    Brian, Thanks for the help. I have conducted a test fit of the oil pan and there seems to be enough clearance. I will recheck, and will post a picture. At this point, A second opinion is worth doing it over. I will also test fit the the mule drive and post a picture as well. Thanks...

    Paul, I am re-assembling my 125 after refinishing. I have attached pictures. My parts were bead blasted, areas were masked, and then finished.

    Good morning. I am replacing the head gasket and removing the carbon on the K301 in my 125. I would like to replace the head bolts. Should I replace the studs as well? What is the best source to buy these bolts from? Frank

    I am reassembling my Cub 125 after a complete teardown and repaint/powdercoat. I do not think the mower deck is original to my CC. I do not have a label or plate I can use to consider or use as a reference. The current deck has had much welding and metal replacement done by the PO. It seems...

    Don T and Dennis F Thanks for the input. I am leaning toward black. My engine is a replacement and black as well. I am glad I asked here before starting. I was intending to paint the cooling fins. The engine I now have has cooling fins that have surface rust. I can wire brush and...

    Don T What kind of paint are you using on your engine when you repaint it? Does it need to be a special kind to withstand heat? I am going to repaint mine and was wondering.

    D Tanner, I too am rebuilding the Hydro on my cc 125. Are you wanting to have a ported Hydro so you can use other attachments? Frank

    Richard T, I did the same repair this week end. I made an insert from solid 1/16 inch mild steel. I cut a square hole in it, and then brazed it to the trunnion. Looks like your repair will work fine. Frank

    Andrew D, I am attaching a wiring diagram that shold be close to yours, I also checked the diagram for my cc 125 which uses the same regulator. Both show the lead on the back as ground. It is too big to attach here, but put Delco Remy Bulletin 1R-116 in the search bar on your computer...

    Don T, Sounds like you have a great shop. This is my first winter in MD, and look to add heat to mine next year. I went out to the shop and looked at the swash plate and trunnion. My unit has one pin for each side. I am looking forward to having my Cub back together and running. It will be...

    I am looking forward to a good "Cub" weekend. I recieved the balance of parts needed to reassemble my CC125, including a metal hydro fan. Thanks to all who have helped me so far.

    Don P. I just went through the same thing you are experiencing with my cc 125. For two good ways to remove the steering wheel, go to the FAQ section of this forum near the top of the page and go to FAQ # 13. Also, go to the sponsor section at the top of the Forum page and click on the CC...

    Dennis, and Matt, Thanks for the help. It is good to know I can make the plastic fan work..... I would still like to source the metal blade if possible. Frank

    Dennis: Thanks for the reply. My drive shaft does not have a groove for the snap ring supplied with the new plastic fan blade. Is there a "hub" or some other method for afixing the plastic fan blade to the drive shaft? Thanks, Frank

    Good afternoon all I am replacing the hydro fan on the drive shaft of my cc 125. The one I am replacing is made of metal and about 3/8" overall OD smaller than the plastic replacement I ordered and recieved. Also, the metal one I am replacing has a collar with allen screws which are used to...

    I brought my CC 125 inside for a minor tune-up. I have attached some pictures of progress. My question today is the hydro unit. I have ordered all of the gaskets. One of the pictures show the dirt build up where fluid is leaking. Does this look normal? Other than replace seals and gaskets...

    Warren, I went back into the shop and looked at my steering box. I do have what looks like the lower bearing race floating in the steering box with the bearings displaced, so I probably have a similar case as yours. I will do as you suggested and cut the old plug out. Thanks for the...

    Happy New Year!! I am working on my CC125. I am trying to dissassemble the Ross Steering box. I have removed the locking cotter pin so I can remove the adjusting plug. My problem is removing the adjusting plug. It is so tight, I cannot loosen it using a 1/2 inch drive rachet and a tool made...
