Last year the 1450 was first out the door,

This year, I'm thinkin BIG SNOW, so the 149 is first our the gate.

Well that and I had to make room for the 782D in the back.

I had to move the 169 out to the other shed for the winter.

Ryan,
Ummmm, yea!

But ya can't have'um!

 

[digger]

Say,
Does anyone know what these Cat.0 arms fit?
I found'um in the garage today and don't have a clue.

Charlie, are those NOS IH chains? How much do you want for them?

Donald - I've not seen a Norton for some years now. Buddy of mine had a 750 Commando and an 850. He got on a Yamaha to ride it to Ohio and 'bout went over the front when he hit the brake and it down shifted way down

Ryan - Weight box ? I could have swore it was a Port-a-Pottie ... looks like a hole in the top

You're in Charlie's league now buying that as cheap as that

 

[digger]

Ryan,
You shoulda read my entire post, cause down at the bottom, it says this,
But ya can't have'um!

Ryan didn't read the fine print

Hauled some more logs today. I decided to calculate the weight of the first one in the first picture. Its roughly an average of 14" in diameter and its roughly 7' long. The density of Box Elder, Maple, Ash, etc are all around 50 pounds per cubic foot. The log is roughly 7 cubic feet. That calculates to 375 lbs. It didn't even lighten the rear wheels, no spinning, so that weight sounds about right.
Sure beats cutting it up in the field and loading the trailer by hand. I didn't even break a sweat.

KENtucky, I never thought of that, it does look like a port-a-pottie, mabey there's a reason someone put sand in it! I might not want to find out what's underneath all that sand!

Terry how many hours did it take get it all put together. Is there anything you would change? I think A cadloader would look great on my 129 project.

Hi all, its realy nasty up here with that rain and wind.Terry Busch (Tcbusch) it would be nice if you posted how that grapel works.a picture answers soo many questions lol
later Don

 

[digger]

Don T.
Do a search for the word grapple, and you'll see everything Terry did while building it.

James M.
Two things,
Take your caps lock off and pics would be nice, especially since we have no idea what kind of rear blade your wanting to build.

Ryan- That 1250, if I were u I would not touch it if it smokes & runs bad. I have a fix for that sort of a problem down here (Kentuck knows what that is). Just unbolt the snow thrower & lift that off your trailer. Then send me a GPS fix of the back end of the trailer, & I'll have a friend here with a post hole digger put a hole there for you to tip in to. You get your $175 worth with the snow thrower (even in US$ I reckon), & I would have probly the only 1250 in OZ&NZ.

Hi, all. I've got a problem with the center spindle on my early style mower deck. This is the deck where the spindle housings are integral with the cast pieces of the deck. Problem was, the dual pulley had about 15°of play relative to the main blade.

When I tore it down, I found that the upper portion of the spindle had split along the woodruff slot and the whole end of the spindle was mushroomed out. Had to grind the upper part of the spindle down before I could even drive things apart.

So I've been keeping my eye on ebay looking for a replacement spindle. But so far, I've only seen spindles from the later decks (68-71). These are the ones that bolt on separately from the big castings:

So here's my question: Does anyone know if the 63-68 and 68-71 spindles are interchangable? I checked the parts look-up, and found that all the parts that they work with (bearings, seals, spacers, pulleys) are identical between the two styles. But the spindles themselves have different part numbers (473436 vs. 489389). I'm a little concerned that IH might have changed the diameter of the cups or something.

Anyone know if I can use the 68-71 spindles on an early deck?
