Scott, here's a 1x6/7 headlight panel:

What size wheels and "Triple Rib" tires go on a wide frame (86-169)??? Shoot me an e-mail or talk to me here e-mail [email protected]

 

[stanner]

I believe the lights were added. There is one tail light, the other side is a reflector. It also has the rear horn option

.... I take it the hood isn't supposed to be like that... I'll get a picture. The block survived, but I think i'll throw the old 14 hp out of my 149 in it for now... The deck is better than the one on the 149, plus it has gage wheels. This machine will be my mower, the 149 will have the rear pto on it for tilling, etc..

Glen, they now make tri rib tires for either of the two size rims for a 1x8/9 Cub Cadet. Here's what they look like:

The above are for the wider rims.

The above are for the narrow rims.

Yesterday Roland posted the two rim/tire sizes.

Scott, sorry to say, a 14hp won't fit. (

Kraig:
I thought I might get a comment on the headlights on the 129 in the pics you reposted.. (88 Chevy pickup four light system low beams - perfect shape for the 1x9 surround)

 

[stanner]

Kraig..
DOH!
What can I say? I'm a wide frame guy... Flywheel too big around? I guess a new rod is in order...

 

[kmcconaughey]

Kendell, I hadn't noticed I was too busy looking at the cable tool setup. They do appear to fit nicely in the grill.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Scott, yep! The only narrow frame with a 14hp was the 147 which had flares in the frame to fit the 14hp.

 

[dfrisk]

KRAIG, SCOTT - There are OTHER ways to put a 14 HP into a NF. And they don't involve a welder...

David K,

The bottom lines of those who peddle the junk are mathematical proof of P.T. Barum's theorem.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Denny, would that be changing the flywheel and shroud to a 12hp version?

 

[tcbusch]

Does anyone else miss Charlie?

He better drive safe its going to storm up there!

 

[gcoleman]

STanner... what on earth do those measurements mean (1x8/9)in laymans terms... and where do I get the wider wheels and rib tires from??? I have the 16x6.50-8 tires on the front now... will those rims work for the tri ribs ??? Thanks Glen.

 

[bmcmeen]

Terry -

Ya know what I do when I miss Charlie? Reload and shoot again

 

[thoffman]

Jim "M",
Just take a punch and run it though the axle whole and give it a smack. Pretty simple.

Gettin' excited about PD!!!! Got the 23's on the back and ready to goooooo.

Hey Folks,

Just curious. Where is Charlie? Northern Wisconsin perhaps. Wonder if he makes house calls for annual check ups on 1650's for newbe tractor owners.

Rebuilt the front PTO (100) and put it back on. Set the distance of the wear button to the thrust button. When I engage the wear button the PTO doesn't stop. Not sure what I am doing wrong. HELP..Joe

 

[stanner]

I think the oil fill would be in the way, also... would the flywheel swap work?

glen... ya got the wrong guy...

 

[stanner]

Glen... brain fart here... 1x8/9 means models of cub, wide frame where the x denotes hp.. 149 would be a 14hp hydro... check the FAQ section, I'm sure there is model # 101 topic...
