There are several methods:

The cobble your way through it would be to either attach a bungee cord and pull the seat down or place a weight on the seat such as gallon milk jug container filled with water or a bag of seed.

The other way would be to disable the switch entirely which is not a good safety practice.

Earthworks has a great suggestion about getting a semi-trailer transport body dropped in (it's a box minus the wheels, frame, etc.). You may want to place it on high ground and rest it over a row or more of block to keep it away from moisture and prevent critters from going beneath.<br>

I don't think the frost line is that much deeper up there. The snow helps to insulate the ground.

Does anybody know if someone builds a 12V operated garage door opener? <br>

I'm planning to build a pole building and use a generator as the main power source when I need lights,etc. I'd like to be able to open the door without starting up the generator.

I just sold my old farm house with (big, big) barn. I have another place a mile down the road. I'm getting concrete poured in the old 25' x 44' shed (had dirt floor) and am thinking about an additional 32' x 48' with 12' x 12' and 10' x 12' doors.

I'm getting prices in the $15.00 - $25.00/ sq. ft. range depending upon how fancy we get. That is without electricity but with concrete floor and approach apron.

I have a Honda EZ2500 generator that will not always start my 2 1/2 gallon-2 HP compressor. How many HP does your 8 gallon compressor have?

I agree with Murf, you want tall and skinny R1's. Get the model with the tallest front tires you can. Hydro's are more convenient for loader work, but in my opinion, a gear unit will out pull a hydro. This statement may bring arguements from others and that is why I said "in my opinion". I have a hydro on my compact tractor and wouldn't go any other way. In a farm style application I'd go gear.

In my situation, when the power goes out, generally a bad storm has gone through which isn't that often. So, I'm either using the tractor/loader to push snow or pick-up tree limbs, etc. I also hate to put wasted hours on my tractor.

I opted for a Coleman Powermate with 6500 Watts surge and 5000 W. continous. That is enough to run certain appliances but not everything at once. They rate that as using about 5 gallons of gas for 11 hours at 1/2 load and about 7-8 hours at full load. I have about $750.00 invested with wheel kit. I also like to use it as a portable unit for different properties. I try to keep about 10 gallons of fresh gas on hand at all times more if the weather man predicts ice storms or severe weather.

I also like having a self contained unit. Hate the hassle of having to hook up a PTO set since I'd need to unhook something else as well.

If my power were to go out often and for long durations, I'd go with a self contained diesel unit in the 13 kW or larger range.

Also remember that when you finally get it loose and pops off unexpectedly, the telescopic shaft can pinch your hand where the shaft fits inside the tube. My farmer relative got 14 stitches when it pinched him a few weeks ago. I always wear leather gloves.

Do you have any large trees with sturdy limbs. Drive the tractor beneath and disconnect the deck. Toss a chain or two over the limb and use a come-along ($25.00) or so and raise it up. A second person can balance it while you back the trailer beneath and lower it down.

If I remember correctly, there should be a cast embossed pattern of the shifting pattern cast in the floor plate of the tractor. It is located directly by the shift arm boot like at the 6 o'clock position when sitting on the tractor.

I agree that it has gotten slower in the past 6-12 months. Advertising naturally comes in first. Several times a week it fails to load for me. I noticed a long time ago that it first seems to load as tractopoint before going to tractorpoint.com.

The only way I know how to do this is by using a dragline and digging them out. If you mow them off, they just keep coming back and multiplying each time. Running mowers and such under water just ruins the equipment.

I may be stupid, but my neighbor who I've known since about 6 years old has a spare key to my Cadet 7275. He uses it when he has a need. Today, one of my renters has a son who is a high school senior at a local rural school. Fashion is the senior men drive down mainstreet with lawn tractors in celebration. He is using my utility trailer and 1862 Cadet lawn tractor for the event. I also lease out my triple axle flat bed.

It is no big deal, they are just Cub Cadets anyway! I always help people when I can.

My location where the farm is at is in mid-Michigan. Most of the people purchasing this old stuff are collectors and get them for restoration.

Like Murf says, sometimes they are a PITA to get them to cut good. I'll take some pictures next week and post them under my photos section and also post them under the classifieds. I'm going to get rid of my 3 bottom mold board plow, a heavy duty 2 prong subsoiler for ripping out tree roots and some other antique farm machinery (fanning mill, hand corn shellers and old fashion corn husker). Looks like I'm selling the farm house and buildings and going to simplify my life.

I had that problem a week ago with my CC1862. <br>
<br>
Seems my renters put in some gas from a dirty can and plugged the hole and hose going from the tank to fuel filter. I used a nozzle from my air compressor and back blew it out. I siphoned out the gas and wiped out the tank as good as I could. There were all sorts of "gunk" junks in the gas. It has run a couple of hours since without a problem.<br>
<br>
P.S. Keep your head clear from the gas cap when back blowing it out. Kinda sprays a little when she lets loose.
