Default Accessing points
I wanted to inspect the points on my 128. I am new to this but I think I found them but I can't get the cover off. There is a screw on the top of the cover that is easy to access but the bottom screw is blocked by the frame.

Once you get the screws out, consider replacing them with allen screws. Then it will be easy peasy.

There should be a hole in the frame that lines up with the bottom screw that you can stick the screwdriver through.

Not always, but that's what drills are for.
Then, after you loosen the screw, it helps to have one of these....

Such a simple question and look at all I have learned. Never thought
of changing out the screws, drilling a hole, or getting new screw drivers.
My method has always been to fight it for twenty minutes. Cool.
Really liking the buy new tools idea.
Ken

Stuff a towel or some rags between the frame rail and the lower engine to catch the screw from disappearing into oblivion when you drop it.

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.
