Richard T.,

An exquisite restoration on your Cub! A beautiful tractor indeed! And I like that cool ignition system too.

Art, I think I'm a Cubaholic, I always seem to capitalize the O when I type Original.....

How do you get more speed out of your tractor? I have a 782D I just restored and runs great and moves good, but seems slower than it should be. I remember them going a lot faster. I have a 782 gas and that thing moves! Just wondering if there is a simple adjutemnt that I need to do, or if that is just the way it is.

Taller tires!

Nate - Bigger hand on the throttle !
Bigger pump
Bigger injectors
Turbo

... and if Charlie would let go of the rear hitch while you're tryin to steal his 782D it'd go a lot faster

Nate:

If your HyTran fluid is low, this can cause the same symptom. Also, your Hydro Filter may be partially plugged. This may need replacing to ensure a full flow of HyTran.

In addition, check your control linkages to see if they engage the Damper Plate (Item #1) and Cam Plate (Item #9) with a full movement.

Richard: Love that restoration job! All Cubbies are great but taking an old workhorse and making him or (her) look new makes a old man drool.

Thought I'd post a few pictures of the front weight bracket I made for the 169 awhile back....
<font size="-2">Sorry dial-uppers....</font>

First I tacked some straight sections onto the mule drive of my tiller...

Then a piece of angle to them...

After test fitting a weight, I knew I was going to need to add some thickness to the angle...

So I added a piece of round-stock. Here it is before cutting it down to fit. You can see how the weight doesn't tilt down anymore, and it actually is tight enough that it doesn't move around either.

Finally, I added a piece of diamond plate to top it off and hold the weights in there. Here it is with a couple weights missing so you can see the detail..

And here it is with all of the weights in place..

Art, nice job on the weight bracket!

 

[vthomley]

Art,
You do good work, go ahead and make another for my 149...

Nice painted up weights !!!

 

[nblack]

Art,
I agree. those are be-u-tif-ul!
Someday I need to either fab or buy a rear weight box, as my typical Eastern TN yard is near vertical in places..... (my weight doesn't count much)
