Yeah, I like the big K321. It smoothed out considerably w/o the balance gears.

Saturn very nice work and attention to the details. I forgot if I asked this earlier but do you plan on installing the mule drive? You're going to run into clearance issues with the bolt installed for the steer axle pivot. I don't want to be a negative nelly just know how much work all this is! And It's looking too nice to use, beautiful paint work, I like the contrast on the motor

Your words were hanging in the air while I edited this. What exactly happens up front with the mule? Does a QA bar strike the bolt or is it part of the frame? Don't mean to be lazy, I just need to dig mine out of the barn and have a look. I don't mind notching the mule frame out.

Thank you.

The mule won't be able to go back far enough for the qa mechanism to latch. It will hit the nut because it protrudes further than the stock pin would because when it's in there it is flush. Now, this happened to me on my 108, not nf like yours but I imagine same results. I have mine flipped so bolt head is facing front, and had to grind half if the bolt head down to get it to latch. I just wanted you to be aware because I saw how your oil pan hangs down right behind it and looks like there's no way to get it out with engine in. I would say flip the bolt like I did but first go dig out the mule and try it and let us know. Hope you weren't editing your post from expletives!

This is coming along great. I really liked the homage to the launch vehicle at the beginning. It makes me want to start tearing into mine ASAP.

I'm working on it as much as I can this weekend, after the honey-do list of course!

Saturn- the attention to detail and the paint is truly amazing. I am just in shock at how nice of a job you did! That's better than museum quality. Everything consider doing a resto for another forum member?

Considering the length of time it takes him to do a restore, I would hope they wouldn't want it back for about 4 years.

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.
