Postby PoorLoBoy » Tue Apr 21, 2009 3:57 pm

Howdy.
Just purchased a LoBoy 185 that looks pretty good and seems to run well. Lots of noise from the rear end however and it needs a few things I'm hoping the members here will kindly help me with.

It is equipped with a 60" Woods mower and should have a new rear PTO pulley as it has a chunk broken from it. Also needs a belt guard for the Woods mower Hydraulics work fine and engine starts and runs like it should. IT needs the mower engagement clutch and currently has a homebrew thing that must go IMO. I want it to be original so I need these parts. Any help at all is most welcome and appreciated. The S/N is (or appears to be) C 026311
Thanks in advance for the assistance.

ps - I also have a really fine Farmall Cub with a 4' mower and sickle bar unit.

Send an e-mail to hamiltonbob here on the forum. If he doesn't have one he will know where there is one. His e-mail is: rcn@zoomtown.com

Poorboy:

Welcome and congrats :applause: on the acqusition of the loboy. We have been adding Numbered Cub information to the server, and there is more coming. hamiltonbob is being added to the Used Parts Suppliers page on the server as well at the next upload.

First, Image to the greatest forum on the internet, and to the Cub Family. You will find that all the folks on this forum are kind, helpful and just full of Cub info and knowledge. They also happen to be the finest folks I have ever met :!: :D

The Welcome Wagon is a relatively brief introduction to the information that is currently available on Cub tractors, and answers many of the common questions new members ask right of the bat. Although it is a bit overwhelming :shock: , it has been designed to actually be copied to a Word Processor such as Microsoft Word (which preserves the active links), and saved to your desktop for easy reference at a later date or when you have a bit more time to read all the information contained in the links below. Please do so, enjoy and I hope this will be a useful aid in learning more about your New Cub Tractor :!: :D

Filling out your Image Profile is a real help. It just needs to be - State,City, County, a lot less than what is available in your local phone book. Knowing where you are will help in members offering to come help, when you are looking for parts - the area that would be useful to you etc., Also our CubFests, Mini-Fests or a simple KaffeeKlatsch/get together over coffee and a doughnut etc., to help each other benefits. Just a thought :!:

When adding signature lines to your profile, the use of animated or non-animated banners and large graphics files must be avoided. These files consume large amounts of bandwidth and cause slow page loading, especially for those forum members using dialup connections.

Ok, so here is the spiel Image:

I would suggest that you read this thread: New Members and Visitors, Please READ Prior to Posting. There are many great links to informative pages such as the ATIS FAQ's 1 and ATIS FAQ's 2, The Best of H.L. Chauvin who has written very interesting articles on troubleshooting common problems with your Cub. One of the other projects we have been working on and it will be a continuing effort is the The Cub Book of Knowledge. This the the place to go to get all the quick links to some very good articles written by many members of the forum on solving some of the problems we encounter as we repair, maintain and up-grade our Cubs. Keep looking for this to grow.


Also, you might want to visit the Cub Manual Server as there is tons of info on servicing, maintaining and re-building your Cub. In addition to this basic information, there are also a number of other useful tools available on the server. There is the Specialty Services page which has contact info for neat stuff like getting your seats recovered, buying quality Decals, Serial Number tags and a host of other neat items. Also there are the Parts Pages - both Used Parts Suppliers and New Parts Suppliers pages with links to quality dealers. I am always looking for YOUR favourite dealers for New and Used Parts to include here. These pages are intended to complement our Official FarmallCub.com Website Sponsors:I would also recommend that you visit Binder Books and purchase the three most important manuals you can own for Maintenance, Repair and Rebuilding your Cub. These are the Owner's Manual, the GSS-1411 Service Manual and the TC-37F Parts Manual. Although they are available on the Cub Manual Server, it is better if you also have your own paper copy. Binder Books is the only Authorized IH Publication Reprint House and they have the best quality manuals available. Most other's are not of the same quality. Just a personal thought here, the I&T Shop Manuals, although helpful in some areas, really are not sufficient for the job. If you wish though, they are good additional reference works.

IF you really want to get the skinny on all things Cub, might I suggest you get a copy of Ken Updike's Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet's :?: . While you are at it Original Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet is Ken's latest addition to the series. Along with Guy Fay's Letter Series Originality Guide, these are three must have's in anyone's collection.

In addition to the above information, don't forget to check out the various articles that are available to help with your Repair, Restore, Rebuild or just your Maintenance Projects. There are a number of sub pages such as Electrolysis or Rust Zapper's, Maintenance Tips, Jigs and Techniques, Implement and Part Sketches and of course the Paint, Decals & Other Finish Questions which has the Paint Chart and the Paint Committee Decisions links.

Oh, and while the program still lasts.. you might want to check the Announcement: Navistar Free Gas Cap Offer - On-Line Form thread at the top of the Cub Forum and send away for the new style safety cap before that program runs out as well. The program has been extended and no new definite end-date has been announced at this point. It is an extension only and may end rather quickly depending on available stocks. Please do take advantage of this offer and get the new safety caps :idea: :!:

I truly hope that you enjoy your Cub and that you will be a frequent contributor to the forum. Again, Image to the Cub FamilyImage :D

Welcome to the forum. You can also checkout hamiltonbob on ebay too. Just search for "154 cub" and a parts list will come up.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.

The answer to the Woods Mower question can be found here: OEM Implement and Attachment Manuals and following the links to : Woods Mower Manuals, then to: 59-LB Rotary Mower. To order parts, I would suggest that you check first with Ralph at Ralph's Cubs and if he doesn't have em, your next best bet would be to talk to Bermuda Ken Updike at Carter & Grunewald.


The same answer would apply to your Mower Clutch question.

Btw.. all of this was covered in the Welcome Wagon. Just needed to follow the links.... :wink: :D

You never asked any questions. You just stated the condition of the tractor you own. Even with this, three people pointed you to the person you need to talk with about getting the parts you think you might need.
There are a bunch of great folks here who will bend over backwards to get you the help and assistance you need, but none of us are mind readers! Ask a question, and you'll get some help.
BTW, you might also want to check out this Forum as well: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ihcubloboyseries/
Welcome to the Forum. Have fun and good luck with your tractor.
