Do you do all the work on your cubs?
I've had IHCCs for about 13 years now. I've done my best with limited knowledge and skills and have learned a ton along the way. I've pulled engines, swapped mounts, rebuild carbs, etc. The problem is I'm getting to the point where at least one Kohler needs a full rebuild, which is beyond my skill set and time allowance. Other than 'power equipment' shops that charge $60-75/hr for shop time, I'm having a tough time locating someone that can do this level of work. Even they are hesitant to work on a 40 year old motor and none will give me a solid idea of the amount of time and cost involved.
I'm truly wondering if I've hit the tipping point where it's no longer feasible for me to own these. I guess a plug and play repower is an option as I can likely do that myself.
Do you do all the work on your cub? Maybe I'm just not the right type of person for antique tractors.
