    Thanks Jeff- I guess I'll put an ad up in the Wanted section. This thing is starting to turn into a money pit!!

    I have a quick question. When I bought my 108, the heat shield that fits over the cylinder head and muffler shield were both off the tractor (I guess the PO took them off, but never put them back on.) Since I have owned it, I have been using it without either of them. Is it still safe to use the...

    Got the parts in today to fix the clutch on my 108. It took about 3 hours from start to finish, but the clutch is back, and actually a lot better than before it went out. Turns out the throw out bearing wasn't as "exploded" as I thought it was. The spacer that sits in front of the bearing...

    Brian and Rodney- I understand your hesitation with this. When I replaced the friction disk on my 108, I was a bit nervous as well. But everything was fine! The hardest part for me was getting the last coil pin back in, as you have to compress the loading spring to gain access to the last...

    Hi Frank and Wayne- I thought they were, but I wanted to make sure before I messed up. Glad I have the service manual, because evidently you can't rely on the parts lookup for nothing but part numbers. Thank you both for the help.

    I've been looking through the service manual for my 108 on how to put the clutch back together, when I ran into conflicting sources. On the parts lookup from Cub, they show the teaser spring going before the spacer, directly in front of the throwout bearing, as shown in 'Picture 1': In...

    Hi Rodney- It was pretty easy to tell in my case- the bearing basically blew apart. It had been making noise for a few months now, so I should have replaced it sooner, but didn't. Currently, I have absolutely no clutch at all. In most cases it is the friction disk in between the pressure...

    Turns out that I needed more than just a throwout bearing. I also needed a teaser spring and the spacer, as it wallowed it out pretty good. Will post pics when I get the parts in. I ordered everything from CC Specialties, as they had everything I needed for a good price. For everything...

    Got some seat time on the 108 today. Mowed quite a bit. After I was done, discovered I need a throwout bearing, as I lost all clutching. I seen on CC Specialties an upgraded throwout bearing; can anyone tell me how good it is??

    682 cub cadet no compression

    Hi Weston, OK, let me see if I have this straight. You placed a piece of wire in each cylinder, and the wire didn't move, correct? I figured the starter was good still. The compression test with your finger is fine- I've done it myself many times. If it doesn't have compression, and you...

    682 cub cadet no compression

    Charlie- I'm sorry. Had to tell him before it slipped my mind. I have a bad habit of forgetting things. Best to move the conversation to the main forum- Charlie done yelled at me!

    682 cub cadet no compression

    Allen, No I'm not sure- Just going by what Weston is saying. Here is how I came to my conclusion: 1.) Weston states that the engine has no compression, while he cranks on it. Since the engine cranks, this tells me the starter is presumably functioning correctly. 2.) Weston also states...

    Sears Suburban 10

    Hi Earl, I know it's been a while, but I've been slammed here lately. I haven't really had time to do anything. Keep us informed about that Suburban. Even though it may not idle well, my bet is that a good tune up and maybe a carb clean/rebuild will take care of it. I've put the Sears on the...

    682 cub cadet no compression

    Weston, Welcome to the forum! If neither piston is moving, you have two thrown rods. If the block isn't busted, it is time for a rebuild. Also, this should be on the main forum, as the 682 is a garden tractor, not a lawn tractor. Not trying to ride your case, just letting you know...

    Sears Suburban 10

    Hi Earl, Thanks for the corrections on the attachments. Don't worry too much about the pics- time has gotten a bit tight around here (as well as money), so the Sears is on hold for a little bit. Hopefully I can save up the money to buy an engine for it by the end of the year, as well as new...

    Hi Harry, I have a thought- do the VR's that don't have a ground 'G' terminal ground themselves through the frame, since they are mounted to it? Not sure if they do or don't, just a thought.

    Sears Suburban 10

    Hi Gerry, I've always heard these old Sears were tough, which is why I scratch my head and wonder how the original 10 HP Tecumseh blew up. I do enjoy this thing quite a bit, and can't wait to find a new engine for it. Hi Marty, That's interesting; I didn't know the implements were...

    Hi Earl and Marlin, Thank you both. The support is very much appreciated. I hope I make the right choice, as this will help me obtain my PhD. That is the ultimate goal!

    Hi Earl, The hardest part about setting them is finding the timing mark on the flywheel. Sometimes it's covered with surface rust so bad you have to pull the cover to find it. Once I find it, I take a wire wheel and go over it LIGHTLY, then use a marker pen to mark it to make it easier to...
