I'm a big fan of the Loctite, the red stuff. It's amazing how much better the stuff works when you clean threads with acetone and use the Loctite primer, you really do have to use heat to loosen things up.
FWIW, if you can't take the sticker shock at the stores, Grainger has it fairly reasonable, even better if your employer's registered with them, then stuff gets to be near wholesale cost.
one more thing- Loctite 777 is fuel-resistant, usually spec'd on diesel pressure fittings. If you buy fuel fittings with NPT threads they'll usually be pre-applied with the stuff.

Anyone know what kind of store one would go to to find roll pins for a creeper?
I tried Farm+Fleet but they only have spiral pins.
Hardware store?
I don't want to buy them from a CC dealer because their prices are probably higher.

MATT - If a really good hardware store doesn't have them try an auto parts store. Look for the Orange DORMAN bins.... WYATT - You know the L/T Red, 277 I think it is, Red with "LUBRICITY - Teflon added" looks like cherry jelly, smells like cherry jelly..... You suppose it tastes like it too? Yep, Wrench Better Chemically.... Put Anti-sieze all over it so You can get it apart again in 20+ yrs..... but have to put Locktite on it so it stays together that long... I keep looking for the stuff Steve B calls Grape Jelly but I can never remember the number!

Its a 1450 but I replaced the engine with a new one about three years ago and a 16 hp wasn't that much more so I bought it. If I had to do it over again I would probably just get a 14 hp as the old 14 hp did everything I wanted and ran a lot smoother. I may rebuild the origingal 14 hp and put it back in and then use this 16 hp on a 1650 sitting back in the garage waiting for a complete restoration.

I thought this site
http://www.emachineshop.com/
might be of help to someone.
I've got the 129 and 44a mechanically sound thanks to the forum and it's sponsors. She will come apart again in the winter for "bodywork".

I am supprised that Farm & Fleet would have sprial pins and not roll spins.
CC dealer will cost you a $1.00 a pin, at least that what I paid for the ones I purchased from my CC dealer, go 10 of them when I started doing drive shaft work on my 102 & 122.

Um, <font color="ff6000">Simple trACtors</font> is a site for Simplicity and Allis Chalmers lawn & garden tractor collectors. But I'm sure you plugged the term into Google and already know that

A towel on the seat? Expecting something to happen?

Oh Crap! We're doin dogs on Cubs tonight!
Does anyone have an aftermarket analog tachometer on their DIESEL Cub Cadet and where did you get it? I've been looking but can't seem to find one. It needs to work on a 3 cylinder machine,not sure if they're adjustable that way either. Thanks boys.
Rob D.-Congrats!

You do bring up a good point, though. If it is from somewhere other than one's personal photo collection, an attribution would be nice, lest the <FONT COLOR="ff0000">Democracy of Two™</FONT> get a nastygram from some other site's moderator(s).

Denny,
LocTite 515 AKA "Grape Jelly" is a gasket eliminator...good stuff.
CIH dealers stock it under the CIH brand name in a white/black squeeze tube with the words "Gasket Eliminator" (LocTite 515 in small print)
It's kinda like an American Express Card....."never wrench without it"
