Not quite on topic but is an IH relative since Case IH and Chrysler are owned by Fiat
 
KENtucky, I updated the profile as soon as I could. <font size="+2">BIG THANKS</font> for the awesome gif work!

I need to know whether the nut for the steering wheel on a cub 127 is 5/8-18 I did not see just the nut on parts lookup.
 
Eric - That's what my 129 has , 127 still has cap on it and I'm not ready to tear into it it.
 
Ken, Thanks for the help on the throttle shaft fix. New gasket tomorrow and away I go.....until the next fix.
 
Tom - Anytime ... I need to fix the TS on the 127, it's really bad. I might get around to doing that if I can find the bushings or I might just lathe out some.
I'm still trying to get the gumption to raise it up and take out the steering column and do a box rebuild.
The little place across the fence out back that I use to keep mowed with it has grown back into a baby forest now !
 
Allen - You know how these guys with ALL the <strike>money</strike> perks are ... gotta be different.

KENtuckyKEN,

My hydro seems a bit slow in reverse, forward does seem to go quite fast. The power in reverse might be down because the speed seems slow. How do you adjust this for speed?
When the hydro pump was installed, the neutral adjust was done by tapping the bracket up and down to find the neutral position. I thought this was the right process. Any help would be appreciated.
You guys are great!!
 
Mark - This is what I was referring too that I need to do to mine. Mine doesn't stop with the lever in neutral, I'm up above the "1" on my dash handle. It does give a real fast reverse though which is opposite of yours so I thought you might need to adjust yours too.

There's more than 6 links to Hydro repair questions in the FAQ section above.
Charlie's Cub FAQ links from the top section of the first FAQ page.

Charlie - I think it was question # 91 that has a dead link
cmanuals.info/pdf/fieldchange.pdf
 
Mark - After re-reading your post I see that you did adjust the bracket ...
Do you need to adjust the linkage to be correct instead of adjusting the bracket. I did the latter first now I need to do the other.

It may be like Marlin said about having a "hair" under the gasket and loosing pressure ... let's hope not. That's to much work again !
 
Tom Hoffman (Thoffman)
If you still have your carb off could you take a pic of where that Hillman thrust bushing goes. I purchased one and have not taken my carb off yet but this bushing is a lot bigger than the throttle shaft and I cannot picture where it would go to fix the loose shaft.
Thanks

Hello all, I hope I'm doing this correctly, as it says "New threads no accepted on this page" below the archives.

I was given a IH Cub Cadet 124 today, and after fiddling with it for an hour, I got it to run, and run rather well. There are a few problems, however, that I was wondering if you all could assist me with.

1. When cranking, whether using a standard mower battery, or one with jumper cables connected to my truck, the engine seems to turn over slower than I would expect. Probably half the speed, perhaps a bit less, than my 2006 Craftsman riding mower. It still starts up and all fine, but I don't know if that's a sign the starter/generator needs a rebuild, or if that is normal. I will check/clean all connections tomorrow, and try from there, and see if it still acts up. Couldn't hurt, anyway.

2. When running, the generator does not charge the battery. Not a big deal, IMO, but, something I would like to fix. Are these easy to rebuild yourself, or is it best to send it off for that? I saw in the FAQ an article about them, and will conduct those tests tomorrow, and see if that helps me get anywhere.

3. Over the years, the main pulley connected to the crankshaft of the motor has "slipped" out of the slot in the shaft so many times, the first 1.5-2" of shaft coming out of the motor is so worn/stripped, the only way to secure it is to move the pulley further down the shaft. While this works, it does throw off the V-belt after it runs a bit. Again, not a big deal, but I would like to fix it, I'm assuming the engine would have to be tore down, and the crankshaft replaced. Is it worth going into it that much? Or best let a sleeping dog lie? Is there perhaps a way to put washers or something behind the starter pulley, to help line it up more with the crankshaft pulley?

4. Those are the three main things, aside from that, I love it to death. I would appreciate any assistance any of you folks could give me, and I apologize if I didn't post this properly, but I don't see a "New Topic" button, and this forum has a different "presentation" than I am used to.


Thank you!

William D.
