    Thankyou David Kirk, certainly this info you provided, help me to understand balance characteristics.I would have never thought that a thicker walled piston pin would be doing more damage than good. Changing what Kohler established for it's reciprocating mass.

    I could be wrong, Michael Smith but to me that Inner bearing race seems to be machined on a excentric? Is there also a excentric locking collar to hold this part on? I'm not farmiliar with this part.

Was it Einstein that said Insanity is doing something over an over the same way and expecting a different result? Guess I'm there. Charlie, Are there too many Mega...

    Finally doing a 100!

    Nice restore you have going on there! I thought about the felt thing or rubber when I got my weights from Hydro's kid a couple of years ago. My 122 is a worker in the snow we get up here. I went with rubber.I figured the rubber wouldn't absorb water, hence rust. I just used masking tape to hold...

    122 is a narrow frame and it has been pretty much running like clockwork.

    Been in the teens and single digits for what seems like 3 weeks here now.Through this time we haven't been getting much snow,maybe 2ft since the white's been fly'n. Went back to the man cave to fire up the 122, would turn over fine and fire once in a while but wouldn't stay running.I changed out...

    I don't know about other models but on the 122 it is very snug,especially when trying to get inside the windbreaker. This year I've moved the seat to the farthest back position and with pack boots on it's still a bummer to get inside. A little tip, don't put the key into the ignition on a 122...

    Digger, I've got one of those IH WindBreaker Cabs, Top and Back Complete on my Cub 122. I've had it on there since the 60's where we use to swap it off and on for summer and winter use. Because the back curtain/window arrangement would get gently to fit into the box and stored in the attic of...

    Digger, Castrol Edge Synthetic, O'Reilys Auto Parts, Think'n with your dipstick, what ever, still a dopey commercial! My 122 cub cadet uses Conventional Pennzoil. Hey nice look'n snow machines! I really like the way the tire chains look all even. Mine are all uneven and loose.

    Kraig, I remember reading about you looking for your dip stick. I'm thinking it was right about the same time as that Dumb O'riley Auto Store television commercial "yer thinking with yer dipstick". I'll bet you were pretty angry it "oiled down" such a nice rebuild. I like to use a product in a...

    Kraig, any idea who's presstine cub was pictured when you posted for my head stud concern? Very very nice. Where can I find more pics of this Fine Machine? On another note, here in Buffalo,N.Y. mother nature isn't expected to drop white slushy stuff until the AM. It's 51 degs here right now...

    Kraig, Frank and Wayne thanks for your helpful comments. It is by opinion that studs and a nut are far superior than a head bolt. Using a stud eliminates the wear on the internal threads in the cast iron block. It's my belief there's more distortion with the top of the jug and the bore for that...

    Has anyone tried using studs instead of head bolts to cure them peskey leaking head gaskets?

    Got the first light dusting of snow today in Buffalo, N.Y. I guess it's time to move the Lawn machines to the back of the garage and the snow machine to the front. Since I last posted here I've Retired! One of the joys of that is I'll have cub time to remove the snow in my own yard and I don't...

    Can you really place a number of hours run time or years of use on a connecting rod? Are the con rods of today just as "sturdy" as those of yesteryear? Please then inform me of that brand. Also, will shot peening increase it's life expectancy. Thanx, Mike

    Ok, so we're finally getting enough snow here in Buffalo, N.Y. to attack with the 122 and the 42 inch snowthrower. My question is How can I find out if there are any cubbers or cubberett's from this forum nearby me?

    Kraig, what in the world is that electrical box looking thingie in the picture with the safety glassed "suits" and the guy packing/un packing the cub? Junction box for pyrotechnics, perhaps?
