Default Flywheel ?

Ok guys, looking for a little bit of advice.

Just started the 73. now that its running, I am noticing that the flywheel-pulley on the front of the engine is bent. Could that bend the crank or crack something?

I may cause a vibration problem and chew up belts. I would suggest that you replace it.

But will it break the case or crank? There is no question that it needs replaced but I don't think I will have it done in time for a show around here if I get in to that. I need to get it on a trailer, off the trailer and back home.

Thanks. One more thing, the pulley on the generator is slipping allot. When you try to start it will spin and catch after a few seconds. Can you get different pulley sizes or is it the belt?

Yeah, you may have a bad belt or not enough tension on it.

ok. I probably have a bad belt because the belt is tight on the pulleys. The thing is that it sits really nice on the big pulley.

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.
