Looks like they were included with the CW36 snowthrower and they were installed like "BFH" did AND with the slotted truss head screws.

Kraig - That wuz "BFH"

... and he didn't install it backwards as your 11:35am post clarifies. His mount just wasn't as big .

KENtucky, I'm ahead of you, go back and reread my post on the archived page.

<font size="-2">Yeah, "BFM" is a company that I'm part owner of, we own the building that we work in......, I corrected my posts.</font>

I'll bet that picture is what started the whole "interfere with the steering" idea. That sticks out a whole lot further than a bolt in a mule drive would.

In attaching such a blade to a non-QA tractor, I would go with a hunk of 1/2" rod and 2 pins...

Question, do I have the left side mule drive hangar where it is supposed to go.... up against the "pipe" and hangar with the spring? When the old 1/2" hangar rod broke a couple years back I opted not to drill for cotter pins in the shaft as that is where it broke so I'm making "pipe" spacers for either side of the pulley hangars.

Oh yea, day three on trying to get the steering wheel off. Maybe I need a bigger hammer...

 

[kmcconaughey]

Richard, looks correct to me.

 

[rtunison]

Thanks Kraig, just what I needed to know/see.

Richard T.,
What are you spraying on your steering wheel attaching nut to loosen it?

I had a time removing a steering wheel from an old 125 a few months back. I applied KROIL every day and as i recall, it took OVER A WEEK for it to finally come loose. Yep, I was using the same method as you are - with the big fine-threaded 5/8" bolt method as delineated in FAQ #13....

Have patience,,,,,,,it'll come off.

Ryan, PB blaster..... and on the third whack this afternon we had lift off.

The pipe spacer mod. to avoid drilling holes in the shaft where the forces of tension are and the steering wheel detached from the Cub.

I'll take the mule drive components apart tonight and prep. everything for the paint that hopefully comes in on Thurs. so I can get this worker back to grass duty.

I was cleaning some grease off rims the other day and tried several different cleaners. This stuff (ZEP) sure out performed everything else, including simple green.

The only thing that picture lacks is the formula for the stuff written on the now classic cardboard in the backround.

Sneak peek of what's to come:
New 284 style nose cone...

and the paint thus far reassembly begins, man it is hard to not hurt the soft paint (even when dry...)

oh, and Charlie's screwdriver to the release valve worked great (bailing wire worked too...)

 

[mgonitzke]

Please tell me you have the ports on that lift cylinder capped off...
Are you going to change the grille insert in any way? To me the redundant IH emblems look a bit strange, but maybe that's just me.

 

[gcoleman]

I have a grille that goes over it

Hello
I've got an oil leak at the front of my 782 with an 18hp Kohler Magnum over on the left side(if faceing the front).Is there any common problem I should look for? Thanks

 

[digger]

James,
Others are thinkin it, so I'll say it.
Have you looked around to see where it might be coming from, specifically?

 

[agitch]

James could be you just have a loose oil line.

 

[kweaver]

naw I wuz a thinkin he neads ta git sum kitty kat litter an putt under et

 

[aaytay]

James-
It could be the oil filter lines...

They have a tendancy to weep oil right through the lines themselves after a few years.
