I think I have one of those mufflers around here somewhere...
Charlie-
I'd have taken ya up on it too! It's a 5-1/2 hour drive back to South Dakota, breakfast was from a gas station in Waukon, IA and lunch was on the tailgate at a rest stop on I90. Thanks for the offer!

Here's one just for the new guys out there.
A guy brought his Cub by tonight, said it wouldn't start.
Fire to both sides of the coil and at the points, but nothing to the plug.
Any of you new guys care to take a stab at what's wrong and how you would trouble shoot it?

Charlie, Did it have a plug or a plug wire?
New plug, new wire, new points gapped right.

Was there gas in the tank? Was the gas shut-off turned on?
Scott,
All the obvious stuff looked and worked just fine. Your gonna have to think just a tad harder than the easy stuff.

Charlie - just when I thought I'd drop in and check out the site, you have to come up with a puzzle problem, and one where all the easy stuff is working correct. It's been so long since I fooled around with Kohlers I can hardly remember the model in my 169 - I think it's a K341. I do remember it's a 13 fin. Anyway, on your problem, I'd guess something like the connector inside the coil was missing. For somebody with only one Cub it would be hard to know that. Don't keep us guessing to long, will ya.
Wyatt - 1st I've seen a poster from the Dakota Territory. I grew up in Vermillion and remember the IH dealer there, now long gone. Not surprising you have to run thru the Cheddar Curtain to find some cubs.
Great to see you guys still posting and diggin into Cubs on here. I'll be back now and again to check things out and keep ya straight on the longest postings. (hope there ain't no limit).

Well, I had to ask about the obvious stuff. I come into the middle of troubleshooting something oinly to find that something obvious was the gotcha. I will have to think more, to early to think that hard right now.
Hey Harry,
Glad to see your still alive and kickin man.
It's been to long since your last 3 page disertation answers to us on Cubs and how to fix'um.
As soon as some of our news guys wake up, I'm sure they will chime right in with an answer.

Don't ya just hate that when you dig around for a hour or two looking for something complicated to make a Cub run, only to find you forgot to push the coil wire down all the way, LOL

WOW - Not only is Wyatt posting again with some frequency but HYDRO Harry made a post!
CHARLIE - That sheet You posted about the IH Employee Sale prices on Cubbies.....I used to live about 3-4 blocks from that dealership. It "USED to Be" WAY out in the country in East Moline but now is right in the middle of town. It was a "Company Store", an idea IH tried for a while. The building had the typical Company style. It's been a night club/sports bar, a couple different tire stores... Dad's '51 M got it's first overhaul & repaint at that dealership, It was called Cheek & Wessel IHC at that time in the late 50's.
When I first started at FARMALL I tried to get "Employee Pricing" on tractor parts, back in about '79.... Local dealers wouldn't give ANY kind of break on price. In Fact, Guy who sat across the partition from Me tried to buy a new QL Cub Cadet or a real early 82-series. His Son-in-law bought the same tractor for LESS$$$ than His Employee price was. The Only "Good Deal" IH gave their management was their Scout Lease program. Parking lots at FARMALL & IH E.Moline were full of manager's Scouts....They could lease them for about $100/month for two years then get another brand new one as long as You didn't put over 12,000/year on them.

Matt G., I remember your Batmobile Cub! That was a while ago.
So lets get back to the Original hood brace thing.
To be honest, I don't ever remember seeing a hood brace on any O I ever had.

Dave,
WELCOME!
Good looking 126!
Charlie, when were we talking about hood braces on an Original?
My Original's hood brace is intact!
