    Paul Bell passed away 4/30/22

    Paul was a very nice man. I got invited to his house several years ago. I bought some parts for a 122 I owned at that time. I got to see the famous GRRRR Cub and the ultra low serial numbered original. A wealth of Cub information and lore. RIP SIR

    New Toy

    I would think so. The drive shaft drives the hydro pump.

    Won’t stay running.

    I now have the rebuild kit and Tygon fuel line for my Cub. I agree with the idea of using non ethanol gasoline. I keep a five gallon translucent dirt bike fuel can of it on hand for the Cub and a older Troy Bilt tiller with a Magnum 8HP Kohler. I still use a fuel stabilizer as from what I read...

    Won’t stay running.

    All good replies folks. I totally appreciate your responses. I took the carb off, pulled the bowl off and found some black colored material inside. I now suspect the black line I used as to gas line is being affected by the fuel. It sits 99.9 of its life seeing occasional use as my snow...

    Won’t stay running.

    I drained the entire fuel system and put fresh gas in. It’s got gas, and good fuel flow the carb inlet fitting. I suspect the float needle is stuck closed. However. There was a bowl full of gas that drained out when I removed the half inch bowl retaining bolt. I’m going to shoot some...

    Won’t stay running.

    yes sir. I thought of that after I was back at the house. I’ll try tapping on the bowl with a screwdriver handle and try to unstick the float valve before I buy a kit. That carb ought to be like new. When I was rehabilitating the 126, that carb soaked in simple green, submerged in a ultra...

    Fellas. I have a 126 with the stock K301A engine. I thought I had a no spark situation due to cankered/chalked over points contacts as the engine would not fire up. It ran fine in the fall and seen use around the yard pulling a #2 garden cart. I pulled the tin cover off the points and ran a...

    Wheel weight ?

    I like the IH steel weights. They were originally intended for the Farmall Cub front wheels. They bolt up perfectly on the IH Cub Cadet rear wheels. I put a set of the Super Garden tractor rear steel wheels that allowed me to use the 12.5 inch wide rear tires. I used the turf tread as my chains...

    Points cover screw threads and sizes.

    Thanks for the replies y’all. I have allen headed screws installed. The idea of making the bottom hole of the points cover a slot, seems to be a good idea.

    Points cover screw threads and sizes.

    Excellent idea. So simple it’s brilliant. Something I am not! Thanks a heap. regards John Mitchell

    Points cover screw threads and sizes.

    I have a idea. I’ve replaced the original slot head screws that fasten the points cover to the engine block with Allen head screws. A vast improvement over trying to start the bottom slot head screw into the hole on the block. What I’m thinking now is. What if I replaced the short Allen...

    Points cleaning?

    Well. Alrighty then. I’m a reckoning that I’m going to have to pop the points cover off every so often and clean the contacts. I have one of the Kirk Transdensers, but have not installed it. I bought it a couple of years or so back. With what Mr Kirk has said on the subject. I expect that...

    Points cleaning?

    Do you think his condenser thing is the culprit with that frequency of needing to clean up the points?
