to meeting you.  Roy (Mr. E) puts on a first class gathering.  You will have 
a great time.

John, thought you might have a bit of a lull in your projects and wanted to 
invite you (or anyone else!) to visit the Super A project I just started 
here in Chapel Hill.  (At least I THINK you are in the area?)  It is the '48 
SA I just bought in Person Co. with the broken crankshaft.  I also have a 
second '48 SA (with a working engine) that I had originally planned to 
restore, but decided the Person Co one ("Bubba") was actually in better 
shape.  I figured I will put the working engine on Bubba, and part out the 
other.

I was wondering if you, or anyone else, can confirm which engine I have?  It 
has no engine serial number, is currently on tractor S/N  250323, has a 
block part number 354898R93 with a C123 also on the block, and I can't read 
the casting date.

Will there be any problem putting this engine on Bubba (Tractor S/N 258879, 
Eng S/N 317601, with the broken crank, and Eng block part  #354898R1 with a 
G)?

I plan to dismantle as far as necessary, sandblast/strip parts, then 
repair/replace and repaint everything.  I would LOVE to have your expert 
advice, as my previous experience is limited to my recent restoration of my 
'55 Cub, which I just finished in September '10, and really enjoyed.  I am 
looking forward to learning a new tractor and meeting folks who know more 
than I!

I also plan on going down to the cub gathering in FL next month...anyone 
else going?  It will be my first!  Hope to meet some good people and learn 
some more.

PS Anyone have a grill in reasonably good condition that they will sell to 
me CHEAP?!  Can't afford $500+!

Anybody got anything remotely red in the shop?
We just drove out a 129 Cadet that we put a narrow frame snow blower on. It
orks, but could stand more modification to allow for greater ground 
clearance.
now is in the forecast so maybe we will get a chance to use it before dad 
sells
t. Lets face it, there just ain't that much snow around here to justify 
keeping
t. Go about an hour or two north and it is a different scenario.
Today we pulled the fenders off my 2072 Cadet. I know, its not IH but it is
retty much built like the last IH built Cadets. I've got to work on the
ontrols for the hydrostatic.
fter that the 60" deck has got to be stripped of parts, sandblasted and
epainted. I've wanted one of these mowers since new and was finally able to 
buy
ne last fall.
Dad's International 454 needs a little work on the brake controls but since 
it
s the one we use to clear snow when needed, we don't want to disable it with
now in the forecast every other week!
One of the Super A's needs a rear main.
Dad changed out the gears in the IH mag we run on his DC Case. FYI an H4 IH 
mag
ill bolt right up.
Spring will be here before you know it. If it doesn't, all my tractor money 
will
e used up to pay the heating bills!
