    Charlie your preaching to the choir. I try to buy from sponsors when I can. I have regularly checked your site and Chris's, and saw neither of you had any. I wish that Madison's and Holtz's could have a better site that listed what parts they have.

On occasion there has been one on flea-bay, but you can't imagine how much they end up selling for. Does anybody make these as an aftermarket part or in...

    Grease gun suggestions

    After looking in vain for an American made grease gun (wife thinks I am overdoing it, but that another matter)I finally stopped the madness after finding a John Deere labeled pistol grip gun (yes it's powder coated green, but I checked with Cub Cadet and they didn't have one). It's made in India...

    Grease gun suggestions

    In the market for another grease gun as my last one gave up the ghost. I don't want an air gun, and don't need an electric. I know that there two basic types a lever operated or a pistol grip. My last was a lever type. Are grease guns pretty much the same other than some are very cheaply...

    While troubleshooting my electrical problem on my mod 70 can I swap out my voltage regulator with other narrow frame units? Are they all the same?

    Well I had two issues with my 70. Overheating and an electrical probelem causing the voltage regulator to smoke. I know they are unrelated so I pulled field wire to stop the contacts from burning when I pressed my start button and concentrated on the overheating. I replaced the points and...

    Well it immediately started right up I didn't even need to choke it (unusual for me). Ran super good. Mowed the small front lawn, and hated to stop. I am letting it cool then the retorque.

    Well I bought my first torque wrench, and replaced my first head gasket. It's great having the tools yourself. No biggy for most of you, but something for me. The biggest part for me was reattaching the the shrowd and the hardware that wraps around the cylinder what a pain getting all the...

    Torque wrench

    It sounds like for me the (aged)novice that a new beam torque wrench would be best. Especially after seeing that most beam torque wrenches sellers are charging so much on the shipping that I could by a new one. I appreciate all the comments. I am trying to slowly amass the tools needed to work...

    Torque wrench

    I think it's time I bought a torque wrench. My main use will be for working on Cub Cadets. Not having the luxury of buying a real good one. I wondered about an inexpensive one from Sears. They have on for $29.99 3/8 with an adapter for 1/2 and it has a range of 0-75 ft lbs. Or even a used one...
