 from the local IH dealer. Kinda' like the "Little old Lady from Pasadina(sp)".

Tom-
Nice 71! I wish I could find one like that, finding 7hp Cubs is pretty hard anymore.


BIG air cleaner is about to make the conversion to "precleaner" for the project tractor. This was the housing that soaked in lye for 2 days with absolutely nothing happening to the paint, then all came off in 20 minutes with Loctite Chisel Gasket Remover.

Calvin-With the head off, pound the valve back down with a plastic mallet. Spray PB Blaster down the guide first or on as much of the stem as you can. Roll the engine over by hand to get it to come back up,it may take some nudging. Repeat several times until the spring pressure operates the valve correctly.

Wyatt -

Is Travis paying you for "product placement"?

Hank-
Fantastic pictures, thanks for sharing! BTW...Great article in Farm Collector!

Rand-
Welcome to the forum. Yea, Kraig's a little slow on the uptake sometimes. Keep buggin him...He usually goes by the 20-messages rule. <font size="-2">(Send him 20 messages and you'll usually get a response by then....)</font>

Oh, and don't forget to have Mrs. Rand look at the quote in my profile...

Tom-
That's a NICE 71! Sure is a far cry from Bullit!

Demo of Duce-
Any chance of getting a link on the "Plow Days" section for the WFM date on the 24th? "Mr. Snappy" will be there, so I'm just trying to saving you from a headache later...

Hank-
Which one's Scott?

Will the 3-point casting and linkage from a 123 fit and work on a 126?

Lonnie-
In a word, YES, but you'll need the horseshoe bracket to make it work.
