Default Brackets, carb question, and general pics of my "O"
Posting some pics. Looks like the wire to connect the carb to the control unit.

Also anyone know what the brackets under the tractor are for? Mower deck?

And more brackets on the front... no clue what these are for.

Rear battery holder pic because it made me laugh.

Not sure what you mean about the "wire to the control unit".... Unless you are stating the throttle control rod to the governor arm is missing. It in fact is....

The brackets behind the front axle on the frame are for a mower deck.

The ones on the side of the grille housing are whats left of the steel mount for a rubber Grote work light someone installed, and I guess ripped off. There were lights on it....

This thing is pretty rough.....
But, we've seen worse.

I will remove the mounts as I dont have a cutting deck and dont plan on using old light mounts for anything.

I ordered a carb rebuild kit (why not...) and a spark plug and Brillman wire for it.

Any tips on getting the new cable the correct length between the governor arm and the throttle? Is is safe to use some small stainless braided cable I have laying around the workshop?

No, no, no.... you have to get another control rod. It isn't a cable, or a wire. It is a specific length part. Ask around, or look up the part number and search. They may still be available new, but I was thinking that one is NLA from Kohler, but that doesn't mean they are non existent new. Just not as easy to order. I'm sure you can find one.

jaykhjr,

This is what you are looking for (circled in dark blue). These are not generic across all kohlers, so be sure to get the one for the O (K161).

I PM'd you a link. Not cheap but I think it might be the right part.

Thanks again sir!

Be sure to do your own homework on your engine model because I don't want to be responsible for you buying the wrong part, but I believe this is the part. you just need to cross check it.

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.
