Cub cadet 100 questions
I acquired a 1964 Cub 100 that is very original, I have been using several years. I have a couple questions.
1. The hood reinforcement cracked where it mounts to the side. I'm thinking of MIG welding it quickly, and keep iced towel on outside of hood to try and preserve original paint?
2. When I'm using it around yard and put it down to idle to unload a cart or such its very difficult to get driveshaft to quit spinning. I wait, and wait. Is there a brake, or is my gearbox oil to thin? what gear lube should be used?
3. What oil? I'm currently running a non detergent 30 weight from Autozone...only non detergent around.
4. Just an observation....2nd gear to slow mowing and 3rd is to fast....real wide space in ratios
5. Sometimes I get a rattle/metalic/whine that when it starts is actually dragging idle of engine down. Would the PTO binding or miss adjusted? Usually when tractor is at idle in neutral I hear it.
Well I am certain I have more and thanks for any input.!
