jimbob200521,
Nice looking 127! Your making good progress.
A good repair manual can be your best friend for one of these projects.
Regards,
Chris

Things were so gummed up in there before, no wonder it wasn't working. Hopefully my parts (carb rebuild kit included) will arrive today and I can get this thing back on and going again! I was running out of cleaner and time so there are just a couple places where I couldn't get the paint off. I also did the fuel bowl while I had things apart, it probably needed it worse than the carb did

Enjoy the pics

Looking good! Thanks for the pics!

Well a small update, I'm one step closer. I got my air cleaner parts in the mail today and cleaned them up some. I'm going to head to Tractor Supply tomorrow and pick up some CC Yellow paint and give the back plate a yellow paint job before I put her on the 127, I may do a couple other parts too but we'll see what the day brings. If I have time, I want to give the cover a coat of black while I'm at it, too. Anyway, here are a couple pics of the parts I got after a quick Carb Cleaner bath and scrub.

BTW, thank you to ksanders for responding to my wanted add and helping out with these parts, it's appreciated and I'll give 'em a good home!

Did a little more work today, spent the evening sanding and giving a couple rusty, rusty parts a quick paint job while they were off the 127. Not showroom quality by any means but far better than the rust covered monstrosities they were.

Another update, no pics tonight, though, but I did get a lot of work done, I'll have to get some pics taken and posted tomorrow.

I got my parts in today, finished rebuilding the carb and fuel bowl. Reinstalled the carb on the tractor along with the fuel bowl and new air cleaner and fuel line. Filled her with gas, turned the gas on, and no leaks, good so far! Drained the old oil, added fresh SAE 30, and closed things up. Moment of truth, drum roll please...I turned the key and dead battery. Darn. Ok, so I get it hooked up to jumper cables and turn the key once again. Fires right up!! For about 2 seconds and boom! Spark plug shoots out. I was afraid of that, I'm going to pick up my Helio-Coil tomorrow and unless something else pops up, I'll have some pics and video of her purring tomorrow for you guys.

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.
