Ok..... why did you buy another trans? Those never go bad. Is it because you broke that brake arm? If so, why didn't you just change out the broken part?

The tires/rims you put on the front have no bearing in them. If you leave them on there you will wear out the spindle in no time flat. Why does the left spindle have a threaded rod sticking out? Did you put that on there?

Isaac,

A wire wheel would be a better choice for paint prep and cleanup than a hard disc on an angle grinder. You can get a simple one for around $5 that will chuck in the end of an electric drill.

When you run into a thick paint blob or run, take a small hammer and something like a nail punch to them. I used a welding slag hammer and chipped away at the runs, pick axle style. A couple of good hits and the paint will fly off the metal in chunks, so wear your safety glasses.

Heads up, if you replaced that entire rear end because of the broken brake arm/lever, there likely was nothing wrong with it. The rod the brake lever/arm pivots on is removable and it can be replaced. I doubt you're ever going to have a need for those individual parts you are planning to soak in oil. You might consider getting that thing back together, maybe with a local Cub nut's help.

If you were having an issue installing the motor on the frame rails I am going to assume that you did not do this mod. http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ead.php?t=4630 This mod should be done to every quiet line tractor when the engine is pulled. Also as for the carb I soaked my carb in white vinegar for a few hours and used a brass brush on it. It was shinning like it was new.

You can also get a wire wheel "cup" for said angle grinder that'll spin a whole lot quicker than an electric drill. Remember the safety glasses as those like to come off and fly everywhere. I used one on my blade restore last summer, and my brother has had good results using one on a #2 little genius plow he restored a few summers ago.

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.
