Well I guess that shows you how little I know right now huh

I have a 108 that I'm looking to take care of and want to better understand how it all works. I'm starting from the ground floor here and need the kindergarten speed class

So can I download something like you mentioned? Would you mind helping me with a link? Honestly I'm sorry for the baby questions here but I really have no idea what I'm doing but need to finally get over this lack of knowledge and learn something about small engines. I'm really into this 108 and want to be able to take care of it and rebuild it when it needs some help. Plus Craigslist can be a dangerous place with you type in Cub Cadet into the search box

I suggest that with a few manuals and engine basic /training books, but check out the web on the subject . buy a cheap or broke down mower engine for the purpose of dismantling and reassembly. maybe a 2cly as well.

Go to the tec. section of the site, for tractors and find your tractor and down load it. It should have and owners and service manual avalable.
Sorry I don't know how to do the link thing.

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.
