Default and today..........

I put the driveshaft back in minus one fan blade ( &%&#*^$ !!!!! ) .


Replaced 3 ball ends. I moved the hydro drive end trunion thing to the replacement engine, and will hopefully light things off tomorrow. Put the dress plates in front of the transmission tunnel and on the frame pan behind the engine. I had to wait to make a trip to the hardware store to get some fasteners until tomorrow as my wife wanted me to wait for the UPS guy since the delivery needed a signature. UPS guy came , dropped the package with no signature , and left.

Did I mention more parts cleaning?

Am not sure you mentioned the parts cleaning specifically, but as I have
followed this thread. I was certain there was a whole bunch of that going on.
Have a good time firing it up.

How did you get that kind of a wheelie out of a tractor with no engine?

Prolly inflated the front tire to #250 and when it "popped"
he quickly put the jack stand on the table and put it under the attachment bar before it came crashing back down
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick

Man are those fan blades frustrating, I have to agree with ya there. I started with 3 of 5 intact for my 107. Now, I'm down to one! I swear I'm gonna steal the metal one from the 147 and use that on the 107 .

Good work, looks like you're getting close to having a running machine again

Hmmm, what's that engine I see in the bottom right corner of that picture?

That engine is now in the Cub, spirol pin installed (lightly greasing them and chamfering the leading edge just a hair, makes this a simple process), grill is back on, light panel in, and wiring harness connection underway. May try and light it off today. Thought I had two LED headlights but only had one (the box I thought that had the 2nd contained a spare incandescent ). Oh Amazon.....

Those front motor mount bolts are special. Jacking one end of the axle up at a time with a small bottle jack helped provide clearance to the front ones.



I hope the seller of the engine described it accurately as good running, no smoke or knock. We shall see!

Wheelie was manually produced. Holding the cub up with one hand while positioning the workmate and jack stand underneath is sporty!

Default Eeet Leeeves!

I got the wiring routed and the rest of the little stuff hooked up. Swapped the very worn out Carter carb (which I'll rebuild) for a known good Chinesium , hooked up the linkages for choke and throttle and all the little stuff. I filled up the Ketchup squeezer fuel tank (with the tapered nozzle that fits every kind of random fuel line) with a little bit of fresh gas, and....



Cranked it up and it ran like a champ.... well... too much of a champ. The hydro linkage is not adjusted so it climbed over the wheel chocks and was heading southward towards the woods when I turned the key off.



I'll jack up the rear end and do the hydro adjust as per the manual before I try this again, but it sounds good and not a bit of smoke.

Apparently I wasn't the first to discover the joys of working on a Cub with the front end in the air.

Sounds good! Always feels great to fire it back up after doing a lot of work. I hope to see some 'finished' pictures soon!

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.
