Well, I just ordered yet another toy I'll get to use on this project and hopefully, many others. I've been wanting some kind of tach around the shop for a while now for obvious reasons, and I finally decided to pull the trigger. I looked around a bit and came up with this guy:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's a Hardline Products HR-8061-2, it does engine hours, RPM, and reminders you can set for service intervals (change oil, spark plugs, etc). The price was right and it had overall positive reviews so against my bank accounts' better judgement, I pulled the trigger It will be in Saturday so I hope to install it and get the idle set on this Cub. I'll be sure to post pics but I'm not sure if I'm going to leave it installed or just use it to set the RPM and then take it off since I don't REALLY need to know my RPM constantly. Then again, it would be pretty cool to have it on there

At least don't skimp on the hydra-oil, ain't worth it. IMO!


Was wondering if a pic is available to show how you tapped your point-saver into the points themselves? Now that would make your work totally complete.

NIK,
Well it may have taken me a little longer than I thought but here you go. I got a pic of where I mounted the Pointsaver as well as how it hooked up to the points. Normally, I wouldn't screw into good sheet metal on a Cub but the (upper) dash tower is a bit rough on this Cub so I decided it wasn't a big deal.

Side note: please ignore the rough flat-head screws on the points. The PO apparently thought there was no such thing as tight enough.

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.
