Kopeck, looking good. Good job on the pics too!

Alvy, I have the same gauge and it seems okay but I'm pretty sure Hendrick Motorsports may use something that's a little better.

Kopeck

I'm impressed with the job your doing on this one. Your sister is going to have a sweet tractor.

Looks good. I also play mechanic first and worry about body and fender repairs much later. Maybe I'm just to afraid of scratching the paint if I have to go back and do additional work!

A little more progress.

Rear end is bolted back in and the hydro linkage is all hooked up:



I was able to add a washer to the pivot points to tighten things back up a bit:



I need a new filter and some Hy-Tran before the fenders go back on. I also put new tie rod ends on and greased everything up. The chassis is more or less done baring some unseen disaster.

Just waiting on the machine shop now...

Question for ya. The link that goes from the hydro to the brake mech, how is that attached? Did you use a bolt or something? When I bought my 127 this link was not attached back to the hydro and all I have is the yoke on the end of the link and no pin or bolt. Just trying hard to find out what that part is.

Which end?

On the brake side it's a yoke with a pin that goes on a brake on the brake shaft. On the other side it's hole that slides over a stud on the speed control plate.

Unless something major is missing it should be fairly obvious.

The machine shop has completely derailed this project. They have had the 321 for 8+ weeks for just a .010 overbore and turning the crank .010. Just just got word that it was done, now I need to find the time to go it it.

In the mean time I cleaned and primed some parts:

Thumbs up
Fantastic build! The balance gear shims from an AQS Kohler K Series engine might have worked for "washers" as well. Just a thought I had while reading this thread. Glad the crank pin checked out too!

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.
