It should be a fairly easy rebuild---of course that depends on the previous condition of the item. Be sure to gently take it apart and take a pictures as you. Clean the pads inside, some people use naptha to clean the carbon dust off. Do a visual inspection of all parts. If you just need new brushes, then just unscrew the old ones and put new ones in their place. I put just a drop or two of oil on the bearings at the ends and put it back together. You should notice a nice change in your starting!

Best way is find a starter repair shop in your area there are usually a few in a city with trucking and have them go through it with a , growler , true the commentator ,amp clamp etc I had mine done for $ 45 with a new rear bearing and brushes

I took my s/g apart to replace the studs, and the brushes were almost gone and the bearings tuned really hard, so I just took it to a shop and they replaced the bearings, turned the commuter and undercut the mica, brushes, and both feild coils for $50. When I got there ther put it back together in front of me to show me everything was new.

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.
