Default 128 in New Freedom PA

Greetings from New Freedom PA.

I have rescued a 128 from the dead and I have brought her back to life to mow again.

I was given the 128 for some block laying and told I could have it for free if I could make it run.

24 years in the Seabees taught me a thing or 2 about making due with what you got.

Ive got the carb sorted out, but the overheating issues have me stumped. My gas tank sounds like a steam kettle after 30 minutes of mowing.

I'll keep plugging away.

Default Over heating

You could check the shrouds. Sometimes critters find it a great place to camp/nest causing air flow to come to a halt.

My 100 would boil the gas in the gas tank. I would check the timing by checking the points gap, and I would check for air flow through the head and jug. No air flow, then you probably have trash packed around the jug, maybe from critters or from years of grass collecting between the fins. It wouldn't hurt to take the tins off and give the fins a good cleaning. Sometimes critters will build a nest in the blower housing.

Default Cooling

I've checked the fins and have had all the tins off. All is clear. I think I am missing a plate of metal that goes over the front of the motor to the grill . Would this have anything to do with the cooling ???

Seabees,
Thanks to today's technology I turned my small lap top upside down and notice that you may have several of the heat shields missing. Or maybe this was a picture where you had them removed? So that could be causing some heat going up to the fuel tank area. Maybe you could find another parts tractor or get tins from someone on here to reduce the heat problem.
Thanks for posting and good luck with your tractor, it looks to be a good one.
Regards,
Chris

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.
