Thanks Mooner, I am hoping to have my piston and rings Monday or Tues. Then I can pretty much finish it up, with the exception of some minor things.

Got my new piston and rings in today. Got the rings gapped correctly this time. I got a little over zealous on the compression ring of my other set

I lubed up the cylinder with oil and lubed up the piston and rings with oil and everything went together nicely. I have to get some sandpaper and get the head flattened from having it surfaced. Grrrrrr I also scored a Cast Iron oil pan and am expecting it this week I hope. I should also be getting some new sand blasting nozzles in and I can start getting the sheet metal and engine outter parts cleaned up and ready for paint. After that all I have to do is get the stuff to rebuild the clutch and to rebuild the PTO.

The sun is finally shining for the first time in days. NO RAIN!! Time to work on the motor some more. Today was paint day and minor assembly of tins. I also finished surfacing the head correctly after the machine shop messed it up.







With some of the tins and linkage assembled:




Can anyone see what I forgot to do in this pic?


I also was finally able to get the gas tank painted again for the third time. So far third time is the charm .

I scrolled back up and saw you have a pic of it taped, haha. I'll let some other folks playing along at home toss out some guesses from here before my brilliance makes a fool of me further.

Install the s/g bracket before putting the pulley on? If I remember right the bolt won't go in with the pulley in the way.

That was my answer too, that is what I get for staying outside all day enjoying the nice weather! In the last month I have disassembled 2 motors and vividly remember that darn s/g pulley being in the way of the bolt.

Dwayne you motor is looking very nice, paint looks great! I am still waiting on the machine shop and some parts to come in....waiting sucks!

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.
