I just talked to the old man who owned this tractor from new until last year. He still has the ORIGINAL motor out of this old Cub! He said it was actually a functional motor when he pulled it out, but the valve guides were worn, which was causing problems with carbon buildup, valve cooling, and valve sticking. He said that with a new set of valve guides, the original motor would be ready to go.
So, now I have a choice to make... new valve guides on the original motor, or find all the blockoff plates, dipstick tubes, etc., to make this new motor work? Time is of the essence... I really do not have time to be spending on this thing right now!
