Well, I posted earlier this week about my Cub 149 rev'ing very high when I throttled up. I adjusted the governor like everyone told me to do and I think that fixed the problem. I still need to adjust a few things but I think this adjustment fixed the main problem. I attached two pics of my 149. I am currently in the process of giving my tractor a makeover so that is why the hood is missing. I have just about everything painted except the hood and the rear fenders. I am going to sandblast and paint the snowblade and 48" deck next. I am gonna use the blade this winter I believe before I fix it up. Can't wait until I am done and then it's time to fix up the 127 I got for $50.

I forgot to ask. I think I found an engine for my 127. If you aren't familiar with my recent purchase, I bought a 127 for $50 but I think the connecting rod is broke. A local man has a 1250 that he fixed up and had the engine rebuilt about a year or so ago. Will a 12hp Kohler out of a 1250 fit a narrow frame 127? I am kind of doubting it will because I know the 1250 mounts differently.

JB-
Putting the 1250 engine in the 127 isn't really worth the trouble...you'd have to change a lot of things. You can fix the current engine, you know...
Or better yet, sell the 127 and buy the 1250.

Any members in western CT area? jst getting started with the machines I have
How does one go about making a Killer Kohler? Is this just a nick name? Or are there some type of engine kits to make an awesome engine even more so?
I've seen a lot of beautifully restored engines on here. Hope to someday add some of my K161 pictures and CCO when I'm all done. Now just boxes of parts in various stages of derusting, and primered parts. I'm starting to forget what goes where also, so I've been working daily to get this done.

Quick question for those that have replaced thier shoes on thier snow blades... do you paint them? Didnt realize they come unpainted but wonder if the paint really holds up anyhow. Unless I bring it inside to paint (wife will be thrilled) I dont have much a choice at this stage of the game, so just wondering if it does anything or just wears off anyhow?

Here's a cold weather painting tip ( when you have no other choice ).
I heat my parts before painting on the heater ( a propane torch would work too ) and then spray them outside. I keep them in the shed to dry/cure too. Not the best way to do it but better than bare parts.
I would paint the shoes as that would help prevent rust.

Tristan - I agree with Jeff; even a bad paint job would be better than none. Only the bottom surface area that contacts the ground will lose paint, but unpainted the whole thing will begin to rust.
Now that's a full two cents worth, isn't it?

Somone local is selling a Cub Cadet 268 two stage Snowblower. Has anyone ever seen one of these? I never have. I attached a picture. It is made by IH. He wants $250 for it. It seems very neat and I kind of want it.
I've got a question... I bought a hydraulic lift unit for my 100 that I am restoring... But there arent any holes in the frame of the 100. Is there an exact measurement and or a templet so that I am sure to get the lift pulley true with the motor pulley? Thanks Tyler
