    Original cub - main frame to reduction gear case

    I almost bought one of those rigid hones recently to over bore this motor. But ended up finding a local shop to do it. Would have to have 4 motors bored out to cover the cost of the tool which I may buy anyways, just not now. Machine tools sized for around the house have really seem to have...

    Original cub - main frame to reduction gear case

    Must have. Just wish I would have noticed how rough this machine really was when before I bought it. I knew it was rough, but not this rough. The front spindles were worn real bad, rims too, the piston cylinder was tapered, and out of tolerance - thats at the machine shop now. The main...

    Original cub - main frame to reduction gear case

    On a positive note, I also had an issue with the transmission. Reverse and 1st gear would not hold in gear, or in neutral positions. When I removed the reduction gear case, I found the detent ball for the shifter rail down in the sump. Was able to remove that shift rail, put the detent ball...

    Original cub - main frame to reduction gear case

    Thought I read somewhere that there is/was a reinforcement kit for this connection. The frame was previously “repaired” with braze at this connection point. Ive got it apart and working on cleaning up that “repair” Almost done with that process and will add reinforcement to make it sound...

    Whats keeping this clutch from coming apart?

    I see it now, its a different type of set screw collar then I have. Again, apologies.

    Whats keeping this clutch from coming apart?

    Somehow I doubt that. I meant no disrespect if it came off that way. And I always appreciate input.

    Whats keeping this clutch from coming apart?

    Think that set screw collar is supposed to be there. This is the cross section breakdown in the chassis manual. Think its an older design then those replacement parts. Well I got it off, but still trying to figure out how to make sure the clutch works. Looks like I need to put the assembly in...

    Whats keeping this clutch from coming apart?

    Original - dont know the year for sure early to mid 60’s probably. All 3 bolts to the frame have been removed, and the link from the clutch pedal is removed also. I would think it should just separate at this point. Serial number 14857 Pretty user unfriendly design for when that drive belt...

    Thank you for allowing me to join the forum. I recently was given 2- Cub Cadet Garden Tractors (a 124 and a 102) one running and one not but close.

    Good luck getting number 2 running

    Original cub brake assembly

    Does the brake assembly ride in an oil bath along with the differential gears? Reason I ask is I noticed an oil puddle below the case directly below the brake. This was after I cleaned a bunch of grime off the tractor yesterday.

    help with rebuild kit for ih cub cadet 104 10 hp k241

    Have you torn the motor down and checked the measurements against the specs? You may find you dont need anything beyond gaskets, cleaning and paint, or find you need more then you think.

    Original cub - no start, no nothing

    Like that GMC/Chevy pick up in the background the most. 60?

    Original cub - no start, no nothing

    Took all the measurements, gotta replace the connecting rod too. Figured since I need the piston and connecting rod that I may as well just get a complete overhaul kit. So I ordered that with the .20 over pistons, and pressed the bearings out of the bearing plate. So it will get a total...

    Original cub - no start, no nothing

    All apart now. Gonna take a complete set of measurements tomorrow, then order what I need, once parts are in hand, I’ll deliver to the machine shop for over bore.

    Original cub - no start, no nothing

    I believe the deck belt did run all the time. It definitely did on this machine. There are many “make work” type repairs and alterations on the machine. Ive heard on the correct mower decks for this machine, the original PTO was on the deck, and you would step on it to engage.

    Original cub - no start, no nothing

    Is this a centrifugal clutch? Is it supposed to be there? And was this one mounted backwards, and welded to make a fixed pulley? Mounted to the same shaft as the pulley for the starter generator. Was attached to a goofy belt system that ultimately drove the mower deck.

    Original cub - no start, no nothing

    Just found a local machine shop that can bore the cylinder. Think I’ll go that route. Gonna tear down the rest of the way and make sure nothing else is too messed up. Then go from there.

    Original cub - no start, no nothing

    I agree. Its already on order. Im also gonna lap the valves and adjust the tappet clearance. The intake has no tappet clearance. Have to trim down the valve stem at least .006. Should be able to just do that with sand paper. We will see what happens.

    Original cub - no start, no nothing

    Im not sure what it was - seemed like crusted up dirt. The machine has been sitting for who knows how long before I bought it. The blow by Im referring to seems like through the head gasket, near the exhaust port. You can seen the pattern change of the gasket around that area.
