Anybody else having a "super" day ?
 

today is my first "super" day

Is it a 2284? Did it include a deck? Awesome find.

it's supposed to be a 2084, can't read the engine sticker, haven't looked at the model or serial numbers yet.
it's in pretty ok condition over all
it does not run, it has no spark to either plug
did not come with a deck or anything other than a better hood and side covers. which is ok as I want to get a snow blower for it.

so your not supposed to tow or push this machine more than a couple feet.
how do you move it when it will not run?

the guy I bought it from lifted the rear end with a chain and his loader and pushed it with the front wheels on the ground.
I don't have a loader.

You should be able to push it by hand as much/far as the average guy is able without hurting anything. Can't you unload in front of your shop and just push it in? I have been known to pull a roller jack under the rear and get someone to keep it stable and roll it that way on concrete. Make sure any helpers don't push on the plastic!

I think I saw this on Craigslist. Did the guy have several Cyclops supers and a 582? Congrats on the pickup

Nice to see your have a 2084, does it have a radiator?

Congrats on the super.:beerchug:

People get to worried about towing these Cub's. Just go slow and you can go as far as you want. My old 1811 got drug about 500yrd and it was just fine.

nope but
the seller had 3 with gas 3 cyl and radiator and 2 diesel
his loader was 3 cyl gasser
he had 20+ supers

I kinda figured pushing would be ok, I did drop it right outside the door and pushed it about 30 feet

I got the engine out and on the bench, pretty packed with grass, no mouse nest though.
I got cleaned up pretty good, the magnets in the flywheel are all loose, I'll have to glue them back in tomorrow.
I didn't get to testing the coils, good thing I have another 20 hp kohler sitting on a tire (CV20), coils should be the same right?

he had a bunch of stuff, cubs everywhere, 2 buildings full and at least another dozen sitting outside.

I have spark now, it had one bad coil and 1 coil with an almost cut in 2 plug lead.
I should have it running in a couple hours? then I'll know what I really got

2 new coils and spark is back

well after cleaning all the fins, replacing the instake gaskets and reassembling everything.
I put on a new fuel pump and got that pumping, the PO had an electric one rigged up and I didn't like the rigging.
well after all that, I got it start, it took a lot of cranking and sputtering but it finally ran.
I think it runs about 1/2 power at full throttle and if I try to throttle it down it wants to die.

but I really wanted to know if the tractor would move under it's own steam SO
I let off the brake and it wants to die instantly, so some switch somewhere is killing it.
SO I unhooked the kill wire, it fired right back up, still about 1/2 power
but it DOES move under it's own power.

I think the carb is leaking around the selenoid, looked wet back there
probobly need to clean the carb too huh.
I need to figure out what switch is wanting to kill it.
