Just recently picked up my first lo boy 154. I have to remove the creeper gear to get it to move I've already reached out to Hamilton Bob's Cubs. He's led me in the right direction I even called him and spoke to him personally. I'm super excited to keep this machine going up here in Merrimack New Hampshire. I'm in the process of getting the engine running right and then we'll move on to the clutch and gearbox. Super fortunate for this to have come with the 1050 series a. I got an insane deal and I'm sure some people on this site saw it at chappel tractor when I purchased it. My name is Nick I'm excited and I'm going to be putting all my effort into making this my workhorse. Not sure how to post pictures but I would love to show you guys my machine. Thanks for your time.

Nick, Welcome to the forum. I don't have a 154, but there are a lot of guys on here that can help you with it.
 
Hi,
The Cub 154 LoBoy operator's manual can help you learn about maintenance that the LoBoy needs.
Below is the Cub 154 LoBoy operator's manual. The experts on here recommend people read it. It has lots of info about operation, maintenance, and lubrication. There is a table of contents on page 1, and the index begins on page 58.
The lube section begins on page 46. The Lubrication Guide is on page 50, and shows the places to lube.
It shows how 154 LoBoys originally looked in it.

It shows the electrical system that a LoBoy originally had.
154 LoBoys originally have 12 volt, negative ground electrical systems.

I would check or change all the oils before using the LoBoy. Using a LoBoy with low oil in a gear housing can damage the parts in it.
There are 3 separate gear housings at the rear area of a LoBoy, with 3 separate oil levels to check, the transmission, and 2 final drives.

The transmissions in Cubs and LoBoys commonly get water in them, from rain, or condensation inside the housing over time.
The operator's manual tells how to change the oils, and what oils to use.
There is a search box at the top of the page, to the right of the Farmall Cub, you can find info in posts that have been made.

To post pictures, go to below the box to type a post in, and click on Attachments, then Add files, then your pics will come on and you can pick the pics you want to post. If the pics are too big, I think it will say. Then you need to resize whichever one, and make it smaller. :)
 
Very excited Glenn and thanks for the info I've already read the service manual twice. I think I'm on the right track. I've currently acquired all the filters I need and I'm working on getting all the fluids now. I cannot wait to split this thing in half and fix the creeper gear. Currently just excited to get the engine running very well before I do any work with the old girl. I couldn't get off the trailer without greasing a bunch of it. I'm sure this will be the best place this tractor has been in a long time, going to get her some new fluids and put her to work.

Nice Machine! I like the Ag tires and loader!

Grease - There is a plug in the side of the distributor housing. Remove the plug, install a zerk, and give it a shot of grease. Don't overgrease it. One shot a year. Also, there is a hidden zerk on the throwout bearing housing.

The creeper is a valuable tool for these tractors. The creeper is worth the rebuild. This tractor has a frame so you don't have to split it to remove the creeper. Speaking of the frame, inspect the frame at the rear axle. A lot of them seem to develop a crack there. Long term, might want to reinforce this area with some additional metal.
