Default The 86 is running again!!

After I got my 86 running and then had to rework the driveline in it...everything was just fine and then the intake lifter/tappet stuck in it.... I tried to get it unstuck for awhile with no luck...another project came up...I had to refinish some antique furniture for my granddaughter that is due in May...so the 86 got pushed around behind the shop with the intent of a rebuild..

Yesterday, I rolled her back into the shop and pulled the head, valve cover, and intake valve and worked the lifter up and down while spraying with carb cleaner and then some PB Blaster...after about 30 minutes of this it broke loose and is working fine now. I cleaned the block and head up, changed the oil, lapped the valves and reinstalled them...put the old head gasket back on just so I could crank it up and it worked fine (only ran it for a minute). Still has the standard piston and very little wear in the cylinder. Ordered a new gasket set for it, should be here by Wed. of next week. Taking the head to have it trued up today. Just giving an update on another old Cub...she's still clicking along!! Thank ya Lord!

Thanks! I made the water mark with a transparent background, I then copy it and paste it into a new layer and adjust the opacity of that layer for the way I want it to look. The "Deep Woods" derives from my business name.

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.
