JOHN LANG - My Friends over at the RPM site steered Me into a company called "DAKOTA DIGITAL" that makes digital gauges that I hope to incorp. into My 72 when it begins it's next life... Since it's a gear drive I don't need a transmission temp gauge but I hope to have engine oil temp, cyl. head temp, and Exh. gas temp...and a tach.

Larry S.
Check the FAQ's for the paint type and just follow the directions on the can or from the guys you buy the paint from on what to put in it and how much.
I use this,

I bought "TOASTY" that way so I have no history on the atrocities committed by the P.O.....
However it was sold new by a friend of mines dad at his dealership {Stickers on hood }so hopefully can get original paperwork from them...Not sure if this will be a donor tractor for another 122 I have...Or if I am gonna Rebuild it from the ashes and return it to it's former glory...

On the canopy...I have the installation manual still in wrapper and was considering opening it to see EXACTLY how it mounts{other parts not in pics} and maybe scan the instructions for someone to put in the archives {or at least send a copy to someone who can be trusted not to lose them}
Any thoughts from the masses??

As someone else sayed I'm not crazy about the tassle thing either...{although it does match my pretty yellow sundress}
I hope I did'nt just think that out loud.....
Any more input to the fate of "toasty" or the canopt is welcomed.....KURT

Pics missing from yesterdays post with the rest of the mounting parts...

Dennis, That info should be very interesting for you to watch!

Kurt R. -

Our very own Kraig is the most trustworthy person I know when it comes to sending off rare documents for scanning. Many of us (myself included) have mailed piles of paper for archiving.

Of course, if you'd like to do the scanning yourself, he has a few rules on resolution, etc, to keep the archives consistent.

[tturner]

Thanks alot Digger, do you know what they used for a drive shaft. Thanks alot Tyler

 

[digger]

Tyler,
I have no idea, BUT, I'll betcha Kraig will fill us in when he gets here in the morning.

 

[digger]

Tyler,
I have to apologize to ya, I forgot today was saturday, Kraig prolly won't be on here till monday, sorry bout that.

 

[tcbusch]

Are those rear PTO shafts very common?
What drives the shaft? Does anyone have a parts blowup diagram?
Will the PTO shaft fit on a standard hydrostatic?
Can you disengage it?
Where would I find one?

 

[digger]

Terry B,
1. No
2. Gears

4. No
5. Handle
6. By searching and asking around.

 

[nbartee]

I would like to know if there is any difference between a JD 317 vs. a 682 KT17 engine? Will this engine out of a 317 drop into a 682 without any changes?

Thanks

Tyler and Charlie,
Keep in mind that the Cub Cadet PTO runs <<<<<<<backwards from conventional farm tractors>>>>>>>>. Even though it looks cool, I'm not too sure it really works/cuts.
