Brake clean, pocket screwdriver, wire brush and a 3M fiber wheel and my die grinder. Looks kinda like a green scrubby pad.

whats the point of an adjustable ignition lobe? If you are using it, then its still for points, and you adjust timing there. I must be missing something.

If I understand it correctly, adjusting by changing the points gap is rather crude. It also messes with your dwell time. By adjusting with the lobe, you can get the dwell time and the point gap closer to ideal. Not that there is anything wrong with stock. My main reason is this is the only way I have found to use the pristine Magnum series camshaft I have here. The points lobe was never ground into it. So in addition to getting the cheater treatment on the duration, they are gonna install their cam points lobe on the Magnum cam thereby allowing me to use it in a K series engine. The adustibility is just gravy.

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.
