I mentioned a hair dryer not a china fright jet engine.
 I also mentioned a soldering gun or iron, not a torch with an open flame, ----- way to much heat on a small thin float. I like 37/63 rosin flux core electrical solder. Also an once of Muriatic acid diluted with chips of a zinc jar lid works wonders on cleaning radiators for repairs (or corroded floats) Guess I should of mentioned CAREFULLY apply warm air  When testing the float: if it is warmed in warm water, then submerged in cold water, it will suck in water if it has a leak. And you will hear it sloshing inside when shaken, so back to heating and looking for the leak Use a small soldering iron or gun next time. ( like the ones for circuit boards)----( or wood burning sets) I'm not sure you fixed the minuscule leak, you possibly just blew out the sweated seam.  Time will tell.

 but the missus' doesn't like my borrowing her things to the garage... The "jet engine" was easy enuf to regulate with distance... Was thinking my soldering pencil was too small/slow... I am confident I found the initial leak though... Next time...

As far as distance, I wish the drivers that have started driving back on the roads would practice "social distancing" of at least 10' between them and other vehicles. It was refreshing to "turn back time" 60+ years while driving during the shelter at home requirements. At times I saw no one in my rear mirrors or the distance ahead. How wonderful I could experience that, but sad the conditions that are causing it. Oh, on purchasing a new float, no satisfaction/fun in that, and sometimes vintage things are not available

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.
