Picked up a 72
After a longer than usual drought, I scored a 72 last night. #235196 Non-running, in garage for 22 years. Motor rolls with compression. Original condition, may have a replacement K161- have to give it a bath and have a closer look. 38A deck needs an idler pulley but is in good shape otherwise. Looks like it'll clean up well; missing a few parts, but we have the technology to rebuild her! I'll have to keep a cushion on that pan seat, broke up pretty bad... Are axle seals hard to do on these? Looks like the right side is a leaker.

Nice score on the 72 Tom!
That looks like the hard to find muffler for an 86 on it too! |

Congrats Tom!
The seals is a pretty easy fix. You'll have to pull the axle tubes off and I would do both side if it was me. |

Why do you have to pull the tubes? The seals go in from the out side. You need to pull the axles.

It Lives!! If this tractor really sat for 20+ years, it was more than ready to come back to life. Had to spray down the throttle/governor linkage to get it freed up, and repair the incorrectly installed throttle cable at the tower control. Spark was strong, so I didn't have to go THERE for once. I drained and changed the goo oil that was in it, cleaned the spark plug, rolled it over with the starter for 15 seconds to splash some oil around, then pulled and cleaned the carb. Little bit of varnish but everything was loose and cleaned up well. Drained and cleaned the fuel bowl, ran some fresh gas through the tank which was clean inside, bled the fuel line, and hit the key. At 1/4 throttle and full choke, it started sputtering after about 12-15 seconds and finally fired. Nary a puff of smoke. Some minor adjustments to the carb and I was off for a test-ride in the dark! Three forward gears plus reverse, and a steady idle! Charges at 14 volts. Steers and stops pretty good, too!
I think we're off to a good start. Next up is the mower deck and mule drive, then pull and repair the PTO clutch and source a PTO lever and linkage. The 86-style muffler was rotted all down the backside and got swapped for a button-style one from the parts basket. I'll hold on to the 86-style muffler, but it would need some repairs to be fully functional. I'm happy with my $100 investment! oops, did I say that out loud??

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.
