Cub Cadet 105 battery
Hello! I managed to find yet another Cub Cadet here in Sweden, this time a 1968 105 Hydrostatic.
One owner in the US from 1968 to 2013, then imported to Sweden and one owner here until I bought it. It ran when parked sometime in the 1980s but has not been started since. But the engine has been rotated and cylinder oiled a couple of times a year. Now I want to see if it runs! But I need to get a battery for it. What size and type of battery should I buy? I don't even know if it's 6 or 12V. Here is the newcomer:

The battery would be 12 Volts. Look for something with a minimum of 300 CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) that will fit in your battery box.

I am not familiar with how cold winters are in Sweden.
The 105 is a hydrostatic transmission and as the engine is cranking to start, it is also turning the input to the transmission. In cold weather, the oil in the transmission thickens and can put an extra drag on the starter/generator, thus sometimes making starting difficult. So if you will eventually be starting this tractor after it has sat for an extended period in the cold, you may want to consider a battery with high CCA. Like they say, bigger is better. (but more expensive too)

Ironman: Where i live temperatures can go as low as -35°C (-31°F), but it's usually around -28°C. I don't plan on using this Cub in the winter though, the plan is to finish my 128 for year around duty and only use the 105 in the summer for grass cutting and so on.
I went to a local battery dealer today and found a decent one that fits, 350CCA. Nice price too, only about the equivalent of 80 dollars. When on the subject of Hydrostatic Cubs, what oil and how much goes in the transmission? And also what oil and how much in the engine? I should probably change that before trying to start it. West Valley G: Yeah they are super rare here, I'm very lucky to have found two. I keep my eye out always and will buy all that I can find lol. I really want to import a original cub as well. I sure will, I will probably make a forum thread working on it.

Welcome and congrats on you Cub.
I Absolutely would change the engine oil before trying to start it. After sitting that long I would also check under the engine tins for and debris from possible rodents houses. They just love to nest in these Kohlers for some reason. I would also clean fuel system and carb up. Best of luck with it!

I got a new battery today, installed, removed the spark plug and put some oil and gasoline in the cylinder and thought I would see if It turned over alright.
Well the engine and cutting deck turned over nicely, only problem is that the piston won't move LOL! So the rod is probably in two pieces. Oh well, I'm rebuilding the Kohler in my 128 right now so rebuilding another shouldn't be a problem.

Are you sure it has no compression?
You cannot see the piston move through the spark plug hole, as it it over the valve area.

Oh, i did not realize that! I just stuck a screwdriver down the spark plug hole and it did not move so I assumed the worst. I should now better since I'm as I said rebuilding a kohler atm. Lol, it's my first though.

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.
