UPDATE !
Okay, she is all back together again. It took a little more time than expected. Heres why.
As I said. Ordered new heads, coils, starter, seals, yadda yadda. I had also ordered a new kill wire assy. I installed everything, double checks clearances, air gap etc. The engine fired right up..ok great I thought. Well, still no power. First thing I thought of was "oh crap! Lew asked me about the cam" but I measured it and I had both cylinders the first time I put the new push rod in it. The pto ran and all. So, I started checking spark. Had good spark. I pulled plugs. Uh oh! One wet one dry. What could this be??? Pulled then engine again. Took off blower housing. Air gap still good. Not sure why I thought to do this but I pulled the kill wire and ohmed it out. One side "while connected to coils" showed open. The other side. Closed. Brand new kill wire from briggs with one defective diode. So anyway. I got her all back together. Fired up! BOTH CYLINDERS! YAY. So I cut the front grass hood still off just in case. Ran terrific. Lots of power. Very very happy!

PS, I should add. the thing that brought me to the kill wire was that when I shut off the key the tractor hesitated to shut down. The fuel solenoid is what was shutting it down. The kill wire had worked before all the work was done.

Yeah,I get it George. Trust me, very familiar with stamped rockers. I was just sayin Briggs did this to go cheap.

The new ones are separated so when you go to adjust them, they twist almost to the point that the rod can and has fallen out of the rocker. The old rocker type had much less twist.

In any event I did get them adjusted obviously and should be fine for many years. It was a fun project and I am happy with the results. Now that everything is running correctly the new to me 1641 will get much seat time as it will now be my go to cutter. This will give the 126 a break and it will be coming into the shop for refurbishment once the 100 is finished.

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.
