    dealing with a 2130 trans

    I did a little research on these units a while back trying to help someone on another Cub forum. This is apparently THE biggest issue with these machines. People put it in gear and use the go pedal like its a hydrostatic pedal, when it isn't. These machines are only supposed to be driven with...

    K161 governor mess

    I followed the disassembly instructions just as the manual has them listed. This was not the first time I had disassembled a K series either. The governor, though nonfunctional, was still the last piece to be removed.

    K161 governor mess

    I did not, I believe that is the washer you can see laying on the engine block behind the governor in my pictures of it installed. The issue I see with the screw in your image is that it is way too long. I know that on the larger engines they use that long screw, and it sits towards the edge of...

    K161 governor mess

    This is the screw that holds the gear in place. It has a single washer, if I install it without the washer the gear will hit the screw. I test fitted the replacement governor in the engine and it fit fine, and worked fine when I spun it by hand.

    K161 governor mess

    I'll have to take a picture when I get home later. It didn't take me very long to find out that the governor was MIA, I very quickly noticed that there was no resistance at all on the governor arm. Will get a picture of that retaining screw when I get home. No need to doubt your markings...

    K161 governor mess

    In October 2020 I brought home a '61 Original with a rusty deck and big wide ag tires for $500. I have realized that this machine was a lot more of a project than what the seller claimed. They were a father and son with quite a lot of Cubs and Cub parts laying around, seemed trustworthy enough...

    I think I have an incurable disease

    My H suffered a hydraulic failure today. The seal blew out on the left side cylinder and leaked a bunch of fluid on the ground. It then somehow resealed itself enough to hold the bucket up. I dragged out an air compressor and aired up the rear tire that went flat on me, and went for a spin. Come...

    Model number

    The fenders and the all metal dash tell me its a 102.

    Bring it on...

    I don't plan to be using my 107 for mowing or snow removal, but I can say that the lights definitely would make it possible to see the mower deck. As well as keep them clear of the snow chute. As a side note, I would bet that a disadvantage of the LED headlights is that they won't produce any...

    Bring it on...

    When I wanted lights on my 107 In opted to go for mounting them beside the dash tower in some fashion (it would've killed me to molest the headlight bezel to add lights into it), preferably without drilling any holes. I achieved this by cutting and bending a long thin piece of aluminum sheet...

    My K-301 A

    I have seen numerous people talk about pulling apart a 301 from a 126 or 127 and finding balance gears in it. But hey, who knows I guess...

    My K-301 A

    I do not know specific spec numbers, but 47138B is probably a Cub Cadet spec engine. According to the service manual the "47" refers to a k301. Application is referring to what sort of equipment the engine is mounted to. This will affect the specifics of the engine found in the model number...

    Starting a rebuild my dad never got to start.

    Welcome to the forum! There's lots of great people here and lots of info. Couple things I notice right away looking at your pictures. In the photo you've used as your avatar, I can see the side of the front grille. Just from that grille I can tell you've got either a 70 or 100. Upon looking at...

    My K-301 A

    That is not the case. I pulled apart a k301 back in the spring and it had balance gears. Balance gears could be found in any K series from the k241 up to the k341, but it was dependent on the spec and application. From what I understand Cub Cadet never used any k241 with balance gears. However...

    Why a 3/4 gas tank

    I do believe its a baffle, its not empty space. Fuel can still flow into the space behind it. Kohler put them in the tanks in order to lessen the sloshing of fuel as you drive. Large tanker trucks use baffles on a much larger scale for the same reason.

    1953/54 Farmall Cub?

    Doesn't look like a bad machine if you can get it running. Mid mount mower deck, and I see its got the hydraulic lift too. Missing exhaust pipe, just like my Farmall H was. Looks like the wiring is anything but stock so that may present some issues. Lastly I agree with Greg on the year 1958. I...

    Where in North America is Jim, and what Cub Cadet items has he found there?

    Buffalo New York? You'll be less than an hour from me! I'll confirm its a lot colder here than it probably is in Key West!

    Am I asking too much?

    I'm gonna agree on the price being a little steep. I paid $1000 for my H with a front end loader not running, all I knew was that it spun with a hand crank and had compression, and had some clean but dark oil. 4 hours later I had it running. If the wiring is an issue its easy enough to run a...

    International 300U

    I'll also agree on the price. I paid $1000 for my H with loader. Pretty much condition unknown other than it turned over with a hand crank and had compression. The clutch could definitely be an issue though.
