Clint-

They probably didn't originally install it because it would wear out after 35 years, too, and then you'd have to get the old one out before installing a new one, which isn't always the easiest thing in the world. Some people don't have a tap to thread the ID of it to pull it out. Briggs twin carbs are full of things like that....for example, the seat in the carb is that way; you have to tap it 1/4-20 and thread a bolt in to pull it out. The Kohler carbs are so much easier to rebuild.

I suppose you are right, still as a general engineering standpoint it seems they would have put the bushing in. I'm not fussing because they didn't, I'm really glad they counterbored the housing, that would be a huge pain compared to playing with a bushing. I have not run into the specific problem on tapping/removing bushings yet, no problem if I do as you said tap and put a allen screw etc to pull it out, or would a easy out work just as well ?

I rebuilt the carb on my 1450, and I agree with you, it is super easy job, I have rebuilt several carbs before from complicated quadrajet, to this one, the Kohler was one of the simple straight forward, and that seems to last longer, and work better.

Clint-

I don't think an ez-out would work. I think you'd just grind out the ID of the bushing with it. Ez-outs don't work well in softer stuff in my opinion. It's REALLY easy to tap threads in bronze bushings.

I've never done a car carb, but the worst I've dealt with is the briggs twin carb...it's got about 5000 parts. A lot of briggs engine carbs don't even have a counterbore for a bushing...you'd have to ream the hole larger and install a bushing.

When I finally took the time, it took about 5 minutes and a phone call to the Hillman Group to turn up:

Fleeger's Ace Hardware
7828 West Bancroft Street
Toledo Ohio
(419) 841-5411

"They order regularly" and can order ANY Hillman item at any time!!!

Strange, how I can find that out all the way down in Texas....Geeesh...
"they're not in this area"...Hmmmph...

For others interested, just call The Hillman Group at 1-800-800-4900 and simply ask for the retailer nearest you. So, please, no more of this "I can't find'em" nonsense.

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.
