Thanks Wes,

According to the cub faq that means I need a 1/2 x 77 1/2 belt.

Is it possible to go to a 1/2 x 78 belt instead or would this leave too much slack?

Thanks
Nick

Charlie, I think the PeCo Vac operator was an extra cost option......

Charlie...Who's the old guy runnin you tractor in that clip??? Actually i won't use bags on it when I pick up leaves this fall..I've got a large agri-fab leaf cart with a "air conditioned" block..so I thought I would run a longer hose from the PeCo directly to the trailer...That way I won't have to stop and dump as often...The whole contraption will be hard to run in tight spots but I'll have the wife run the mower and windrow everything...
with that tractor I got the PeCo installation/parts manual and the Briggs manual and operaing instructions if you'd like a copy..{hard to tell in my photo}
You too Kraig...Actually I need your address..I've got some liturature I'd like to send you to scan and archive.....Kurt

Matt K:

Next time this situation occurs, you could try running a Jumper Wire from the positive battery terminal to the terminal on the starter solenoid (ORG/BLK wire). This in effect, bypasses all the switches in series with this solenoid. If the starter rolls over, then you know there is an issue between the two connections. At this point, you could trace this down with a VOM meter.
From what this sounds like to me, you have a intermintent device (switches), wire, or wire connection.

Kurt, FWIW, "the old guy" is Charlie! My mailing address is on it's way to you in an email.

 

[krandall]

Kraig...I knew that but Charlie has seemed to mellow a bit in the past month and was runnin a test to see if he was O.K.

HEY CHARLIE,

You old

How does one remove the PTO side oil seal from a K-181 without disassembling the engine? Got my 86 running for the first time and there's oil pouring out from behind the front PTO. Also, what does the following MTD/CCC part # oil seal fit? 921-0187 I have 2 of these and they look like they'd be the right size for the crank seal.

Thanks!

Matt G. -

Um, with a seal puller? Doesn't everyone have a Lisle seal puller...?

 

[digger]

Tom,
52 is old, I'm 3/4s they way to being dead already!!!!
Which may be a good thing depending on who ya are.

 

[mgonitzke]

Bryan-

Umm.. Well, I don't. What does it look like, how does it work, and where do I get one?

 

[thoffman]

Charlie,
53 was a good year for me too!

 

[digger]

Matt G,
You can find seal pullers just about anywhere and a good one is about 20 bucks or so. Once you get one, you will see how to operate it.

And if ya don't want to buy one, a good sharp heavy duty screw driver works too.

 

[lperry]

They are great for shreding the seal so bad you throw them across the shop and get the screw driver (that you all ready had) to remove it.

 

[lperry]

My 102 cub it has just a few rough spots but it will hope fully get fixed by spring.

Can anyone tell me what brand of plow this is?

I bought it two years ago used and I think part of it may be missing.

Lucas P,
When someone post a pic of something and ask what it is and no one answers. That means no one has a clue or cares to make a guess, That's kinda the way it works.

I'm leaning toward Gravely myself, but I never was to smart.
