Kraig,
The crankshaft on my 129 looked like yours last year. My pulley was also wore badly. I found a used pulley that was tight on the crankshaft, put a longer key in and ground the end like the one for your Killer Kohler, and used either JB weld or liquid steel to fill in around the key. I let the filler harden and filed it just enough to get the pulley on. It ran all last year to mow the grass and has not come loose yet.

Maybe question #25.

Art, I just realized that you were using your 2072 for snow removal not your 1872. Do you notice much performance difference between the 18 and the 20?

 

[dtanner]

Thanks Charlie, i will do that ujoint mode on my 129.i will order the parts right away because we will be painting the 129 and the 104 soon and i want the repairs done before the paint is applied.Thanks again Don T

Kraig-
I was wondering when you were going to ask..

I think so, but right now it's not an apples-to-apples comparison because one of them (1872 vs 2072) isn't right on the top-end.
<font size="-2">Not to mention the "18" doesn't have a snowblower on it so I'm working from memory...</font>

Either the "20" is turning too fast, or the "18" is turning too slow at W.O.T. I'll have to put a tach to them and see which is what's up.

All of that said, I do notice a bit more low-end grunt out of the 2072, and I don't think high-end RPM would make much difference there.

I guess my answer is "yes"...

 

[vthomley]

Art,

Does this "isn't right on the top-end" refer to the driver?

Ok gang had a good one this morning about 5AM, moving 2 inches of snow here at the hospital sidewalks. Old 1650 (Gus)died on the spot so shoveled for awhile then got a light and started tearing into it. Middle of the sidewalk ol pop with some tools tearing this old guy down.

Had good spark at the plug but changed it anyway, checked all the wiring that was ok, seemed to be getting fuel but just wouldn't start. Ok tore the breather off checked the fuel line yep getting fuel to the carb. So guess what I finally found?

Amswer after while!!

Oh and yes I got him running again and pushed snow for another 3 hours.

Is there a place anyone knows of that has a pictures of each model. I ask because I spotted a Cub that looks like a 122,

but I can not get close enough (without getting bit that is

) to make it out. It does not look like the numbers 122. There seam to be more than one 1. Thanks in advance.

Bcorn,
Frozen carb?

 

[kmcconaughey]

Donnie, could be a model 71 and you're seeing the 7 as a 1. Or it could be a 102 and the 0 at an angle looks like a 1.

One suggestion: B I N O C U L A R S.
