    100 Restoration Progress

    After stalling for about six months (although I had a valid reason, I have an infant daughter that was born in January), I finally have my Cadet 100 project back on track! Just about done with disassembly, ready to roll the frame out into the driveway to hose out and degrease all the muck...

    orginal paint

    Good to know, I appreciate it! Since I will be only doing the 100 and possibly one larger tractor (such as a Farmall A or Super C) years down the line, a supplied air system may not be worth the investment (unless I do more restorations). I’m also leaning towards using Rustoleum Farm and...

    orginal paint

    That’s a good looking 100! I’ll have to go the PPG paint route when it comes to that stage of my 100 restoration. My only concern is the isocyanates in the hardener: how did you handle that? My plan for painting is a simple booth in the garage (plastic sheeting hung from the rafters), a Harbor...

    Good Source for K241 Engine Parts

    My restoration of my Cadet 100 had been on hold for a few months until last week, now I am almost done with the disassembly of all major components and ready for cleaning and paint. Revisiting my K241 engine, I originally planned on just cleaning and painting it, replacing the head gasket and...

    To Rebuild or Just Leave As Is

    Excellent, that will be my next step before degreasing and paint! Thank you!

    To Rebuild or Just Leave As Is

    Yes, that will be my next step. It is a 1” tap, correct?

    To Rebuild or Just Leave As Is

    Update on my Cadet 100 exhaust; after speaking with my friends at my tractor club, I went ahead and cut the pipe down shorter with the hacksaw and then used a hacksaw blade in a handle and cut a notch in the pipe lengthwise. I was then able to take a ball-peen machinist hammer to knock the two...

    I don’t want it to come loose! 😉😂

    To Rebuild or Just Leave As Is

    Thanks for all the great input! At this point I am going to leave it alone and try to thread a new muffler (one will be arriving tomorrow) onto the remaining thread and go from there. I already removed the lock nut by splitting with a chisel, so the worse that can happen is the elbow loosens...

    Incidentally, my good family friend owns a hardware store (I used work for him) and offers pipe cutting services! I’ll give him a call…

    To Rebuild or Just Leave As Is

    While I will reserve the bolt/wrench trick until last, I am considering rethreading it with a hand pipe threader or finding a suitable muffler with a clamp on connection and just bolting it over my cut. Granted, cutting was probably a hasty decision but my original plan was to strip this engine...

    To Rebuild or Just Leave As Is

    I have a NOS replacement elbow and lock nut, the plan was to sacrifice this one all along since this one was too far gone.

    Someone else mentioned that…since an oxy-acetylene torch set up is out of budget, would a hotter gas (MAPP gas comes to mind) shift it perhaps?

    To Rebuild or Just Leave As Is

    Can’t argue with that! I’m going to go for it and get it running!

    To Rebuild or Just Leave As Is

    I've stalled on the restoration of my Cub Cadet 100 due to the usual reasons (work, kids and more pressing projects), but one of the biggest reasons is the engine. I wanted to do a full engine rebuild in line with the rest of my restoration, but a seized exhaust pipe has put me off of trying to...

    Cadet 100 Rear Axle Endfloat

    While my measurement isn’t exact (I haven’t bought a dial indicator gauge or micrometer yet), the left side hub moves 1/16th of an inch and the right side hub moves about half of that (1/32nd of an inch). I managed to get new seals from IHCCW, but Parts Tree and Cub Cadet don’t have them...

    Cadet 100 Rear Axle Endfloat

    I pulled the wheels off of my newly acquired Cub Cadet 100 restoration project to start disassembly and I noticed that the rear axle shafts had considerable endfloat and can be pulled in and out. The left side axle was also dirtier that the right, leading me to believe the oil seal is shot. Is...

    Hello from SoCal!

    Luckily, Santa came early and I found a used lift lever courtesy of Rob Houtz (great suggestion!). I also found a used lever quadrant which was also missing on my tractor. I managed to take the wheels off yesterday and put it on jack stands, so hopefully it will be quick work starting the...

    Hello from SoCal!

    Thank you all for the warm welcome! Made a little progress on the Cadet 100, I acquired a good used front axle and spindle set, and a rebuilt clutch unit. Just need to find the lift lever and associated linkage (the ones on eBay are out of my budget right now).

    Cub Cadet 100 Project from SoCal

    I’m a new member and just received this Cub Cadet 100 as a free project from a member of my tractor and gas engine club (Western Antique Power Associates). It is in great shape and is mostly complete, except for the 3 point/mower deck lift lever assembly and the front PTO pulley. I plan on doing...
