Thanks for the compliments guys!
It was a smoke belching, hydro jumping, Cat Yellow brush painted workhorse. It will get a 50" deck with Gators next spring and will back up the off topic tractors. Easy life!

I added a pump and ran it off the front PTO, oil tank is mounted to additonal framework on the rear of the tractor.
If you look close you can see the hydraulic pump hoses leading up to the pump.
I will try and get beter photos if you need them.

Noel,
I bought a 122 with a Kwik-Way Loader. I've had to replace almost all the hydraulic parts.
Most of them I found at Surplus Center in Lincoln, NE. (Thanks to Terry Busch)

I really like the Prince loader valve and found it at Northern Tool:

If you scroll down at bit on this webpage, you see my improved CC digging out a Lilac bush.

Best of Luck!

Jerry H - The 149 looks great. Looks like the stock tread pattern on the rears. Post more shots.
Vincent - Is that the same 122 in all of the pics? I didn't realize the angle of the headlight effects the direction of the beam.

Jerry, very nice job on that cub, looks good as new! Its amazing that a 30+ yr tractor can come back to its original glory for that amount of $$. If you went to Lowes or somewhere else to buy a plowing,tilling,mowing etc etc tractor it would be 3 x that price and never last for 30+ yrs. I guess thats why we love these tough machines.
Last?? hehe prolly not cause I want to be

Early saterday afternoon Charlie posted some words about getting ready for the up comming snow season.
Well if you look close in the last photo you can see the front of the snowthrower attached to my 127 awaiting for the white stuff to plie up.
It was put on the 127 the last time the temps around thses parts was in the low 80's.

Question on plow setup.
The following pictures show the plow setup on my 149. I set the plow first by the method seen below in the garage. Left side up 5" high. The landside was set to about 1" off the floor. The photo shows about 3" after field adjustments to improve depth.
The problem seems that the plow does not go deep enough. The landside is often up out of the furrow, as seen below.
The plow does OK in the garden, as soon as I hit sod in the lawn the plow stops digging deep. The landside ends up out like the picture above. There after it tracks poorly and the furrow is not straight.
Curved furrow in lawn:
Sraight furrow in garden:
Hitch info:
I made the 3 pt. hitch my self (except bar to rock shaft/lift cylinder. Also made the sleeve hitch. The lift is locked and not floating.
What have I done wrong here??? or is this to be expected trying to plow sod?
Any help is welcome and appreciated.
Jim

In your 3rd photo you have way to much point.
I see no float slot it the lift straps.
Is the point inline with the plow beam?
Remove the colter if the sod is hard pack, it will hold the plow out of the ground (BTDT)

Adjust that land down to where it's about 1/2" to 3/4" off the floor.
