Thanks for the pics. I love to see them and their explanations. They inspire me to start working on stuff BUT my lack of experience really brings out my timidness. I am just afraid that once I get started and take something apart I'll get stuck and screw it up
The older Cubs are not hard to work on. Get yourself a repair manual, take plenty of pictures and you be surprise how easy it is to work on your Cub. There are plenty of members who can help you if you have problems.

Is your sons clutch toast from pulling?
Let's see..........pulling, plowing, tug of wars and hooking to a tree.
Hooking to a tree needs an explanation. We had problems dialing in the motor. The motor doesn't run right until there is a load on the motor because of the modification(s) that were done to it. An easy way to put a load on the motor was to hook it to something that wasn't going to move. Most of the time 2nd gear was used. Towards the end (fine tune stage) 3rd gear was used. Bad choice....clutch didn't like that too well.

Son did take it the 86 to a tug of war event about a month ago. Somehow he talk them into running the 86 in 1000 pound stock class. He won that class. A 6 year old girl gave him the most competition in stock class. The winner of the 1000 pound stock class and 1100 pound outlaw class had a pull off. Son won 2 straight tugs against the outlaw winner.

On the way back to the trailer the motor in the 86 quit. The condenser fell off the tractor. Motor hasn't ran since.

We were surprise to see how bad the clutch look when the motor was pulled.

Merk,

Winning in 1K lbs class and 2 outlaw pulls is worth a clutch. It really is.:biggrin2.gif:

Merk,

I noticed in your pictures that on the dash tower where the hood latches down there are a couple black bushings bolted on each side. My 100 no longer has those pieces and the hood is worn thru on both sides from rubbing on the metal. Could you get me some dimensions on those pieces so I can make a set for mine. Are the bushings rubber or plastic?

Thanks

The OEM ones are steel and that's why the hood wears through. Later models had rubber ones. When I redid my 100, I zinc-plated the steel ones and used them. I'm curious to see what Merk used on his.

The clutch was still working good in 1st and 2nd. I wanted to use that clutch in the 70.

I pick those bushings on ebay. This is the first time I tried them.
I will try to post more info Saturday. Note sure what material the bushings are made from.

I bought those black nylon hood bushings off ebay. Came w/ all the hardware and work great. Thought the price was fair also.

The game plan for today is to get the 70 running today. Tried to install the throttle and chock cables....both were too short. I did find a throttle cable that works. Next was the fuel tank. I was missing a piece in the fuel line. Looks like it's time to see if I can make a fuel line that will work. The old sediment bowl doesn't look that good. I found a Sten's version that looks like the old one. This is what the fuel line looks like now:


The last thing that needs done before start up is a negitive battery cable. The orginal cable went from the battery to a bolt that holds the right front tower on. I've had better results with the negitive cable connected to the starter-generator bolt.

The 70 was pushed outside...

Will it start???????????

That looks fantastic!

Is that teflon tape on the fuel line connections? I tried that once and the gas pretty much ate through it after about a month. I'm not sure teflon tape is gas-resistant...

It is teflon tape. I've been using it for years with no problems.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
