    Frank, The owners manual calls for a .25 gap. I didn't check your link yet. Nic I did change the condensor when I changed the coil. The trouble is it ran worse after I cleaned the carburator, rinsed out the fuel tank, replaced the spark plug (the spark plug wire was replaced about 1 year...

    Nic, Harry and Dennis, The shop I mentioned said that they would look for a good used carburator first. If they couldn't find one, they said that they would have to order a new one. I haven't authorized them to order a new one. They said that they would call first. My question is other than...

    Brian, Thanks for the info. After you responded, I realized Charlie had his own FAQ page. The info was just what I was looking for, thanks. Regarding the 1200, I was very lucky. The previous owner advertised it in the local paper. Besides the iso mounts, the clutch needed to be replaced...

    Guys, I'm sure this has been covered before, however, if anyone can help me, I would appreciate it. I have a 1976 1200. I bought it used and replaced the iso-mounts about 10 years ago. I recently noticed that the engine is leaning toward the passenger side. I discovered that the two bolts...

    All, I have a 1450 with a QA42 snowthrower attachment. When the snow is too deep for the blade I use the snowthrower. The problem is that I use it on a 1/3 mile dirt road covered with 2B stone. Most of the time when a stone goes through the thrower it just throws the stone, however, once it...

    Dean, Bruce, Pops, Matt and Frank, Thanks for all of the info. I haven't pulled the clutch yet as I want to get some of my body parts for my 1450 painted and back on the tractor (always want at least one running). When I was pricing clutch parts, I added pressure plate and drive shaft to the...

    Digger & Don, Thanks for the advice on the paint for my 75 1450. The local cub dealer had cans of the white and yellow in stock. I sandblasted and sanded both side engine covers but can't get the last layers of stickers off. They have been baked on for 30+ years. Any ideas? Acetone? Also...

    Anyone, I am beginning to restore my 1975 1450. I see on this website that IH 483 Federal Yellow and IH 935 (white) are the original colors. My dealer said that they sell "Cadet Yellow" and "Cadet White." Does anyone know whether these colors match the original? Also, the paint #s listed...

    Help, I own a 1976 1200. The clutch release lever has so much play that I cannot tighten the adjusting nut enough even with a 1/2 inch spacer to get close to 9/32 inch between the pedal arm and pedal stop. The clutch still works and doesn't slip but has much more play than 9/32. I did a lot...

    Bryan and Kraig, Thanks for the diagram and advice. It came right off once I started turning the adjuster the right way. What do you think of this find: 129 in good condition with, ag tires, 3 point hitch, spring assist, front blade, box scraper, snow thrower and "International" lawn sweeper...

    I just picked up a 129 with a spring assist. Does anybody know how to get the spring assist off? I want to put it on my 1200. The front is bolted to the rocker arm. The rear bolts to a bracket that bends around the back of the frame. Even when I think I am loosening the spring tension as...
