I found this metal piece today in a stone wall while I was working on my barn. What the heck is it?

Sim\'s cab use Today I had to move a lot of 1" pine boards from the back of the first floor of the barn. I wanted them up on the second floor out of the way. I didn't want to walk 50 feet with each board then lift them up to the second floor. Here is my solution to the problem. Boy these cabs...

Yesterday I bought a Delta 22-560 thickness planer on Ebay. This is the 12.5" x 6" one that sells for $300.00. I got it last minute at the reserve price of $150.00. With shipping it was 169.00 delivered. The gentleman bought it to do a project on his house and didn't need it anymore. I needed...

I just spent 2 hours on the net looking for a dozen 14mm x 1.5 x 60 hex head bolts for my Cub cadet. these are what I will need to install my rear wheel spacers when I get them. The best deal and only deal that I have found was to buy 80 bolts for $63.00 + shipping. they also sell 10 bolts for...

Does anyone know anything about these heaters or own one? I was thinking of buying one to heat the project barn so I can work on it during the winter. I just don't know if it will smoke me out or not. The building is 36x60 and 2 stories tall. TIA, Jim R.

I put one of my new 2 link ladder chains on this morning to see how it would fit. There is not enough clearance between the big fat turf tires and the rear fender bracket. I guess some wheel spacers and extended studs may be in order to cure this little problem. I only need 1/2-3/4" to clear the...

I have a new table saw that I am keeping over at the barn project. The problem is the top keeps trying to rust up on it. I have tried Turtle Wax and a Silicon based wax. Neither of them will keep the water out. What type should I be using? The manual says car wax. So much for that brainy idea...

Today we finished up the roof on the barn around noontime and quit for the day because it started to rain. I decided to start digging out the ground near the front of the barn to push the foundation wall back out where it belongs. It seems that my deceased father in law and probably his father...

After last weekends snow I have decided that my tractor really bites in the snow. Those turf tires in the rear just do not cut it. So I have decided to buy a set of chains for the Cub. The problem is that I have no clue as to what size chains fit these tires. The front are easy as the size is...

Friday nights snow was the first for this year in Ma. We got about 4" at my house. Saturday morning the wife and I were watching the news when we noticed flashing lights out in front of our house. Lo and behold there was the first idiot of the season to run off the road in the snow. I say idiot...

I bought my Cub 7275 back in March. I have always thought that the little battery was quite insufficient for the tractor, especially when it is cold out. Now that the cold season is upon us in full swing, I decided the battery was too small as the starter seems to be straining to start my...

I found this one on Ebay today. Boy could someone have some fun with this buggy. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4502211424&category=6737&sspagename=WDVW

I found a new use for the FEL on my Cub 3275. We have a nice section of cultivated Concord grapes growing at the farm that my father in law planted years ago. Unfortunately they are out of reach and a ladder will not do as the vines are all thru a large apple tree and other small trees nearby. I...

This week we got to put in quite a few new beams using a Lull as a lift. The first floor is done except for the flooring that I am waiting for. Tomorrow the outside beams will be put in place. I can't wait till this project is finished so I can keep my Cub in there. All the new (33 of them)...

I know there has to be a few oil techies out here. I took my oil-fired model 368 Weil-McLain boiler apart today to clean it out. The combustion chamber liner was cracked and a total mess. I am going to replace the 3 piece liner this week My question is, what type of adhesive do you use to hold...

I found one of these saws locally. It has the Biesemeyer fence on it. It has a Dayton 1.5 hp motor. The saw is used and works fine. The underside is very tight and I found no loose bushings or anything else on it. Does anyone know when these were made and what it is worth? It could use a nice...

3 weeks ago I snapped a new Woods belt on my 72" Woods mower deck. The break was a nice staright snap. The belt showed no signs of wear or tearing, just the break. The new belt had 7-9 hours on it tops. I sent the belt back to Woods for a free replacement. They have a one year warranty on belts...

FEL\'s make good motor pulling hoists Saturday was change my truck's engine day. I decided to put in a new motor as the Chevy 4.3 was was getting tired. Instead of cleaning out my garage to use my chain fall. I decided to use the Cub 7275 to do the job. There is also much more room in the...

Last week I was doing some site work for a friend using my 6 foot KK grader blade. I was backing up when my friend asked if I knew my bracket was cracked. Here is a nice shot of it. There is also another split near the bottom on the left that goes around the left side unde the frame. Both sides...

Does anyone know what a 16 foot 12" high by 4" wide I beam would weight? TIA

To throw away? I needed some FEL stands to hold my loader up with. That old bed frame came in quite handy today. The wife always wonders why I don't throw anything away.

The FEL on my Cub 7275 drops real quick when lowered. So quick that if you are not careful it will scare the heck out of anyone near it. Is there an adjustment to slow this down a bit? The FEL does drop slower when the lever is pushed all the way to the float position.

Rebuilding an 1840\'s barn Here is the first shot of the rebuild. I will post more as we progress on it. In the last two days we removed the rafters and all but the first bay center floor. The real fun starts with the side wall removal without taking out the front wall. That wall will be...

Where to buy a Woods 72\" MMM drive belt?? The drive belt on my 72" Woods MMM finally blew apart. I have looked locally with no luck. I do have one on order. I don't know when it will arrive. Is there any website that carries belts for these mowers. It is a double V or Diamond belt. It drives...

