Finally some parts starting to trickle in on this project. After pondering
pulling the brake apart for an O ring. I did what I always knew I would do and took the brake apart today and replaced that ring. It was a bit of struggle but once I got the O ring moving a bit the whole works came right out. Wrapped a bunch of rubber bands around a slightly undersized Allen wrench. Stuffed it in the brake puck and wrangled it around till the seal on the O ring broke. Put the butt end of my awesome magnetic flashlight in the hole and just kept messing with it and eventually it slid out. Made me happy. DSCN1960.jpg DSCN1959.jpg DSCN1958.jpg. Got the seals and carrier gaskets in the mail today for the rear end. Next up get that all sealed up. Ken |

Haven't updated this in awhile. Not because it isn't moving along. Just
figured cleaning all the little parts isn't to exciting to the general population. I on the other hand find it interesting. Got some numbers from the machine shop and will do the bore .030 over to deal with the nasty gouge that started this project. Crank and valves are in real good shape. Just a good polish and should be good there. Parts are in the mail for the internal engine stuff. Got a nice bunch of parts from Parts by Jeff in the mail last week. What a pleasure doing business with him. After being enlightened about coils from a different thread lately I did some checking into the one for this 125. Primary read 3.8 ohms and the secondary 8000. Do these coils gradually become less effective and effect the way it runs or is it either they work or they don't kind of deal? Hope you all are wintering well and working on your tractors. KenDSCN1979.jpg |

Due to the extreme conditional differences between bench testing a coil and what it endures under actual operating conditions (i.e. heat, cold, dampness, vibration, etc.),
I don't know that there is any way for a person to analyze a coil's efficiency nor predict it's demise. I'd equate it to the human body, it's as good as it's gonna be on the day you were born and it's all downhill after that. |

Finally got around to putting gaskets and seals in the rear end of this
tractor yesterday. Still waiting on the engine to get done at the machine shop. Fingers crossed for next week to get it back. Found a fella who will weld up the trunion for me and then the rear end will be ready to go back in the frame. Filling in the wait time by continuing to clean up parts and shine up and replace a few terminal ends on the electrical. QUESTION: Is there a reason a guy would have to paint the engine after the machine work? At this point in life I am not worried about shiny or anything. My joy comes from working machines after I fix em up. Ken DSCN1985.jpg DSCN1986.jpg DSCN1987.jpg |

Good Morning All. Finally got around to getting the trunion welded
up yesterday at a neighbors a mile or so down the road. I had noticed while cleaning up the frame that where the fork on the mower deck rides on the rock shaft. It had worn a pretty good size groove in the shaft. Figured while we were at it. might well fix that to. Loaded up the frame and hauled it down the road as well. It filled in real nice. I know myself well enough to know that while bouncing around mowing on this place I would have been thinking about that worn rock shaft. Not anymore, yeah. Will putz around this week putting the rear end back in this project. And maybe someday will have an engine back here and tackle that next. Slowly but slowly were getting there.

Believe it or not this project is still going on. It has just been in stall
mode waiting on an engine to be finished up at the machine shop. Finally got it back so I can start putting it back together this week. Quite an ordeal it seems. Makes a guy wonder how times he wants to go this deep in another tractor. I still am a bit puzzled on painting this engine when I am done with assembly. I have read a ton of stuff on the archives here and my plan is to just rattle can this and move on. Money and weather and all kinds of things play into that decision. I found cans of Federal Yellow Case Iron Guard at the Case dealer in town. They told me that it would not hold up to the engine heat however. I kind of had in my mind from reading that it would. Anyone out there have some first hand experience to steer me one way or the other? Hope you all are well. Thanks Ken |

The paint will hold up just fine on the 80% of the block that don't get all that hot like the fins on the head and on the upper part of the block proper, but I really would not paint the head, just let what paint you might get on the fins of the block go ahead and burn off, no big deal.
I would not have accepted that welding job. From here, it does not look square, as in wider on the left side than on the right side, but then again it may just be the angle of the picture, You should have just got the little laser square cut corner section from CCS and had that welded on, would have been a much better job and would have looked nicer also. Oh, and don't paint the fins on the hydro. Is your machine shop going to re-assemble the engine or are you? |

Thanks for the help on the paint. I am doing the assembly.

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.
