Allan and folks,
Some cell phone pictures taken on my way out this morning. Clarity is not great but gives you the idea of the current status. So far it seems to be going OK. What do you guys think of the color combo? I still have time to paint it all IH red but probably will leave the block flat black. Then on to the wiring, seat, dash assembly, engine installation, does it end? ![]() Going to try to leave off the gas tank and top tins to allow the head to be re-torqued after running fo a while. (I am assuming it will run some day) FYI The top dipstick is a shorty and just for adding oil. The real dip stick enters through the cam gear cover. It is a knurled knob with a o-ring on the shank, about 6 inch long stem. I need the little rubber grommet for the point cover wire to pass through. Regards, Chris

That's a summary statement! Included a shot of what we would normally expect to see on a nice Kohler refurb! Consider the fact that I am not normal!Regards, Chris

What was that about soaking the head gasket in water? I don't recall reading anything about that (?)

That was valid 30 years ago, but not anymore. Modern head gaskets are not to be soaked.

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.
