I don't get it, don't you use the matchbook to set the gap for the mechanical PTO ?.

When installing a coil, I loosen the mountings screws and slide the coil as far away from the flywheel as possible, then lightly snug the screws to hold the coil there. Now after rotating the flywheel until the magnet is directly under the coil, I place a standard thickness paper business card between the legs of the coil and the flywheel. Now loosen the screws and the magnets will pull the coil into place. Tighten the screws securely, and rotate the flywheel to remove the business card. Your air gap should be right around the .008" spec. The paper of a business card is right around .008 - .010" thick and is the perfect tool to quickly get the coil installed evenly and at the correct distance from the flywheel.
Will do, that's how I set the one that's in there now, as someone on here had mentioned. The coil has been shipped so I'm going to start tearing it down in the morning.

Default Update on coil
First, I guess you can pull the engine in 30 minutes. It took me a little longer cause I took my time and wasn't in a rush. I had it tore down and ready to go
when the new coil arrived today. I just got it in and back together, she fired right up, happy, happy.
I'll try it first thing in the morning when it's still a little cold out, if it starts I'll know it's finally fixed.
Thank you everyone for the comments and advice. Ray

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.
