Has this ever happened to you...?
It was a nice August summer day, cruising my 102 turning grass into mulch...suddenly, SMOKE, sputter, cough...silence...
 Not having the time to investigate/repair, I pulled out another worker and pulled my 102 to the stall to rest... When I finally got time, in October, I started to investigate my issues with old faithful 102. After checking some of the more obvious possible issues, I saw a burnt looking spot at the head... hence, blown head gasket... So after removing serveral layers of metal and components, I held the blown gasket in-hand... upon purchase of new Kohler gasket, I started to put it back together... but hey wait, let me just clean this part a bit first... and this one... and so on, and so on... Well it seemed a shame to have all these clean engine parts sit in a not so clean frame... so that when it "happened" - not knowing this was going to "happen", I didn't take too many before pics, but here's a few...1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg 4.jpg

Oh that gorgeous engine is too nice to put back in that cub. Time to strip the cub and do it too.
 You did a great job. Looks great.

This being my first unofficial "refurb, restore, whatever you want to call it", I didn't really know how far I was going to take it... The PO had painted it at some point with a very bright sunshiney color, albeit incorrect, it really made my repaint simple enough, as I just had to cleanup, sand a bit and shoot away... Although I have a spray gun, I didn't really intend on turning my working girl into a show girl... so I ended up using Valspar rattle can - at any rate, before I was done reassembling, I fixed some other things that needed maintenance - carb rebuild, resurface head, new heim joints, readjust steering (probably should have removed and done complete rebuild), lights where there were issues, that's about all i can think of... it was getting cold here in Chicago land, but not too cold to shoot cheap paint (heck we still haven't gotten our snow yet...), it did get too cold to paint befre i finished, so I didn't get a chance to repaint the hood... I may get decals and repaint hood in the spring, but not sure yet, since this is a worker - a clean one, however... Here's some more pics...

Here's some more pics, I know I really enjoy pics, as do you all, I'm sure... Although I'm generally a purist, I took the liberty of having some fun with the black, yellow and white paint scheme to accentuate some items on the engine, I like how it looks... I left the air filter off for pics... I painted the grill a gold'ish color, just because I had the paint handy - I kinda like it...?
10.jpg 11.jpg 12.jpg 13.jpg This item was an upgrade that the PO had installed. Out of respect for the PO, and his respect for this cub, I decided to reinstall his upgrade - priceless... 14.jpg I really enjoyed working on my 102, and it will likely inspire me to put one of my 147 into this condition - it's just fun bringing a 45 YO machine up to date for many more years of work... I hope you enjoyed my pics, Peace!

Looks GREAT
I'd leave the hood just as is...the whole thing just looks RIGHT. And no, things like that have NEVER happened to me :-)
BTW, I need to find one of those drink holders! John

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
