We hope you all can make it to the Bash. May 29, 30 and 31. It's hard to believe we've been at it this long. We plan on working on your Cub, telling great stories, givig good Cub advice and sitting around the evening fire. Make your hotel reservations now or bring your camper for one of our limited electric hook ups. We do not have water or sewage hook ups.

Plenty of room to drop your trailer so you can go to the hotel.
 
Bill, Pencil in Ms Connie and me. No hookup needed. Looking forward to the bash after missing several years.

Bill, I am hoping to do a rear split on one of my '55 cubs to (probably) replace front and rear bearings and leaky front transmission seal. I have new bearings, spare used gears and an entire spare transmission, if needed. Maybe the experts can find whatever is causing "loose/floppy noise" with clutch pedal depressed. The noise level is "normal cub noise" while mowing...it just seems like the spline shaft is "loose" in the front & rear bearings while in neutral. I need some good diagnostics!!😉

I also have a right axle leak...thinking the RH rear axle nut oil seal, and maybe the O-ring. I'm hoping that it will be a rather quick & easy fix, EXCEPT that I have a fast hitch with belly mower (yours!) mounted! 😣😖

Anyway, I hope to be able to park inside in a quiet corner, since you know how slow I can be!!

I plan to stop by Danny Stone's in KY and pick up a spare final & a couple other small items for another cub, so let me know if you need something from him. I plan to arrive a tad early, so I can help you set things up (hide tools!) ...maybe midday Wednesday. If you need more help, I can be there a day earlier.

Looking forward to another great Bash!
 
At Cubbrian's request, I'll be bringing my tire tools along. If anyone is wanting to replace tubes or tires I can provide the labor. You have to supply your own tires/tubes.

I plan to bring an early TC block to rebuild, bringing it off of the tractor already.

Just in case you have not done a rebuild before (certainly don't want to insult your experience level)...

Before you disassemble the touch control, scrub it with some kerosene and brush to remove any crud!

Did you get the correct rebuild kit for it? (You probably already know...based on the block part #)

You might consider printing off the appropriate HOW TO for your block, so the instructions are at hand.

If you want, I can bring a couple items that help with the rebuild...some tools, silverware tray for parts, etc.

Also, suggest you bring at least at least a couple cans of carb or brake cleaner! Plus, of course, hydraulic fluid for reassembly.
