    Parts Wanted KT-17 Series II Engine or later

    Looking for a good usable Kohler KT-17 Series II engine for a 782. Prefer running but will consider those needing rebuild. Willing to consider later derivatives as well. Let me know what you have.

    IH Outdoor Power Products Symbol

    Did IH ever have a symbol for Cub Cadets/Outdoor Power Products that they used on the tall IH dealer Pylon Signs that dealers had out in front of their dealerships back in the 70's - early 80's to help identify the products they sold? For example the tractor symbol signified that the dealer...

    Yikes! The weather guessers are talking snow today here in Kansas. I was still planning to mow once more before digging out the front blade and mounting it on the 149. Still waiting for the garden to dry out as well so I can plow it.

    Larry K, Removal of the PTO clutch shouldn't damage the triangle tension spring. The PTO clutch rebuild kit contains a new spring. The spring is not available by itself. I had a tough time getting the basket pulley off the crankshaft on a K301 I'm currently rebuilding. You can't pull/pry...

    Greg L., A 109 has the durable K241 10 hp engine. There is some thought that the 105, 107 and 109 models were a little underpowered with the hydro transmission. When IH introduced the Quietline models, they didn't offer a 1050 model (10 hp w/hydro). It can easily handle a 38" or 42" deck...

    Kraig M, Nice score on the 1450 and an awesome price with weights and snow thrower too. Charlie and you should both go buy lottery tickets this week! I too grew up on the LH hydro lever configuration but today I run both configurations (149 and 782) and have actually come to prefer the...

    Josh S, Put a want ad in the classified section here on the forum for the lift bar and mounting plate you need to transfer your IH lift hitch to your dad's 149. I'm sure someone has those parts laying around. Also there is an hitch installation manual in the Manuals section under...

    Earl L, Another thing to check is the points gap and timing. If the timing has gotten off (retarded) it can cause the engine to seeming labor/lose power because spark is occuring too late and you are not getting full benefit of the combustion during the power stroke and the engine may run...

    David S, Has your crankshaft been reground to .010" under? Did you put in a new connecting rod and is it for a .010" under crankshaft? I don't believe a K321AQS has balance gears so we can cross those off the list. It would also have an electric PTO clutch so I doubt that would be the...

    Scott C, You have a 123 which was the first and only Hydro model made in the 1X2/3 series. It was introduced midway through the 3 years that IH produced this series. I can see that it has a Kohler engine which should be a model K301A and puts out 12 hp. The Walboro carb currently on your...

    Don T, The clutch on the right is the correct one for a 125. Terry D, Much good advise here on the removal of your set screws in the PTO clutch. Make sure the hex edges of your allen wrench are sharp, i.e. not rounded on the end. Get a new allen wrench if necessary. I always tap on...

    Bill J, I'd just by a new or a good used wire harness and set of battery cables for a 1X8/9 series Cub Cadet if you want to move the battery and and voltage reg under the seat. Be a lot easier and cheaper than making your own when you consider your time. The sponsors above can fix you right...

    Frank S, As Richard P. pointed out on a possible exhaust leak by your muffler clamp, I noticed that the paint on your governer arm looks like its getting very hot and has some carbon build up on it. If those hot exhaust gases get to the carb, they can cause a vapor lock.

    Lucas C, My top model picks for the things you're wanting to do are the 149 and 782. The hydro drive is great and the hydraulic lift on these comes in real handy for lifting heavy implements like plows and tillers. The 1450 and 1650 Quietline models would also work good too as they also...

    Paul B, Interesting find on that homemade tractor. Those front hubs look like they are for some type of industrial application/use. Wow, a brand new IH Cub Cadet tranny! It's amazing that the transmission shafts and gears aren't all rusted together from not having any oil in the tranny for...

    Keith W, Yes, at some point during the production run of the QL series, IH went back to the internal wet brake from the 2/3 series and was continued into the 82 series. Using the parts look up link above you will see that 1000's came with either the external caliber brakes on the axles or the...

    Ken F, Yes, the spirol roll pin common to the lift handle and rock shaft is the likely culprit for lack of lift height and is probably bent or partially sheared from repeated use over the years. Yes, they can be a pain to remove. The difficult thing is finding access for getting a good swing...

    Jared C, The 169 is rare Cubby compared the 1250 and there's not many of them around so I would fix up your hydro on it rather than canibalize your 169's engine for the 1250. You would have numerous challenges trying to put the 169 engine in a QL chassis. If you haven't changed the...

    Kraig, How about those Service vehicle pickups? Those where some of the best pickups IH made! When was that photo taken? I'm guessing late 60's based on the 56 series tractors on tractor row. To bad there not a Cubby or two in the picture to keep on topic.

    Robert F, Generally when your pushing good snow, the skids won't leave any scratches or marks on your concrete. Set the skids so there is a .125-.25 inch gap between the blade edge and the concrete. This will prevent wearing down your blade edge so fast and it will allow a small amount of...
