    Mower deck cut open for leaves ?

    No, that will just allow the blade on that side to blow them out of the way so they don't go under the deck and get ground up.

    Hydraulic tee for installing rear ports

    Those valves don't do anything useful in the OP's case though...there's no need to do this since there is not a hydraulic cylinder in the front outlet circuit that cannot be removed, like there is on your neighbor's loader tractor. There's nowhere to put valves that large anyway without cutting...

    Hydraulic tee for installing rear ports

    The tees would likely go between the control valve and the lines that go to the front outlets. That kit is the way to go. The hard part of figuring out what fittings, etc are compatible has already been done.

    Monkeying around in Shultzie's garage

    I have one the larger predator horizontal shaft engines on my Mighty Mac chipper. So far so good. A few observations/pointers you may find useful: Change the oil more frequently than the break in procedure says to initially. I changed it after the initial run in and then again at 6 or so hours...

    1978 1450 just.purchased

    The pedal is a brake pedal. Foot-operated hydro units were not a thing in the 1970s. Manuals can be downloaded for free here: http://ccmanuals.info Lots of maintenance and repair info for common issues here: http://www.cubfaq.com/questions.html

    orginal paint

    Rustoleum Gloss Almond is fairly close to IH935 white.

    unsuspected gift..

    All 125s had a blue stripe. What you have there is a previous owner's modification.

    Cub Cadet 782 trouble.... Send help! LOL

    If it isn't getting enough fuel, adjusting the governor will not help. Leave that alone. Did you get an OEM pump or aftermarket? Is the carb clean? What was the issue you were having that made you decide to change the fuel pump?

    pressure

    The charge pump and implement relief pressures are adjusted via shim washers in their respective relief valves. This is not something that would normally change or be wrong unless someone was in there screwing with it, which IMO is fairly unlikely. Not is that something that should make the...

    pressure

    http://www.cubfaq.com/questions.html Read through the links pertaining to 'trunnion' and 'hydro adjustment'. The issue is mechanical linkage.

    orginal paint

    Thanks! I used a supplied air system with a hood that covered my entire head, and a Tyvek painting suit for the rest. The fresh air supply is the only surefire way to prevent exposure. A fan to pull air out of the garage will help. There is some discussion on what 3M respirator cartridges will...

    A Colorado Howdy!

    I mean, anything is possible if you have the skills and tools to adapt it, but it's likely more trouble than it is worth.

    102 main drive belt question

    You have to loosen the nut on the tensioner bolt, item N in this figure in the owner's manual:

    Coil problem?

    Does it have spark when it dies? If so, not an ignition problem. Does pulling the choke help when it tries to die? If so, then there is a fuel issue. Check the valve lash. If it is set too tight, the valves won't be able to close all the way after the engine warms up.

    Cub Cadet 1554 Mower Throws Belt

    Since the deck is adjustable up and down, the pulleys will likely never align in that regard. This is normal. The actual problem is likely one of the following: Worn or incorrect belt Belt tension too low Improper belt routing Missing belt guides Worn spindle, idler, or PTO clutch sheaves

    Cub Cadet 107

    If I were you, I'd paint the flywheel black and then paint the timing marks a contrasting color to make them easy to find in the future when you need to reset the timing.

    No. A Command V-twin is about an inch narrower than an M18. Not really relevant here though, as the Command and Vanguard twins are both considerably wider at the top than the K-series single that came in the tractor originally. Some creative modification of the side panels will be necessary to...

    Help please

    4.80/4.00-8 is the standard size, but 16x6.50-8 is optional and likely what most were equipped with. Either is "correct". 4-ply front tires inflated to the sidewall maximum is the way to go if you have a loader on one of these machines. 2-ply tires do not have a high enough load rating...
