How often do yo really replace points because they wore out?
It's not a lot of money granted, but I don't really think you gain much with it.

Most of the 'dedicated Pullers' all have them. They swear by them as a must have.

I've only ever replaced two sets of points on all the cubs I've bought/sold/owned. But you never really know when they will go bad so can't hurt to upgrade.

I installed mine awhile back & it's just chugging along just fine.

Little gizmos like the point saver makes logical sence? Yes vs. no? Can't hurt?

Back in (yikes) 1978 I added a electronic ignition on my 1970 Buick skylark. A box that was aprox., 6" x 6" x 2" that was supposed to do the same thing as the point saver in question. Even back then it did its job. So adding a point saver to dedicated points can't hurt?????

NIK,

If my memory serves me the condensor gets taken out of the equasion as well. I have a point saver setup in the basement and will be installing it on something in the spring as well as the bosch blue coil.

when I got my 128 the points were bad and no connection . I take a point file and rub or file some silver solder or silver , this coats the steel some ,then file the points and check with a ohm meter ,it has been firing up fine for 4-5 years now

The little flashing light on the points saver works really well timing your tractor , especially for us older guys that do not see as good as they used to , and can't crawl around their tractors like they used to do !!!!!!

I like mine a lot , especially when I bring home a new tractor. I mount it where I can see the light flash when I am timing it. For the most part , I am a one man show when I work on my tractors and every shortcut helps.

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.
