Default A 1250 followed me home

It is pretty complete, with side covers too. Pretty clean in around the engine and no rust on any surfaces. It was missing a coil and condenser, carburetor was half missing, and clogged fuel line. It came with a 44A deck all in good shape. I went into my spare parts and put all the necessary stuff on it and it cranks and tries to start. I see a little more smoke than I’d like to see puffing out the breather on the side. The carb is suspect, I borrowed it from the 1000 I picked up last weekend. I have 50/50 luck with cleaning gross carbs. This tractor is in overall good shape. It’s definitely going to be a keeper for me.

Good score on the 1250!

If the engine needs an overhaul I have a standby K241AQS engine that would bolt right in. It has a .020 piston in it. Any issues with power since it’s a hydro if I put that in it temporarily? The 109 had hydro with a K241. It looks like those were pretty effective tractors.

I don't see any problems putting a K241aqs in a 1250 does your 241 have the starter like the quietlines have or is it the starter generator setup. Might be kind of cool like a 1050 hydro QL it would be unique.

It’s a QL K241, with gear starter. No starter generator. I have a k321 block too that needs bored. I might build that up to replace it and have 14hp. Or if it does ok with 10HP maybe I’ll just keep it. I’m going to change the oil first in the engine that’s in it to make sure it has 30 wt in it, just in case someone put too thin oil in it and that’s why it smokes. I doubt that’ll fix it but it’s worth a shot I guess.

It was not the oil, it's a tired engine. I pulled it and dropped in the bored .020 over K241AQS so it's "temporarily" a 1050 QL. I got everything in and connected last night and went to bed at midnight. This evening I'll fire it up and play around with it. Maybe give it a bath and take some glamour pics.

We have fire in the hole, it runs pretty good. I just need to tune the carb a little. It shakes quite a lot at midrange between idle and full throttle which I guess is normal. I'm going to look over the driveline to make sure that's buttoned up, and check the timing before putting it to work.

I forgot to mention, when I swapped the motor, there was only one bolt holding that K301 in... It has brand new looking iso mounts too.

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.
