    Where can you buy American Made tire tubes in our sizes?

    Last year I used some Firestone tubes to fit two 4.80 x 8 tires. I'd had the tubes for a few years, and they were ink stamped "Made in USA"....in Arkansas, I think.

    K241 Oil Breather Vapor and Exhaust Fumes

    Sure sounds to me like the piston rings aren't seated. I question "honing" the cylinder bore for a .005" oversized piston. I had this same problem in 2010 on a 105 that had been in the family since new. Back then, I found the cylinder bore diameter was a bit over service tolerances, but not...

    Hello from Wisconsin

    On the Original, the 70, the 100 and possibly others, even fenders were optional!

    Hello from Wisconsin

    Lights were an option on nearly all Cub Cadets I believe, even on the Original.

    It takes an equal amount of effort to paint with mediocre paint as it does the good stuff.

    Overhauling my Cub Cadet 72

    For the 6.00x12 rears, the only tires I can find that look original are the Miller Tire Firestones, and they're about $150 each. You'll never match the original Goodyear front tires, as they've been out of production for over 30 years. The square shoulder sawtooth tires is about the best you...

    Hello from VT

    Sounds like an issue I had on a Cadet 104 with a K241, an engine almost identical to yours, save for the bore and stroke. I had a sticking valve that caused the issue. If I were you, I'd remove the cylinder head and check the bore for any scoring. If you find none, remove the valve chamber...

    4.80 x 8: DO NOT buy wheelbarrow tires!!!

    Overhauling my Cub Cadet 72

    You'd be best to Google each tire size, and see what you can find. You can get 4.80 x 8 tires at Walmart, Tractor Supveey ply and the like, but get the ones with a sawtooth pattern. Those "knobbies" just don't look right. As for the 600 x 12 tires, I spent an hour looking, and most of what I...

    Does my 42" mower deck need a tensioner pulley?

    I have gone on line directly to Cub Cadet for deck parts, as well as to Parts Tree, which has excellent exploded deck views and reasonable prices.

    Overhauling my Cub Cadet 72

    For the Cub Cadet 72, the original white is IH 902, and the yellow is IH 483. Unless you're a purist, you can find these colors in Rustoleum Farm and Implemented colors. You may have to hunt a bit. I used Rustoleum Farm IH red to repaint my Cadet 782 hood, and it matched the rest of the...

    Does my 42" mower deck need a tensioner pulley?

    Those hardware store springs don't cut it. They're either too long, too short, or the wire size isn't right. They just don't work!

    Cold Start

    I bought a CCC 782 at an auction two years ago. I had trouble getting it started, especially in colder weather. What I found was fuel was leaking padt the carb needle valve, flooding the cylinders. This happened anytime the fuel tank was over 1/2 full. Replacement carbs are mostly Chinese...

    Does my 42" mower deck need a tensioner pulley?

    A spring loaded idler arm and pulley should be located between the center and righthand blade drive pullies.
