    Cub 1440 decals - how best to remove

    "Generally" the decals will come off easier with heat from a heat gun. However- most very old decals will just come apart in small chunks. There is a spray-on "decal and adhesive remover" that I have never had much success with. A bit more aggressive remover is a "Decal Eraser wheel". This is...

    K-301 carburetor

    I used this aftermarket carb on my rebuilt K241. I did exchange the choke butterfly and shaft, with the ones from my original carburetor. The issue was the choke operating cable was reversed (choke off- with cable pulled out), because the lever is on the wrong side of the shaft. Now it works...

    Paint removal method for painted identification plate

    For many different ink-printed ID plates, I have used water-slide decal paper that fits into a regular ink-jet printer. I scan and clean up an original plate, picture, or whatever it takes. Then, print it out. Afterwards, I spray with 2-3 VERY LIGHT coats of clear (spray can) with the last...

    My first yellow GT, rough 147

    IF you have an original carb, with original float- AND you are using regular unleaded gas...... you need to set the float (closed) height 1/64" LOWER than original spec. This is because the new fuels are not as DENSE as the old fuels these carbs were designed for. You need MORE modern fuel...

    Things that Kill my Cub time.

    This little guy hit me in the helmet at 75MPH on the interstate (coming home from a VTX Tech-meet in Ohio) . After a few seconds... I saw these feathers floating up behind my fairing... so I looked down, and there was this gold finch. Unfortunately... he didn't make it.

    New tires for 4x4, 1500 truck

    Another vote for the Firestone Destinations.... I have used them on all my Explorers (4) since 1999... Usually get about 60K per set. I rotate them with every oil change (5K).

    Spray Guns

    Mix ratios depend on brand and type of paint... Google the paint manufacturer and type of paint.... and you should find the mix ratio.

    1440 plastic hood and sides

    I had a '96 1430 with the plastic hood. It was an outdoor tractor - so was badly faded. I taped off the decals, removed the numbers (peeling/bad)... and watersanded it with 600G (on a DA), then handsanded with 1000G then finished with 1500. This was then buffed with a 9" wool pad and 3M #85...

    Greetings from central Pennsylvania!

    I've had this machine since 1996... in 2020, I did a "rebuild"... and then put her to work... The headlight panel is simply a piece of 20ga sheet metal with a couple large holes so the headlight housings fit flush. A couple screws and J-nuts for sheet metal... hold the housings just fine...

    Greetings from central Pennsylvania!

    I made a new headlight panel- to replace the original behind the grille. That way, I wasn't ruining an original part. I then mounted (2) LED Motorcycle driving lights... To say they "light up the neighborhood" is somewhat of an understatement....
