    Cub 60

    That definitely helps. I would say that there is a cheap China knockoff replacement of a Tecumseh carburetor. The screw that is sticking out the side there is the idle mixture adjustment. I can't see it but I would assume that the main adjustment is still built into the bolt holding the bowl on...

    Cub 60

    See if you can get a picture of this replacement carb. It'll be pretty easy to tell whether or not it's a correct Tecumseh carb. Pretty sure they used the same factory carb on most of their engines, ive seen the same one installed on engines varying in power from 3hp all the way to 12...

    ferguson to30 12 volt conversion

    Ah. Guess I wouldn't have known, its broken on my H anyway. Probably has been broken for 30 years or so. Replacing it is something I plan to do in the near future.

    ferguson to30 12 volt conversion

    I most definitely did not think much about gauges. Most tractors of this era have mechanical gauges. On my H, the oil pressure is mechanical (directly from the oil system of the engine in fact) and the temp gauge "sensor" attaches directly inside the block and runs directly to the gauge with a...

    Cub 60

    You got my attention when you mentioned a Farmall H. I just bought one 2 months ago and have enjoyed it quite a bit. Would certainly like to see pictures! Anyway, I tend to "tolerate" Tecumseh engines more than most people. To me, in your video it sounds like its running too lean. Usually the...

    ferguson to30 12 volt conversion

    That is a good point. Something I probably would have considered if the lights on my H didn't already work. And I guess I did forget about electronic gauges, not sure if this machine would have any but my H doesn't have any (other than the ammeter).

    ferguson to30 12 volt conversion

    I'm not sure I would trust the lights to handle 12 volts. The lights on my H are not the ones that would have been on it from the factory.

    ferguson to30 12 volt conversion

    My Farmall H is converted to 12 volts. If you do it right, 12 volts is a great conversion. I see a lot of positives to it. The reason I say "do it right" is because many times I've seen it and it's a complete cobble job, wire splices everywhere and sometimes even holes in the hood to mount an...

    1967 Massey Ferguson 10

    I know of a Massey 10 and a Massey 8 near me, both waiting for me to go buy them and take them home, as if I need 2 more garden tractors. Both have original Tecumseh engines and mower decks. The 10 also comes with a brand new replacement short block Tecumseh as well as parts to rebuild the...

    How Cold Is IT?

    I see this thread makes a return. Temperatures around here have hovered around 30 (although last week it almost hit 50) there is currently snow falling and a small amount of snow on the ground.

    New to cub cadet

    I just noticed something. Definitely not the hood off a 102. Note the forward slant to the front of the hood, matching the grille casting. 102 hood slants backwards, as the 102 had a different grille casting. Combined with the fiberglass dash cowl, I still believe its a 1X4 1X5 hood and dash...

    New to cub needs help

    Looks like you've got a 106, with the hood and dash from a 104, and the rubber seat from a 102. Unless someone's swapped the transmission that serial number tag matches a 1X6/1X7 unit. Very interesting combo, kinda cool nonetheless!

    I think I have an incurable disease

    Dennis, that's what I was thinking. Would make a great snow mover. I really like the 12V conversion they did to it because they did it without cutting anything up or butchering anything. The messiest thing is the ballast resistor ziptied to the coil, I may switch to an internally resisted coil...

    I think I have an incurable disease

    That was my plan. If the replacement arrives in one piece who knows how long it would even function anyway...

    I think I have an incurable disease

    I just went and looked at the ID tag. It says "New Idea Horn Loader". As for the thermostat, apparently Amazon is going to send another one free of charge. We'll see how this "replacement" turns out, but I'm not expecting much.

    Fan really ??

    His ways of doing things are a bit "unconventional" including using a sledgehammer on A siezed k301 engine block so he could get the crankshaft out!! Even so he has done some amazing work, the 4wd articulated Cub has to be one of the coolest builds ive seen. I think my favorite idea of his was...

    I think I have an incurable disease

    Thats quite good news, and an AutoZone opened up locally A few months ago too! People on another Cub forum advised me that one from an auto parts store wouldn't fit on the H,but perhaps they were wrong. Someone did make mention of the higher temp thermostat though. Either way i need something...

    I think I have an incurable disease

    That's the answer I was looking for, although not good news... Amazon had ought to send me a replacement free!

    I think I have an incurable disease

    While I'm talking about the H, I figure I might as well share this picture-perfect moment for you guys... I went on a mission to go grab our old Hay Rake from a back field where we did a little bit of hay. While hitching it up I realized that it's an IH rake, go figure! When I got back to the...

    I think I have an incurable disease

    Ok I'm going to post this here hoping someone can help me... I need guidance to determine if Amazon sent me a brand new $40 piece of junk or not. So I made the discovery that there was way too much coolant flow through the radiator. It became clear that the thermostat is stuck open. So, I...
