Another 129
Howdy everyone: I have a question. I just picked up another 129 and was going over it and noticed that the flywheel screen was missing, did not notice it when I picked it up, and it runs like a champ, now HOW bad is it to not have a flywheel screen in place, and what will it hurt? And as always thanks in advance for your wealth of CC knowledge.

The intended purpose is to keep debris (ie: grass clippings) from plugging up the cooling fins.
Do you have to have one immediately.....no. I would suggest you get one in the near future though.

Big John aren't you aware that PA grass has a magnetic quality. This is more prevelent during polar vortex's. All kidding aside as Roland said that screen is to keep clippings out of the engine cooling areas it also detracts critters from entering and making themselves a home chewing everything in sight. If it were me I would remove the tins from around the jug and head area and thoroughly clean things up and then get a screen and put it in place. You would be best served to keep that screen clean to get the best air flow around the engine.

Screen
OK thanks for your insight. Now what would be the best way to replace the screen do I have to slide the engine forward to disconnect the drive rod or is there a simpler way? I am retired military and I sure wish there were such informative sights as this one is way back when I first enlisted but there were not even home computers back then. This site is 1st class and has been a great teaching tool for this old Non Com Thanks again..... Big John

Yes, you will need to disconnect the driveline and slide the engine forward to put that grass screen on. Now would also be a good time to inspect the coupler and driveshaft pin, as well. Congratulations on your 129! If it is going to be a snow machine, then you could hold off until next spring if you wanted.
You may want to inspect the flywheel fins, too. When I bought one of my 129's that was missing the grass screen, I found out the next day (it was a late night purchase) that the driveshaft disconnected on the PO and broke off a lot of the fins from the flywheel, hence that is why the grass screen was missing! Looking forward to your pics. Cub Cadet 123

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.