I was ripping logs with this saw today when it quit on me while idleing. The spark was very weak so I replaced the coil and spark plug. Now I have a nice sharp spark and it will not run. It feels like something is dragging inside the motor. I pulled the chain and bar off and it will not start...

I picked these up from Northern Tool for $17.99 each, shipped for free. You may wonder why I bought two of these. Reason being, I am tired of balancing logs and spinning them around with my non-swivel tongs that I presently use. This will allow me to hook these on at each end of my bucket chain...

You guys are going to love this one. My new (used) trailer had a tire with a slow leak. Tonight I pulled the tire to find the leak was at the beads and rim. It was too late to bring it anywhere to have the beads broke and rim cleaned. My tractor was sitting right there looking at me. That tooth...

I bought these on Ebay today. The boat is 24 feet long and needs to be restored. I bought it for the trailer which is in pretty decent shape. The trailer is a flatbed design with built up bunks to hold the boat. The boat was free. I lucked out with it being only 4 miles from my house. Now to see...

Has anyone done this? Where did you find the plans. I can get 2 trailer axles 5K for $200.00 with brakes. Is it worth it to make my own 18 foot trailer? I really can't afford to buy one right now. How about converting a boat trailer to a flatbed? Has anyone done this? TIA.

Can you run both PTO\'s at once? My Cub is my first tractor with 2 PTO's. So I am wondering if both can be run at once? I have a 72" MMM and was thinking of buying a rear brush hog mower deck for knocking down the edges of my fields while I mow.

Where\'s the cheapest place to buy a B&S starter? My 18 hp TwinII Briggs&Stratton blew the starter windings today. It is almost 10 years old. Anyone know the cheapest place to find a new starter for it?

Yesterday I put a new set of hardened blades on my Woods 6' MMM. I figured that I should at least try it out to see how it works. I can honestly say that it does mow 6-8" grass with no hesitation. The only problem was that I was cutting a new area. My farmer friend use to brush hog this for me...

I need some pictures of the stands that are used for the 7275 FEL when removed. There is a decal on my tractor that tells how to use them. I do not have a set for holding up the FEL when it is removed from the tractor. I can however make a set of them. I would just like to have an idea of what...

I put my new TSC 6' box blade to work yesterday finally. What a thrill to see what this unit can do. I tore right though 1"-1 1/2" roots with it and leveled off part of my logging road to my 36 acre woodlot. Sure beats the heck out of useing the grader blade or loader.

I have been so busy using this machine that I have yet to clean it up. I have put over 20 hours on it since I got it. This next winter will get it looking decent. I will be tearing it down for some new paint and whatever else needs to be done to it. I sure don't miss the clutch pedal or brakes...

I am going to TSC tomorrow. Do they carry filters for Cub Cadet's and what else can I find there? I would like to get a set of teeth for my bucket and who knows what else while I'm there.

Here is a little info that may save some of you a few dollars if you use your 4wd tractor a lot or plan to keep it for many years. Sunday I was tearing into my recently purchased used 7275 Cub Cadet . I decided to pull the somewhat tight front driveshaft out to lube up the splines as they were...

Today I called my local tractor/farm supply for a 6 foot KK box blade. This unit sells at TSC for $368.52. My local farm store quoted me a price of (sit down for this one) $699.00. I had all I could do to keep from laughing at him. The nearest TSC store is 131 miles away. I think for that price...

I see that the link posting of dogbegonecom was not to some folks liking here. I will apologize for putting it up. There is one thing that bothers me though. If you do not like these type of things, why did you open it? It was very obvious what the site was by the name of it. I do feel for the...

Price on 5\' Land Pride Box Blade???? Can someone tell me what these cost? Is $400.00 a good price for a used one?

Does anyone make a parts CD for this tractor. My dealer has problems finding parts due to the way Cub has set up the parts list. I figure I can save both of us a lot of time if I know what I need before I call them up.

Has anyone ever loaded their own tires? What did you put in them Calcium, antifreeze, etc?????. Where did you get a pump to fill them or did you make one?

After many calls in the last week and a half, my tractor showed up tonight at 9:00pm. The dealer has two guys out for medical reasons and was extremely buried with work. He hired a pool company to deliver the Cub. I needed the tractor for this weekend. They got lost coming from from VT. No easy...

Do you wear them on your tractor? I had a Ford 8N for over 20 years. I flipped it twice doing nutty things in my younger days. Like flying around the house with a bucket of mud (slanted backyard). I'm sure that I would have been pretty hurt if I was wearing a belt. Both ties I launched myself...

The wife and I decided a new tractor was out of the question. So off I went in search again today for a used one. I decided to head to Walt's place up in Berlin Vermont seeing how I was going to be 20 minutes from there this morning. I took his 1995 Cub 7275 for a spin and had some fun with it...

It is a 1993. The tractor has 650 hours on it. A 6' finish mower comes with it. Guys asking 10.2K. It is a hydro tranny 4WD w/7108 FEL. I think that may be high, but do not know. It is a private sale.

Does anyone have a picture of one of these tractors? Is it the same as the 7275?

Here it is. 1995 with 7.5 hoe, 50% front, 80% rear tires. Hydro trans. New starter. Hours are 1200, price is just under $10K.
