    The reason I asked about the paint is because I also used IH white on a tire rim, but it looks more like a cream color than white.

    Kevin, what did you use for paint. Color? A Tractor Supply just opened in my town.

    After breaking my small tire changer and almost my arm I said there has to be an easier way to get a tire off the rim and herehttp://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy26/jrc2905/003-1.jpg it is.

    It looks to me that the earlier cubs used a different pulley than the later ones. There are two size belts on the parts page.

    I figured out the belt thing.

    Some of the starter generators I use have a smaller pully and I am having a hard time finding a belt to fit. I would change the pully but they also fit differant. What is up with this?

    Well, the "fleet" are ready for snow. They may not look like much but I have done a lot of work to get here and have them running good. Now time to start working on the summer fleet. http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy26/jrc2905/010.jpg

    I cut the oil finger after I installed the crank because I did not know it was too long until I tried to turn the engine over by hand. I think I will open it up again and use some emery cloth to smooth out the tip for balance, I had ground the tip. I think it will be fine. I think the way the...

    I ordered a replacement piston rod and got one that had the oil pick up longer than the stock version. I am running out of time to get this cub together so I cut off the excess oil pick up and used the rod. I think it will be ok, any opinions on this, my time to work on the cub is limited so yes...

    Speaking of making a rod for the plow, what is the diameter of the stock used, I have looked at some in the hardware stores but do not see anything close.

    I am just kind of confused by the head bolts being on top of the shroud. Some bolts have double washers that are rusted and pitted. How can the torque values be accurate in that setup. When I looks at the parts manuals there is no clear picture on how the washers are used. I also brought my...

    Thanks, this is what mine looks like. Never did make any sense to me, kind of like having your head bolts on top of your valve cover. So do people modify their or is there a kit to change this. http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy26/jrc2905/001.jpg

    I am confused by something, I have searched and do not see any information. Do I have to have the head shroud on when installing the head bolts or are there studs for the head that let me install the shroud after. Thanks.

    This is why I should have had a engine manual, there was a steel flat washer with a lock washer on top from what I could see from the online pictures. I have always worked with steel rods and bearings, maybe I do not understand how critical an aluminum rod is to install.

    Well I did it this time. I just had this engine bored 10 over with a new piston. I am posting pictures of the crank damage. I did the assembly on this motor, I did one before and it works fine. My questions are what options I have for repairs. I could not find the original lock washers for the...

    I started putting my snow thrower together today. The front plate with the spacers stays loose, I do not remember that part moving when I took it apart. Should it move or tighten up? Thanks http://s774.photobucket.com/albums/yy26/jrc2905/?action=view&current=006-2.jpg

    Thanks, now that I know it is from a SIMS cab, I might restore it and when the Wife starts to complain about another tractor in the yard I will tell her it is one of those new HYBRID cars I bought for her.

    Hi I am looking for information on a cub cadet tractor I have. I have 3 in working order and I am sandblasting a snow thrower of this winter. I bought this tractor a long time ago and I am thinking it might be of value to a collector, maybe I could do a trade for parts. I have the engine and...

    Thanks to Kreig KOTP, That helps I had the rod bolt washers wrong, thinking how can you torque a lock washer.
