    Paul Bell passed away 4/30/22

    Paul was a very nice man. I got invited to his house several years ago. I bought some parts for a 122 I owned at that time. I got to see the famous GRRRR Cub and the ultra low serial numbered original. A wealth of Cub information and lore. RIP SIR

    New Toy

    I would think so. The drive shaft drives the hydro pump.

    Won’t stay running.

    I now have the rebuild kit and Tygon fuel line for my Cub. I agree with the idea of using non ethanol gasoline. I keep a five gallon translucent dirt bike fuel can of it on hand for the Cub and a older Troy Bilt tiller with a Magnum 8HP Kohler. I still use a fuel stabilizer as from what I read...

    Won’t stay running.

    All good replies folks. I totally appreciate your responses. I took the carb off, pulled the bowl off and found some black colored material inside. I now suspect the black line I used as to gas line is being affected by the fuel. It sits 99.9 of its life seeing occasional use as my snow...

    Won’t stay running.

    I drained the entire fuel system and put fresh gas in. It’s got gas, and good fuel flow the carb inlet fitting. I suspect the float needle is stuck closed. However. There was a bowl full of gas that drained out when I removed the half inch bowl retaining bolt. I’m going to shoot some...

    Won’t stay running.

    yes sir. I thought of that after I was back at the house. I’ll try tapping on the bowl with a screwdriver handle and try to unstick the float valve before I buy a kit. That carb ought to be like new. When I was rehabilitating the 126, that carb soaked in simple green, submerged in a ultra...

    Won’t stay running.

    Fellas. I have a 126 with the stock K301A engine. I thought I had a no spark situation due to cankered/chalked over points contacts as the engine would not fire up. It ran fine in the fall and seen use around the yard pulling a #2 garden cart. I pulled the tin cover off the points and ran a...

    Wheel weight ?

    I like the IH steel weights. They were originally intended for the Farmall Cub front wheels. They bolt up perfectly on the IH Cub Cadet rear wheels. I put a set of the Super Garden tractor rear steel wheels that allowed me to use the 12.5 inch wide rear tires. I used the turf tread as my chains...

    Points cover screw threads and sizes.

    Thanks for the replies y’all. I have allen headed screws installed. The idea of making the bottom hole of the points cover a slot, seems to be a good idea.

    Points cover screw threads and sizes.

    Excellent idea. So simple it’s brilliant. Something I am not! Thanks a heap. regards John Mitchell

    Points cover screw threads and sizes.

    I have a idea. I’ve replaced the original slot head screws that fasten the points cover to the engine block with Allen head screws. A vast improvement over trying to start the bottom slot head screw into the hole on the block. What I’m thinking now is. What if I replaced the short Allen...

    Points cleaning?

    Well. Alrighty then. I’m a reckoning that I’m going to have to pop the points cover off every so often and clean the contacts. I have one of the Kirk Transdensers, but have not installed it. I bought it a couple of years or so back. With what Mr Kirk has said on the subject. I expect that...

    Points cleaning?

    Do you think his condenser thing is the culprit with that frequency of needing to clean up the points?

    Points cleaning?

    All good replies fellas. I bought the 126 several years ago. It had paper work to support the claim of then recent engine work at a old Farmall IH Cub Cadet dealership. I appreciated that. and started my mechanical rehab of things I hoped to never have to replace again. During all the work and...

    Hi there.

    Thanks. I remember your photos? Is Mr Bell from Louisville still around?

    Points cleaning?

    These are not worn out. They are maybe 3 years old, and might have 10 hours I use on them total.

    Points cleaning?

    Hey there y’all. It’s been a while since I’ve been here. Without going into specifics, life has taken me away from messing with my 126 Cub Cadet that is set up solely for pushing snow. I’ll get right to my question. Is it common to have to clean the ignition points contacts every year or so...

    Hi there.

    I was a member several years ago and somehow life kinda took me away from the Cub Cadet world for a couple of years. I still have my 126 which is set up for a snow plowing machine and the occasional cart pulling around the yard. I have a couple of questions that I will ask in the forum...
