I think Luther already posted that the NF lift manual was in the Manuals section.
An oddball question ...
Do any of you guys own an EARLY Quietline with the small filler neck and a Techumseh powered snow thrower, tiller, minibike, or other Tecumseh powered machine?
If so are the fuel filler threads the same size?
Reason being I am building a customized craftsman snow thrower with a souped up engine that will most likely drink more fuel than my grandmother drank moonshine!
Cub Cadet's 61635 fuel gauge for early Quietline tanks looks like it could be a good fit, but I'd like to confirm the thread size/pitch are OK (1-3/4" neck size same as Tecumseh's plastic fuel tanks?).
The float rail maybe a bit long which I could modify, but if anyone can check if a Tecumseh cap will fit their early Quietline with the smaller filler neck it would be a great help before I order one.

Anyone every considered adding a heat exchanger to the oil circuit on a KT or Magnum powered motor? Some brands of garden tractors used these and it made me wonder if it might be of benefit. What are your thoughts on this?

Peter N- I have both the small and large filler neck Quiet Line fuel tanks. I believe I have that same Tec cap on my Craftsman push mower which has the Tec engine. I can check later,.....
I need to get ahold of Charlie in a week or two as I need a set of 1/4" wheel spacers for my International Harvester Cub Cadet model 72, and a large filler cap gas tank gage for my International Harvester model 1450 Cub Cadet Quiet Line garden tractor, badly!

BRIAN - I would think adding a filter would do more good than just an oil cooler. The oil flowing thru the filter would cool and clean the oil.
Dave Kirk posted some research he did here years ago about how hot his K301 Killer Kohler's oil got while mowing. I did a search for his post a month ago and couldn't find it. Maybe if we ask him real nice he'll post his results again.

Brian-
Not all KT's have the ability to have a cooler or filter. You'll have to look on the right front corner of the engine to see if you've got a block-off plate. I had a similar idea for my 682, but since I don't have the plate, there wasn't much need to take the idea further.
.... unless you found a Magnum 18 (M18, not a standard MV18) block and swapped all the parts over, which would me likely much more trouble than it's worth.

I have heard of guys using a spring from a 154 LoBoy.
They heated up the center and stretched it to make it the same as the Original.
Never seen the outcome, but it might be worth checking into.

Clutch return spring on a 61 Cub... What clutch return spring???
Art,

Hopefully he's not talking about the compression spring on the driveshaft. PN/732-3016
I doubt it though, cause the brake return spring is NLA and the other isn't.

That reminds me!
Some DUMBA$$ at Cub Cadet thought it would funny to make the S/G belts for our old Cub Cadets no longer available,GRRRRRRRR
And to think, they pay these morons to come to work everyday!
Good thing CNH has some intelligent people still working for them!

I've found it a lot easier to get a better quality S/G belt from NAPA than through Cub Cadet or even CASEIH.
Back to working five days a week again so a lot of my items needed to get done are once again being put on hold.

CHARLIE - Like Marlin says, actually, the S/G belt is one of the easier belts to replace with a non-OEM belt. Now things like the mule drive belts, tiller drive belts..... not so much.
I hope that Einstein is reminded of his brain FART every chance his bosses have. I used to take service/repair parts more seriously than production parts whether it was at FARMALL, the machine tool co, drinking fountains & water coolers... or water softeners.
The company that in my opinion needs to be kicked in their service & repair parts family jewels is FORD. 26 yrs ago my wife drove a brand new Mustang GT around with a rear window covered with visqueen for THREE MONTHS the first winter we had the car because FMC was too busy building new cars and the left rear fenders were backordered all the way to the stamping plant..... till I got involved... the fender complete with first dent was at the body shop the next day. I did let the parts manager know I would kick his Azz the next time I saw him...
Anyhow, I read about brand new $60,000-$70,000 trucks being parked for weeks at the dealers waiting for stupid little parts to get them running again. So guys making $1000/month truck payments are waiting on $50 parts. Ford should be ashamed. At IH we had a 6 month supply of parts IN THE WAREHOUSES before a new model of tractor was in production.

Dennis, you should know that nearly every manufacturing company runs a "just-in-time" supply line. I cost waaaay to much to have months of parts just sitting on a shelf in some warehouse not being sold.
Secondly, the two most profitable areas on any dealership lot are the repair shop and finance office. They don't make $ selling $50,000 trucks. They make money financing that $50,000 truck. And the requiring the maintenance be done in house to honor the warranty.
Goes with anything in life. Only buy it if you have the green cash dollars to pay for it.
I would LOVE to see CC out of MTD's collection of crap. CNH would be a great home. Probably have better looking tractors too. I don't know about you, but I would drive a little mini CaseIH magnum mowing my lawn.
