Buddy of mine just blew up his enclosed trailer and burnt it to the ground w/2 cubs, an outboard, a gen set and all his tools due to gas fumes. Dumb ass.

If Ya take cubs to RPRU and it's inside a bldg., better be prepared to shut off the gas and seal the vent in the tank. Fire code, Ya know!
Worked the Cub display last year at Des Moines and we had more than on disgruntled exhibitor that chose to set up outside in the heat when they could have been inside in the A/C comfort.

We do the same on the 982, 782,1811 and 2072. Just put in one of those little red handled valves Briggs sells for around $8. One of these days I want to put in an inline fuel solenoid shutoff. Why, because I want to.

Back on track. I like the idea for the side panel screws. Much easier than having to get a socket and ratchet. I am going to copy the idea for my 1650 loader tractor.
Thanks for posting.

If one puts the bolts in from the back side, you have studs to hang the side panels on, and use big wing nuts like the old vehicle air cleaners did back in the day, works for me.

I use these.
No extra hardware, or tools needed.
Plus you can really torque them down with just your fingers.
Available at any hardware store, be sure not to get the bigger ones though.

That's what I use and I actually leave the left side knob off most of the time. The spring in the front holds the side panel on just fine and it's easy to pull the panel out just a bit to turn the gas on and off.

I just wanted to make a one piece screw that didn't need washers. Mine don't need washers. No loose parts.

I thought about that, too. Mine are all one piece so I don't have to use washers and wing nuts. No loose parts.

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.
