Regarding the filter, I used a NAPA 1084, which I had read somewhere was a cross for the IH Cub Cadet original part. If anyone has any additional info (brand, uses, etc) on the attachments I'd love to learn about them. It was handed down to his son when he passed, who sold it to me.Īside from the loader and Gannon Earthcavator, it also came with a Disc Harrow and a cultivator(?) attachment. He retired when he sold the farm and all of his equipment. I was told by the son of the farmer he grew strawberries. Mine was used on a small farm on the property that is now Disney's California Adventure Park, an extension of Disneyland in Anaheim. Cub Cadets are very few and far between here in Southern California. Can I get on an announcement list, if you have one. I'm looking forward to the next installments. I saw your video on your 147 project, played it thru 3 times! Great job! Its vary fortuitous for me and my cub project. Thanks for any advice you might offer or perhaps you can direct me to a section on the site where this has been covered. These cubs are very cool and I'd be very disappointed if its not designed for the task I have in mind. Its steep, yes, but only about 30 feet or so, the rest is 0-12 degrees. Once processed by the horses I'd like to bring the hay back down the hill as well. Like I said, this is my first tractor.am I expecting too much? I was hoping to carry (or tow) bales of hay up the hill where we keep horses. It also seems like I'm pushing exceedingly hard on the transmission lever trying to keep it engaged, its touching (or nearly touching) the steering column. I can use both hands to keep them full, but with no hands on the steering wheel this leads to some interesting moments as I try to climb up the hill. Both the transmission lever and the throttle seem to like to drift to their respective middle ranges. While I had the diff cover off i added a oil level sight glass.Ĭhanging the oil and filter seems to have had no effect on the transmissions ability to get up the hill, it seems to be slipping. It did not have any signs of water, or other debris in the differential, but I did find half of a 1/4" star washer. Next I changed the filter and replaced all the hytran. This reduced the whining but didn't do much for the slipping. The transmission was about 3 quarts low, so I filled it with HyTran. The transmission seamed to whine very loudly and I had trouble getting up my steep 18 degree path. With the steering working I took it on its first real test drive. I still need to lube the chassis and replace the wiring before I get into the cosmetics. I've sense rebuilt the steering system, replaced the carb, throttle cable, battery and am in the process of adding a filter to the Danco Loader. I bought her with the Ross steering gear in pieces and quite literally in a basket. I'm a city boy, but am very willing to learn. I'm restoring a 147, which is presenting many challenges.very foreign to me as this is my first tractor. I'm new to Cub Cadet's and this is only my second post, and let me apologize right at the top for being long winded.
