That "O" really looks nice, very little rust that I can see and good paint coverage. This cub must have been well-kept over the years. What a find!

the PO told me when he found it , it was in a woods with a tree growing up threw a hole in the deck. he did what he could , rebuilt the carb, good gas tank , new oil and what not.

it fired up and has been running good for about 6 years.

You did really well on the O, Doug. :beerchug:

thanks Allen


HAPPY NEW YEAR YA'LL

got another vid for ya'll . I know some on here , its like pullin teeth to get pics out of them. (duke) but if Im posting to much , let me know... :beerchug:
we need the forum upgrade so youtube vids show in the thread , not just show the link to the vid. but if it'll be a pain in the bum. Im cool with the way it is.

I love the vids, thanks for posting. That "O" started right up! Nice!

thanks , it only starts like that when shes cold. it'll crank for a few when it gets hot. odd??

That's what's great about our cubs. Bet ya won't find any Jane Does sitting in the woods that will run with a little tinkering. She's in great shape and the PO did a great job preserving it. :beerchug:

here is the deck the guy made. I'll be listing this for sale or trade soon with a video.

Here is a question; the deck intrigues me. I don't know that much about the decks for the originals, but I do know that you have the timed one (?) and that it is operated by the lever that is next to the pulley (that you moved in the video.) With the deck and belt installed, the center pulley spins when the engine is running. You push the lever down on the deck (w/ right foot?) and it engages the blades. How then do you stop the mower deck?

Thanks!

You pull up on the lever with the toe of your foot to disengage.
It's a primitive design relying on a slack belt to disengage. If the center pulley is spinning, so are the blades.

Like Bill said, lift the lever to shut off the blades. there is no clutch on the engine, just a pulley. so the long belt from the engine and pulley on the deck spins all the time.

Not sure on the "Primitive" no clutch to ever wear out, no seat switches, interlocks or relays to go bad. The O my Uncle had when I was a kid always worked. When was the last time you heard someone post about the mower not engaging on an O ?

When was the last time you heard of someone actually using one for a main mower?
They are primitive and dangerous. Every one I've seen would keep spinning. Even a slight temp or humidity change can keep them from disengaging.

if the right size belt is used , it'll disengage every time. I'll know more come May/ June. if I still have it.
I turned the blades by hand. it'll take more then a loose belt to spin it. Id say it takes a few hp to get it to spin up to speed.

that 70 I was looking at a year ago had a deck and it about stalled the engine trying to get it up to speed. I know not the same , but just as old technology.
