Jim,
That IH logo was used for only about a year durring the WWII years. I want to say 1942. Only seen that once before, other than reference material, on a Farmall Ad. Hadda' have it.

Ted, I'll bet that thing is really fuel efficient.

Whoop-whoop-whoop...Correct Police, pull it over Tedd.

Those are incorrect fasteners on that front grill casting for a 1x9 tractor.

Tedd -

Hmmm - maybe I'll just drop my 169 off in the middle of the night next weekend

Art, not me

Been getting some emails containing viruses with the subject "forum notify". Just passing it along.

So, Bryan, you wanted that done in a shade of Green??

Congrats Tedd!

Tedd:
I think he mentioned once _{(although quietly)} that he already has green. Try blue. . .

I've had several emails asking about my throttle shaft repair method so here's the story,
I was at a tractor show years ago and ran across a 40 year veteran of Kohler that headed the return/repair/warranty division and he told me about what they did for throttle shaft repair and also sold me the little do-hickies to do it with.

So you have a worn out throttle shaft hole!

You take one of these little multi layered washers.

And insert it into the carb body hole.

And you end up with a tight fit for your throttle shaft that will last for years and years because of the multi metal layered washer.

I did my first one 5 years ago and it's still tight and even if they do wear out, just pop the washer and install a fresh one. There's no need to use any adhesive as they are a tight fit.
And if you have a real bad shaft, and the carb body is still good you just use two washers to take up the slop in the shaft.

Green? Nope, only green here is a 1/64 scale Art's Way grinder and the 1/16 scale Precision JD 110...

Well, maybe you mean the rattle cans of JD Blitz Black?

Charlie-
Last time I did a throttle shaft rebuild I think the Kohler kit contained brass/bronze bushings for the throttle shaft.

So, are you gonna tell us where to get the special "unobtainium" washers?

 

[kmcconaughey]

Art, I think Car & Driver has a copyright on "unobtainium", they used it several years ago in an article on a Mercedes. IIRC, the line was something like "....it's carved from a block of solid unobtainium." I won't tell them you used it though. )

Charlie, sooooooo, where does one get these, ahem, washers?

Tedd, CUBGRATULATIONS!!!^©

Hello
I am still new to Cub Cadets and have a question about the steering gearbox. Will a steering shaft and gearbox from a 100 model fit on my 108? Mine has a lot of slop in it. I talked to a gentleman over the weekend who has a nice tight one from a 100 that he will sell cheap. Are the splines the same so I can use my original wheel? Thanks for any info.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Jeremy, I believe they are different length, I don't recall which is longer. Why not just rebuild the one from your 108? It's quite easy to do. Check out entry #14 in the FAQ Richard C. did a great write up on it including a nice upgrade.
