I normally just order parts online for my cub, but sometimes things would break that couldn't wait. Not having access to a Cub parts supplier when we lived in North Carolina, I had to go to one of the large parts stores for a new coil. Of course, 1964 IH Cub Cadet doesn't show up in their all-knowing computer database. "Is it a truck?" they would ask. About to throw my hands up after visiting three different places with no luck, I had an idea. I asked for a coil from a 1973 VW bug. They were all 12V, had internal resistors and are mounted to the fan shroud of a noisy, hot, vibrationy air-cooled engine. They take almost as much punishment as as our cubs dish out. I'm happy to say that it has been mowing along wonderfully for over 3 years, even though I don't get to mow now that we moved to the desert. The kids still enjoy "farming" with Daddy.
