Hey Guys, remember the 128 that i got the other day? I bought it to be a backup mower and to do some pulling. I was just going to fix the PTO and put it to work, but it needs more. On start up and throttling up there was alittle black smoke. The air filter was clogged big time. I don't see how it was running. Put a new filter and changed oil.

When i took off in third it took alittle time to take off. So I took the clutch assembly out and it needs some work. The disc is real thin and the plates were cupped away from the fiber disc. The clutch hanger holes were egg shaped and they will be welded up and redrilled with a bent rod so it will not spin. I put the plates in the lathe to true them up. They are as flat as i can get them. Here's some pics to show where im at with it. Thanks Todd

It sounds like you and I have the same luck genie. I brought home a 129 that only needed a battery and a coil wire before it was ready to work. That was in January. Maybe it'll be ready to cut grass in the next four weeks. That is some beautiful machining you did. I would say you were lucky to have the equipment, but I know luck has nothing to do with it.

Nice job !! My Craftsman 109 lathe is out of commission for a simple tapered bushing . Can't get parts. If I had another lathe I could turn one. One question. Why do all of our garages look the same ?:biggrin2.gif:

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.
