I finally got my PTO back together. It still won't disengage unless I over tighten the control rod adjustment a little. I headed down the driveway with the snow thrower this morning, got about half way and broke the chain that drives the auger. I have to hurry home from work and put the...- brader

Donald & Ken, Ok, I'll pickup a new button. I already replaced the other button... the one on the lever that disengages the PTO. It looks to me like the ends of the gauge are not supposed to rest on the recessed machined surface where the spring sits (like I have it) but up on the top...- brader

I'm trying to get the PTO on my 123 working. I followed the instructions to adjust it using the gauge that came with the rebuild kit. It seems that the screws are way too tight. I installed it like this and it wouldn't disengage. I'm wondering if this looks right to you guys...- brader

Matt, What software did you use for those drawings? I think you called it "inventor"?- brader

Don, I thought about hammering around the rim where the bearing fits in like that but I was afraid I'd end up with it off center. I take it you didn't have that problem? Maybe I'll give it a try.- brader

Christopher, The cap on the spindle was loose because the hole through the spindle was worn mostly at the ends of the hole. I took my cheap wire feed welder and welded a little on the inside of the hole at one end. Then I drilled through from the other side. I was going to do the same for...- brader

I did some work on my 123 last night to tighten up the steering. I fixed the connection between the left spindle and the cap/arm and that made a huge difference. I should be able to plow in a straight line now! In the process I found that I need new front wheel bearings. Also, the inner...- brader

KENtuckyKEN, I believe I have 30w in there now. Sounds like everyone has had good luck with a 7/16 head bolt. Maybe I should trust my repaired threads after all. Aaytay, I was leaning towards using the charging system, starter and PTO clutch from the 1250 if possible. One way or...- brader

Alright...enough with the programmer rips. If it wasn't for us you guys would be posting your questions about cubs with a postcard and a pencil instead of online. If anyone else wants to rip us programmers take a look at Aaytay's quote in his profile first. ..for the record, Aaytay, I...- brader

Funny Kraig, I find that is is not the 32 bit programs that are the problem, its usually the 2 bit users. Maybe I should update the profile. I moved from MN to WI about a year and a half ago when I got married. I'm a MN Viking fan and my friends think I will become a Green Bay fan (not...- brader

Charlie, Yep, I know compression isn't the best measure of the health of one of these engines but it is all I had. It also uses some oil so that also makes me suspect the rings are bad (or the valve guides?). Anyway, I may take the head off and measure the cylinder and see how it looks. I...- brader

Thanks Charlie, Two reasons for not rebuilding the engine that is in there. First one, why not go bigger? But the more important reason is that one of the head bolts broke off and I did a poor job of removing the remainder of the bolt. I ended up drilling it out and tapping it at the next...- brader

Well, I didn't get any bites on my question about taking the k301 out of my 1250 and putting it in the 123 so I'm thinking of a different plan now. I think I may just get a different block and build a new engine. Would it be possible to fit a K321 or K341 into the 123 frame without much...- brader

I'm having some big problems with the engine in my 123. I'm thinking that the quickest fix right now would be to swap engines. Does anyone know what kind of issues I would run into taking the engine from my 1250 and putting it in the 123? I know the motor mounts are different. If I used most...- brader

I'd like to put a set of ag rear tires on my 123. Is the 23x8.50-12 carlisle Power Trac a good choice? http://www.carlisletire.com/products/big_biters/powertrac/index.html Thanks- brader
