    Harry - thanks for the input. Yeah, the harness is definitely suspect and it looks like at one point a previous owner was in there, doing some "improvements". I guess I'll just have to break out the old meter and start some diagnosis. I was hoping somebody may have seen a similar symptom at...

    Happy Easter, all! Okay electrical gurus, I need some help. My 107 has always started hard, but this morning it finally quit altogether. The starter won't even get past the compression now. Battery good. Turns over with spark plug removed, but still a bit slower than I would have expected...

    Thanks David. Yes, I already had the part number. I am just being impatient as I don't have time to get one shipped to me (before I return to work on Tuesday) and my local cub dealer doesn't have one in stock. I was hoping that someone had used one that they purchased at a Home Depot or the...

    Happy Memorial Day, everyone! I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable holiday, taking time to spend with family and friends and remember those that helped give us the freedom that we can so easily take for granted. I am hoping someone on here can help me out. The pedal return spring on my...

    Thanks Kraig. I must have sniffed too much gas and oil yesterday. I swear I looked on the main page and must have just plain missed it. Thanks for the help! Brent

    Good evening all - just wanted to give a quick update on the problem I was having with the 125 charging system. History: The charging system was pushing out too much voltage and not in a consistent manner. This seemed to be either overcharging or undercharging my battery; effectively killing it...

    Billy Drake - Thanks for the input. I ran the load test and the SG seems fine. So I switched out the Voltage Regulator with another I had sitting around but am getting the same results. And by "the same", I mean exactly the same. So I'm at a bit of a loss. Unless the wiring is just plain wrong...

    Okay electrical gurus - I got one for you... My 125 had a problem with the battery draining on it when not in use. I diagnosed the problem and could not find any shorted circuits anywhere. I cleaned all the terminals anyway, just to do some general housekeeping. Then I switched out the...

    Picked up a new toy today!! The seat the PO has sitting on it came from a green tractor, but the original seat pan is still underneath. The tractor is in really clean shape and I'm excited to put it to work. The price was right as well (I've purchased parts tractors for less). And as a...

    Dan Bauer - Excellent news on the governor replacement. I have not had a chance yet to address my broken cross shaft, but am encouraged to hear that it can be done without any major engine overhaul. I would love to see pictures if you have them. Thanks so much for the updates and congrats on...

    Thanks for the input Dennis. That's semi-good news, if true. In theory that would mean that as long as I haven't disturbed the governor gear and flyweights, that I should be able to just install the new shaft. Of course I'll still need to somehow get the broken metal tab out of the oil pan...

    Hi Dan, I'd definitely be interested in seeing how your progress goes. Everything I've read says to remove EVERYTHING from the crankcase to access the governor. I'm holding out hope that I don't have to, so if you manage to get it done I'd love to see the photos and get any info you may have...

    Well today was a bust, literally. I've been playing with a 123 that I picked up a couple months ago. It ran (sort of) when I bought it, but now it is extremely hard starting. New battery, cleaned all wiring contacts and it finally started yesterday. But today it wouldn't start again and it was...

    James - Yes, Welcome! As Kraig mentioned, I did have this issue a couple weeks ago on my 125. The reverse check valve was stuck down which was allowing the fluid to bypass and give no reverse. Kind of a pain to take a NF apart, but while you are there it is a perfect time to clean everything...

    Kraig - Yes, I did see that post, as well as several other ideas online. My initial cleaning used a couple bottles of "The Works" toilet bowl cleaner and a length of chain to shake around. Then I realized afterward that the tank has a web in it that won't allow the chain to get to. So I had to...
