Charlie-
I'm a fan of the Richard Christainson approach on those gaskets.......cutting one from sheet-neopreme. Seems any amount of cork just gets permanently smashed and eventually leaks. Do you have any thoughts on that?
Kraig-
It's from the 20. There are lots of little things that needed attention, so I figure it's due time.
More details to come...

Art, the very first gasket I made is on my 1450 and to this day hasn’t leaked a drop. I made others and installed on different Cubs that I no longer own so I can’t speak for them. I also put one on my 782 when I rebuilt it and both the 1450 and 782 are still working daily with no leaks.
I'm tempted to put these together, LOL

Thanks for the thoughts on the gasket.
Oh, and sorry for butchering your last name Richard!

I would like to thank John Paper for letting me buy his 128 with rear pto. It was worth a 8 hour trip. Only part I hated was the 55 speed limits in Iowa
Nice Charlie, always like those zzzzz's.
I have or have had nearly all.
Currently 127 s, 126, 73, are used here,
But I'm slowly going to the 129- 149, just easier
For me to get on and off in my old age, and a 109.

Charlie, very cool!

Mike, you posted in the wrong area... I've quoted your post here. It sounds to me like the condenser is bad. I suppose it could also be a connection issue with the points.

Charlie,
I still have most of those 1x6/7 series picture frames somewhere. I always thought they were cool and saved them from our dealership days. Finding the right kind of rubber band is key with just enough tension to hold them together but not too much that it deforms or cuts through the tabs.

I've got the rubber bands, but needless to say, they are a little worse for wear.

There can be a number of reasons that a tractor quits running after warmup. Your number one clue is that it is OK after cooling off.
-If it cranks but won't start, cross seized engine off the list. If it cranks weird (like too fast) you've lost compression (see my last comment below).
- Check for spark as soon as it quits.. No spark, look at points, coil, condenser. Check to see if coil is really hot, they can fail with an open connection inside. Condensers fail, more often with the newer replacements. Also wiring can fail, but usually not a "cool off and it's OK" thing.
- If you have spark and it starts after sitting, you may have a fuel flow issue, the float bowl runs dry and takes a while to fill again.
The thing to figure out is if the time it runs is random or it pretty much fails around the same time every time. The heat/cooling period may be a red herring, but has been pretty consistent in my experience. I had an engine that would run about 5 minutes, then wouldn't restart , turned out to be the exhaust valve stem had zero clearance to the tappet, once it got hot, the valve couldn't close.
Keep us posted, we're here (randomly) to help..

You found the right spot.

Ethan, I'm not sure how rare but quite a few people got a 128 with rear pto over on the facebook group.
Question, the IH sticker on the grille is peeling off, how do I go about re gluing it? I thought about gorilla glue. I also have a rear pto rubber knob i'll have to put on my pto engagement lever would glue make that stick too?
