- Scott Tanner... Can't even see the Cub in this mess..
Question:
I am timing the new k321 for the 149, and using the timing mark and a buzz box (DVM w./ beep), the point gap is about 35-40 thousanths... This is a new engine, circa 1978-ish.. Is this normal?
Also, I need to weld this up to get the QA attach point back down to 1/2" .. Any words 'O wisdom?

Hi all,
Just joined recently, as I bought a 125 a month ago.
I have a couple of questions I hope you all can help with.
How do I identify what year the 125 is?
Is there somewhere I can download a manual for it?
Does anyne have an exploded view f the steering gearbox? I have a bunch of play in it, and was wondering hw it loked inside before I did anything with it.
Thanks!! Mark

Rob Dehli,
Excellant photo! I love ride my children on my Cub also, I have four children so I have to pack them into my cart, maybe one gets to ride in my lap. It is wonderful times...Believe it or not, here in Alabama we had a little snow this past Tuesday morning for about 10 minutes until the thunderstorms came through! Thanks for sharing those photos.

Scott T.,
At .035 to .040, that motor would be so far timed in advance it would spit and bark out the carb while cranking over. Sounds like the flywheel key may be sheared slightly. You looking at the right mark? All my K Series like .017-.018, even though .020 is the spec. Kenny

Mark, welcome to the forum! The 125 is my favorite model, I have 2 of them. I also have a 105 which is the 10hp version, though it'll be a 12hp when I get done with it.

Rob, great photo, Cubbin' with the kids!

Mark B., the first thing you'll need to ID the year of your 125 is to get the SN off of it, there should be a SN plate on the left rear next to the drawbar. In case you didn't see the link to the FAQ at the top of the page, here is another LINK to it. FAQ entry #10 is the one you want for finding the age of your Cub Cadet. Be sure to read through the FAQ as there is some good info in it including some info on servicing the steering gear box which is FAQ entry #16.

that's what i 'figgered.. this is a brand new motor, w/ new everything. The timing mark, according to a kohler manual should appear behind the starter motor. I had to drill a hole to see it, to match where the manual says it should be. there is a cast in line on the aluminum plate behind the flywheel. I can see the 'T' and the 'S' stamped into the flywheel. There is another hole below the coil on the other side, but that would be too far the other way... I'm corn-fuzzed....

And who says JD guys don't swing both ways!
Charlie, that's the one model Cub Cadet (a 100) that Robb has said he wouldn't mind owning. It that SB's 100? Where is that photo from?
Kraig,
Robb posted it on the WFM site yesterday, BUT, he did say on the phone yesterday that if he could find a 100 with fenders, creeper and the works for 200 bucks, he'd have to buy it! LOL

Charlie, WHO in their right mind wouldn't buy a Cub Cadet 100 for $200 if it had fenders, a creeper and "the works"?
Kraig; Thanks for the info on Carb repair kits, I had to go back to work yesterday before you posted so just saw your response today. I had bought some kits from CCS in the past but e-mailed them several days ago and had'nt heard back from them yet.So was gonna check with another sponsor but was'nt sure of kit# I needed.
