Hello All,

Well I had said no, but I was wrong. There is another piece, altho I don't think it is absolutely needed.
Here is a pic of my 128 motor with all the tins in place.


Without the head tin installed:

Yes. You're missing a piece between your top plate and your fan shroud. It wraps over each side of your head and attaches with small screws to the head itself. you should be able to see the screw holes there.

If you look close at this pick you can see what your missing.

Yes, that other piece of tinwork needs to be there to direct the air over the cooling fins.

If it wasn't needed, the factory wouldn't have included it...

Thanks for the replys. It looked like there was a link missing in the chain. Will start looking for one.

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.
