As to the other part of what you're saying, about my need to face my fears - it's not about actually being "afraid" to tackle a rebuild in the truest sense of the word, but moreso a realization that the amount of time I'd need to devote to it just isn't there. I'd have to sacrifice so many other more important things that do need to be done in a much shorter timeframe. And, if I'd start taking the engine apart, even with copious notes and pictures, then get bogged down in other responsibilities, I suspect my garage floor and workbench would wind up in the same state that my dad's was. I'd have to stay at it without much lull in between the work or I'd simply forget too much of what had already been done. Hope that clarifies some of my thoughts. |

I'm already looking for other Cubs..actually found one that looks to be in great shape but have to find out more about it. The guy who has it actually just bought it from someone else and thus far doesn't seem to have much info on it.

Why is it that when someone wants to buy a motor, all you guys throw a fit and try to talk them into doing it themselves, even when they state they don't have the knowledge or time to do it? I hear all the time "it's not rocket science" or "it's just a garden tractor motor". Well... yeah. But whenever people have wiring issues, you would think it was either a rocket or a bomb. Threads with post after post after post of people trying to sort out a simple starting issue on a tractor with all of 4 circuits and like 10 wires. Everyone ALWAYS suggests buying a new harness. No one EVER suggests to anyone to rewire it themselves. Why is it that people think the motor is soooo simple, and the wiring soooo hard? I don't think either one is difficult..... you guys get the point??? If a guy wants to pay someone to overhaul the motor, or buy a motor, or buy a wiring harness, then LET THEM. Frustrating to me that a Cub Cadet is never a "rocket" or "the space shuttle" unless you are trying to rewire it. Then, and only then is too difficult to fix yourself. At least not without a thread containing 100 posts.

All that being said, with homage to those who are hesitant to tackle rewiring, I would probably be the same way. Most electrical-related jobs just scare me. I let my IH dealer do a new wire harness just the other year. He said it was rather a B to do. |

Now Jonathan...taking advantage of us newbies....really....you should be shamed to the core....LOL Just kidding!!!! I am very appreciative of peoples' abilities and skills, no matter in what walks of life they occur. Greatness can be found in anything, if a guy knows what he's doing and what he's about. (I think Paul Newman echoed these thoughts (or similar) in "The Hustler"...)

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.
