Default Previous Owner jerry rigging (best of the best!)

John Hall gave the idea on my two-fer thread, so credit to him. We should have a thread of all the crazy things we've uncovered from previous owner jerry rigging (and jury rigging!). I'll go first.

This is the driveshaft from an 1862 I picked up recently. I got the engine running, and noticed a vibration from the drive line area. I pulled the tunnel cover off and found the driveshaft hanging on to the input shaft of the charge pump by a thread! There is a hose clamp around the shaft, holding pressure against a big washer which I guess is supposed to hold the CV joint in place so it reaches the input shaft? I don't know. But this picture was taken after I removed about a half of a mile length of electrical tape that was wrapped around it to further reinforce this stupidity! That hydro plumbing is no laughing matter either...

Already watched handyman corner - oil change. I'm going to have some explaining to do for my coworkers who are looking at me like I'm insane.

I recently had the air filter fall off a Kohler engine,, I thought the screws fell out,,

Well, the 8-32 screws fell out, they had been JB-Weld installed in the carb holes,

I used a 10-32 tap, the epoxy fell right out, perfect threads, I put the correct 10-32 screws in,,,
If the PO had used the correct screws, the air cleaner would have been installed with 10% of the effort of gluing in the wrong screws,,,

Those pesky 10/32 screws are really hard to find...(if you live in Siberia)

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.
