Continued engine problems with my 129
There were too many threads that started as a specific topic and migrated on to more general discussion, so I started this one for any possible continuation. A recent suggestion was to post a short youtube video showing how my engine is running. I'll gladly do this if it would be truly worthwhile.
To summarize my other recent threads - I have recently cleaned the carb, replaced points, condenser, coil, and plug in an attempt to get the engine running better. Of late there has been a loss of power especially during mowing. Following the installation of the new parts, things are no better. Both leaner and richer carb adjustments did not help either. The tractor did not even have enough power to get from partway down the yard back up to my garage. In short, I highly suspect a rebuild is in order. I can't imagine what else to try at this point. The engine is 40+ years old - has been overhauled once (probably at least 20 years ago) but I'm not certain what all was done at that time. Any further suggestions welcomed, but right now I'm leaning towards contacting this Kustom Lawn and Garden business to obtain a short block. Thanks to all who followed and posted to my previous threads. |

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.
