Hi all,
 
Thought I'd post up a picture of my new purchase, picked it up today and ended up buying a power hack saw, pillar drill and some other bits as well! It runs but does need a carb overhaul and a good service.

The Cub made it to Rural past times and all went well. I was very pleased as I was a bit worried it wasn't going to be ready. The engine runs sweet as a nut and the transmission drives well however I did notice that the axles were leaking which is a common problem on these as the axle seals going and also the bronze bushes wear. £15 got me both seals and bushes from a local bearing supplier which was much cheaper than genuine.
Axle carriers off:

 
Lots of old oil and dirt:

 

 
All cleaned up and ready to go back together:

 
All finished:

 
Tested it and no leaks and the axles are perfect now with no play, it is a lot better. The only thing left to do now is change the drive belt as it is quite perished and has a few cracks. I have to admit this Cub is by far my favourite tractor

Great photos guys, me and my dad really enjoyed our weekend and it was great to meet old and new faces! Weather was lovely even though we did struggle to use any of our attachments. A massive thanks to Chris for organising it all and it was nice to see a good turn out. Definitely count me in for next year

Looking forward to meeting you all, we are expecting to arrive at approximately 9pm Friday evening. See you all there

A bit late I know but you definitely want ags and in my personal I'd go with wheel weights, if it's a tractor that ploughs all the time then you can ballast them, but if you are doing other jobs such as mowing the good thing about wheel weights are that they are removable because you don't always want the weight. Just an idea. If you are struggling to find wheel weights John Deere make ones that fit the same rim as a wheel horse they are green but I'm sure you could spray then if it bother you that much! Let us know what you go for.

Hi all,
 
Thought I'd share what I've been up to in regards to getting ready for my first show as an exhibitor. I am taking my Cub cadet and Wheel horse 312-8 with a set of discs, a cultivator and a plough. First on the agenda was to get the cultivator and discs to fit the Cub.
 
Made this hitch:

 
Which resulted in this:

 

 
Needs a bit of refinement and a coat of yellow and we will be away. Still awaiting some bits for the Cub but I'm hopeful it will work out fine Next on the list is to hook up the plough to the 312-8..

You will have to pop round sometime Iain and have a go, the vari-drive system is very cool. You can also have a play with the lathe!

Thanks Andrew, I'm certainly pleased with it. I think that's it for me for a while now, I really must stop!!

I just can't stop, it's an addiction
