The paint chart in the FAQ's lists cross references for the old IHC #901 paint (renovating an IHC Cub Cadet 123 hydro). I've checked with 4 different NAPA dealers in my area for the Martin Senour NAPA 99L-3965 and they have no idea what that number is. Not in their computer.
Can anyone provide me with a good NAPA number or a different source for the #901 paint?
I have a 1450 that I am building back up, and it had a Mallory coil on it. Will any automotive coil work on these, and/or is there any one brand that works better than others?
"I have a 1450 that I am building back up, and it had a Mallory coil on it. Will any automotive coil work on these, and/or is there any one brand that works better than others?"
Not unless you get the proper resistor to drop the voltage to spec. I tried an aftermarket coil and it ran like poo. After just a short time, the points (new) were shot). I bought the proper coil (for less than the automotive) and a new set of points. It runs outstanding now.
Kraig and Don T:
A followup on the surface prep before paint..
I used to use lacquer thinner, till I had some issues with fresh paint that turned out to be some wax still on the surface, after all the prep was done.. I started following Dupont's suggestion and use DuPont™ Prep-Sol® 3919S™ Cleaning Solvent, as outlined by these Dupont tech tips. The problem with lacquer thinner? It will dissolve the wax, but not lift it, so you end up smearing it around and leaving some behind.
The mule drive pulleys on the 128 are original, and must be the stamped version. No snap rings. I picked up two new ones from my local shop. They came in a Stens bag, at $11.00 bucks a pop....
Hey guys. I just finished restoring a 125. I have never set the timing on a k301 or any other kohler engine before. Can anyone give me the correct steps to follow?
