You know,
Sometimes you just have to scratch your head and wonder WTH someone was thinking by adding epoxy to a freakin plug wire!

And the sad part is, it took me 30 minutes to find it after another 30 minutes of wondering why the 1450 ran like crap.

Ok i got what may be a tough question. my 1970 cubcadet 107 are the correct paint colors # 902 white and IH federal yellow paint? And wear is a good place to buy it?

Should i use the red locktight on the set screws on the starter pulley (front pto pulley)? I don't want them backing out again.

I wouldn't if it were me.
With a good key/keyway and good set screws, there's no reason that they should back out.

Where can i pick up a new snap ring for the pto and bearing? Okay is the snap ring supposed to go over the bearing, i can turn snap ring some but not much. and if someone could send directions for rebuilding pto, i am trying to get a headstart for when kit gets here, i want to have the bearing already mated to pto.

Want ads are a NO NO!

There's directions in each rebuild kit.

And there's also a FAQ section on here that no ever reads, at the top of every page,
Plus another one here,

So, Charlie, just to be sure I understand - you're saying that an epoxy patch is NOT the best course of action for a bad plug wire?

ya gotta admit, though, finding those PO mods is kinda fun...

Not when it shoots fire out the side onto the top of the engine!

It makes for a weak spark at the plug too!
