A little better pic of the flywheel balancing set up. The time consuming part is waiting for the flywheel to stop. I give it a few slow spins in one direction and mark the high spots, then again in the opposite direction. Put a mark between those for the average then remove material opposite. Repeat until the stopping point is fairly random. You’ll never get it perfect, but so close it won’t shake. I’ll balanced the drive line as well. I’m hoping for an improvement in overall smoothness, but at least I’ll know where any vibration doesn’t come from.

I got the rings filed to .012” and all the guts inside the case, shaft seals, valves in and gapped. Set the timing now while it’s easy and the point gap came in at .019”.
I have to pick up a few 3/8” Helicoils for the aluminum oil pan. The threads were pretty sloppy so I had deepened them and Loctite’ed in studs, which works ok but it’s a pain if you want to slide the engine back or forth.

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.
