I had a small coolant leak around this fitting so I had to pull the engine out again to repair it. I cleaned it up, painted it and installed new clamps. Hopefully that will solve the issue.

I ordered 25' of 3/8 brake tubing off of Scamazon for $20 and also some 3/8 JIC tube nuts & tube sleeves from DiscountHydraulicHose.com. I watched a few YouTube Vids on tube bending and made these up. These aren't perfect but I think they'll work good enough for a plow tractor.

I then got the engine put back in, wired up and installed the clicky starter relay only to find out my 15 year old China gear reduction starter has failed. It shorted out and burned up my new relay. So I ordered a new China GR starter and hope to get it installed soon.

I see a common problem with the starters (China)

I plowed the garden a few weeks ago and so far it's working great. This was some pretty hard plowing because I let this garden get ahead of me with lots of weeds and grass.

Good work Todd.
Yeah, those lines don't stand a chance, against a flopping driveshaft.

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.
