    QA36A Snow Blower Bad Shaft

    None of the above...replace the shaft. New ones available here: https://www.ccspecialties.org/implementparts_1.html

    CC 102 mulching blades

    You will not find any high vacuum blades, or really any blades other than the OEM style, for those triangle-shaped decks.

    129 low power at full throttle

    Item 4, is the condenser wire connected to the negative side of the coil- the same side the points are on?

    129 low power at full throttle

    If you are going to take the head off to replace the gasket, sand it flat with 220 grit wet/dry sandpaper on a sheet of glass. Odds are it is no longer flat within 0.003" as specified in the service manual, and it will just blow again. The service manual is a free download from Kohler's...

    129 low power at full throttle

    Have you checked the valve lash?

    Rear lift hitch

    Narrow frame 3point will not fit a 149. Only the lower bracket is the same.

    Packard 56 Series Connectors

    Amazon and eBay both have a selection.

    Why won't my tractor run??????

    The engine needs spark, fuel, and compression to run. The spark also has to be at the right time. Assuming that if it was running before and it has spark, you haven't done anything to affect the timing, so that leaves fuel and compression. Is the gas good, or is it old gas that has been...

    New Walbro Carb... Engine Still Running Rich

    The jets on that are almost certainly not adjustable. Sounds like it might be jetted a bit too rich, or the float level needs to be set differently such that the float closes the needle at a lower gas level in the float bowl. A plugged air filter will also do this, as Ron is alluding to.

    Why won't my tractor run??????

    What model tractor are we dealing with here? It is difficult to offer specific advice with no details provided.

    Stator magnets

    Once broken it will never be the same again. Time for another flywheel, unfortunately.

    CCC 682 dealer model

    MTD made yellow and white 82 series tractors for independent Cub Cadet dealerships and red ones for IH dealerships at the same time after IH ended production until IH ceased to exist in 1985. They are the same tractor with different color paint. Yours is an early one that still has leftover IH...

    Sand Blasting setup

    I would not sandblast an assembled engine, transaxle, or any other non-ferrous parts. Aluminum parts can be blasted with glass beads. Electrolysis is still my go-to for most ferrous metal cleaning. It does take longer, but you can hook everything up and walk away for awhile, leaving time to do...

    129 low power at full throttle

    Check timing and valve lash. If the timing is off, the engine will have no power but may otherwise run ok. http://mgonitzke.net/cubcadet/tools/static_timing.pdf

    Question on kehein carb

    The 2284 is probably late enough in production that it has a non-adjustable idle jet. Only the earlier versions are adjustable. Due to how lean these are set up to run for emissions, the carb has to be perfectly surgically clean or they will not run right. If it won't run without the choke on...

    106 vs 127 vs 147 Newbie Questions

    Those smooth rib front tires are going to be absolutely awful in the snow. Not sure what all of your planned uses are for the tractor, but if snow plowing is amongst them, you'll want a more aggressive tread. These will do well in all conditions. I have them on all of my tractors, and they...

    Magnum engines

    Carb might be different but I don't think anything else is. All other major parts are the same part number as an M18.

    PISTON RING SIZE

    Terrible advice. Why go to the trouble of rebuilding the engine and then do this instead of spending $20 on another aftermarket ring set?
  19. mgonitzke

    DeWitt Michigan. Have 4, always looking for more!!! Wrenching on the 1864 today!

    While you are in there, I would do the PTO end crank seal, both head gaskets, and put in the updated breather cover/gasket kit. That crank seal almost certainly went bad because there is a blown head gasket.

    PISTON RING SIZE

    Can't buy individual rings that I am aware of. If you have a lawn and garden place that carries Stens, you might be able to get a set, but in my experience it has been awhile since most brick and mortar stores have stocked K-series internal parts like that. Your mileage may vary. You are...
