CUB CADET PLOW DAY 17 April 4th

[tschweizer]

I'm going to take a tractor out this afternoon and check the field. If it is ok this afternoon, plowday will be a go. I will post later....

Terry, the river is WAAAY down. In fact, Dad has been out in it with an excavator for the last week. lol

 

[tschweizer]

Here's the latest with Plowday. I went out and plowed a couple rounds today and the field is in great shape.

I'm going to go ahead with this Saturday, the 4th. There's a lot of people already on the way. Everyone has access to the same forecast I do and can make they're own decision based on the weather.

[mcaruth]

best news I've heard for weeks, I'm ready to load er' up!

 

[jlang]

I'll see you guys tomorrow afternoon with my green one!

I don't have time to get the yellow &^ White one out to bring tomorrow. I was hoping for a rain delay!

I could have brought 3 loads on the 18th!

And my wife & our good looking friend that was there in 07 said they could come with me on the 18th!

Oh well, We'll have fun tomorrow!

Its been a long winter, hope everyone is ready to roll some dirt like I am - see everyone there!!! Thanks in advance to Travis and everyonne involved.

We are almost ready!

The 104 will make its return to the Iowa Plow Day!

Last night I mde the 104 roller into a mean plow pulling machine. I installed the motor, battery, clutch and driveshaft, shifter, rear lift, spring assist, fenders, AGs, weights, different throttle cable and assy, and it started at 10:30pm!
This morning I pulled my 7x14 trailer around, it needs a little clutch-brake linkage adjustment but it is close to being ready!

Yes I took a few pictures! And I brought the camera to work with me today however I don't have a cable to load them into my computer.

On th enext page there is a picture of this 104 in Iowa 3 or 4 years ago. Art bought it for the PTO Rear, then I paid a huge price for rest of it... I even left a bit of the Hand Clutch on the pedal.

Tonight I will get the 122 ready, I think I can now take the snow plow off it.

 

[vthomley]

The 104 on it last trip to the Iowa Plow Day, it will look a bit better tomorrow, although it was slapped together with rattle can paint and maybe someone hurried too much...

Vince-
All I know is that it ran great with no noises or smoke when I owned it.

 

[vthomley]

Art, come on, look at the engine you had, it certainly made noise, not sure if it even ran very well...just kidding!

Here it was yesterday at about 2pm after I put the shifter in, I traded a crappy old worn out one for this, thanks Art.

Here's the Ags, plus the 122 is patiently waiting... It will be ready tonight.

The 10hp Motor, this is a temporary motor for this 104, it is from the 100 with the Front End Loader that my dad bought from Travis last year at Plow Day in Iowa. It will return to the 100 in the near future.

Here it is at 10:30pm after I messed with it. I took 3 hours off to watch my son play Baseball, his 1st HS Varsity game and he was the starting pitcher!

 

[vthomley]

Ah, I missed a pic, tomorrow the plow will try to slow this tractor down...

Hey the 100 w/FEL in the background, plus my son Andrew's sled.

 

[aaytay]

Vince-
Wow, that is pretty impressive to say the least!

By the way, now that you have the engine out of the loader, it is the PERFECT time to sell me the loader!

 

[rthomley]

Art, actually same day we got the loader home, we took out the 10 HP and dropped a a12 into it. Over the winter I disassembled the 10 hp and completely went through it. We just "checking" it out with the plowing to see how it runs before going back into the loader. An awful lot to work in a very tight space, so don't want to change engines very often.
Interested in buying it eh?? Gosh Vince used it more that I do. Hmmmm, for the right price, everythings for sale. What say Vince?
Gotto go, Am loaded here with the 72, and 1000, and nearly forgot the plows!! Wow that would be embarrassing!

 

[rthomley]

Just checked the weather, Wow, maybe should keep the snow plow on the 122. We might have to use it to clear the highway to get home!!

 

[vthomley]

Ah, no problem with the ride home, we will just follow that big Suburban from Hudson!
