good news 147 runs again... bad news gas tank leaks
I got her to fire up today. It ran great, need to make some small adjustments in the throttle cable/governor but otherwise it runs fantastic. no leaks/knocks/smoke(except for the initial start up). I have a couple other issues though. first of all the gas tank leaks, I'm going to get another tank off of ebay (a new tank is 290 bucks). as a temporary fix, I might see if my stepfather can braze it. another issue I have, is while the starter generator works and starts the engine, it cranks slowly. When I rebuilt the engine, the camshaft was missing the ACR, i installed another spring i had from another K series cam, so I know the ACR is working. I also double checked this while the engine was on the bench. I cranked it over by hand several times and the exhaust valve remained open just slightly. engine also is not hard to turn over by hand. I have a brand new battery installed, it is a 335 CCA lawn and garden battery. I don't know if that is enough, but that is the largest battery they had in that size. I had an old K161 at one point that had a starter generator, it turned over allot faster than this one does.
Do the starter generators crank over slower as they get worn out? Does mine need to be rebuilt and are they rebuild able? If they are what does it cost? I did feel good to hear that old Cub running again. transmission does function, but I only moved it back and forth a foot or so, since I didn't want to get it all hot with that leaking fuel tank. I didn't run it very long, only a few minutes, but I can sleep at night knowing that it runs well.

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.
