Steve, Rivnuts, or nutserts as we refer to them, work very well when used in correct application. We use hundreds in the assembly of a refrigeration unit, from holding door latch and other brackets on to about 20/30holding in condenser and evaporator coils in, all 1/4-20. The tools made to install them work ok, what works best is a length of 1/4"x1" aluminum flat stock with 1/4"hole, stainless washers on either side of flat stock, and 1/4-20x1" bolt. Battery impact driver till the nutsert tightens in material and it is installed. 1/4-20 nutserts fit into a 25/64" hole.

Thanks for the comments on the Nutserts/Rivnuts.
I tested a few and the impact driver is the only way to go. 1/4-20 are iffy on grip length with 1/8" thick test stock. I'm pretty sure the frame is a little thinner than that, so I should be good.
On the SGT frame, the rear holes will be no issue, but the fronts are buried under the pedestal......not removing that! I may add a 3rd set of holes in the middle....ther frame could use a little more stiffness there any way......
Will probably get to it this weekend, now that the snow has melted and I can move equipment around some again!!!

- Scott Tanner... Can't even see the Cub in this mess..
Joe P,
Since you're in Minneapolis, do I dare say you work for TK? I work for CTD div of Carrier... Used lots of rivnuts.. used them for my 149's tunnel cover
ARO makes a nifty tool to set those...

Nope, TK is the enemy. I have worked at the CTD dealer in the Twin Cities for over 40 years, current employer is the 4th owner of the CTD franchise since I started. I know K series Kohlers and Kubota engines like the back of my hand, as both were/ have been used in our equipment for many years. Been to Syracuse for training a few times, but it has probably been 20 years. Interstate is a training center so the trainers come to us now.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! LOL
Man I hate these little $&@?!&$. He must of found my bait and decided to quit before he got it timed. Anyone ever switch to a newer 12hp with the newer ignition? Am doing a motor swap from 1210 to a 1282. 2 wire plug is different. I have not looked at wiring diagrams yet. Was just curious if someone had a quick answer. Thanks

It's not really funny, but that's got to be one of the funniest things I've seen on a Cub in a long time!!!

Tim,
If you are using paint from CaseIH, there should be fine print instructions somewhere on the label. I believe the mix amounts are 8 parts paint and 1 part thinner if I recall correctly from when I mixed up some federal yellow paint the other month to spray on the 147 engine overhaul project. I use a small measuring cup to dip and measure the paint and then the thinner.
