yep, I remember reading that. Currently it is slightly below 32 here, and it's only gonna get colder, so can't hurt to stick with 10w30 for the winter and then come Springtime I will change it out for straight 30.

Okay, picked up 2 quarts of fresh 10w30, and a suicide knob. Already installed the knob, doing the oil change Saturday. I'll check back in once the fresh oil is in the engine and see if the white smoke clears up.

Thank you guys for the help figuring this issue out!

Yep I've heard quite the stories about them from my neighbors (who are all much older than me). Around here we call them a suicide knob but I know there are more terms for them

Really I just bought it because I have one on my 106 and really like it, so I finally got one for the 107 too. Only issue is I had to stick a piece of old fuel line under the wheel between it and the bracket in order to keep it in place.

Granted it's just a cheap simple one, so it's not that big a deal.

In my youth, I was pulled over by an officer with my girl alongside of me,
and a spinner/neckers knob on my steering wheel.
As he asked for my license, I asked him why he stopped me?
He said "I noticed you were driving with one arm around your girl"
I said well officer, if I used both arms, I couldn't drive!
He held a stern face and looked at my license, then he started laughing, but quickly stopped and said I understand, but do drive with both hands on the wheel, now have a good day, but If I observe you driving unsafely again,I'll write you a violation,------ never mentioning the Neckers knob

I quickly realized that you were 100% correct in saying that you can't drive with both hands on the wheel, assuming that your car was a manual. Gotta keep the right hand free for shiftin' (or left if you come from Europe I guess)

Them were the days when a cop could cut you some slack.
The way things are now, if he doesn't bust you and you continue down the road ending up in some predicament, hjs a$$ ends up in just as much trouble as you.

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.
