I've read how to time. Can I time without a light? Or does it HAVE to be done with a light. Can I try to read the mark on the flywheel?

There are several ways to do it.

Many of the guys use a volt meter. I normally use a test light, you can use the light to see in the hole. Attach the clip to the neg. (point side) of the coil, rotate the crank shaft, when the light comes on the "S" should be centered in the hole OR the marks should be lined up. If not move the points and try again until it's right.

Same thing, except the needle moves rather than the light coming on and you have to have a separate light to see in the hole.

I put a paper one on when I ran it. It's going to have a paper until I get an oil bath.

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.
