Been busy last couple days. Our daughter started kindergarten so all the meet the teacher stuff was Tues and first day on the bus today so hugs were given and pictures were taken. She seemed to do just fine with it all. Boy was nervous about being at daycare by himself but he'll come around.

Mowed the lawn with the 2284

And then got back to wiring. The only gauge completed is the voltmeter. Battery was testing 12.7 just sitting there. I tried the switch....NOTHING? I started checking everything. Power at the starter.. check a bunch of other connections. Was nearing Def Con 4 when I had one of those I had installed a fuse block and guess who had not put a fuse in yet...... 20 Amp fuse and we had dash lights and voltmeter! Fuel pump was chugging. Even whirled the starter Voltmeter seemed accurate. Need to finish the other two gauges. PTO ground. Light circuit. And then make a decision if I should mess with the little lights in the guages. Getting closer.

Sick bay is empty..... gauges in and done. Tractor completely rewired. Massive undertaking for me, my skill set, and limited time. Other than the lights it is done. However the beast would not run for more than a few seconds with the choke out. Panicked and started swapping parts from spare engine. Sam convinced me to slow down and swap the carbs. Purrs like a kitten. I was certain I had an ignition problem. After all, I rebuilt that carb ??? Then made a mess of things with a couple oil leaks. Forgot to tighten one line to the hydralic valves. Got it all cleaned up and drove it back in the shed under it's own power! Been chasing kids the rest of the morning or I may have actually put the fender pan and seat back on for the first time since January!

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.
