Chris B,
Your 1000 was made between 10/1974 TO 9/1979.
Not knowing what muffler you put on it, it's hard to tell you what to do to solve your problem.
If you installed the correct muffler, then that's what your gonna have noise wise that is.

Howdy, Gentlemen!
I'm new to this forum and I hope to learn how to better take care of my Ol' 129 Cubbie!
Nothing fancy, I just mow about 2 acres with a 42" deck. I was reading some of the recent posts and there was some chat about "smoke" coming out of the valve breather cover vent being "bad".
Would someone please explain to me why this is bad a bad thing and if/how can I correct it?
TIA,
RDW

Peter, Davide, what do you guys mean by "rag" joints? Is it something like the rubber disk between the driveline and input plate?
And Ryan, funny you should mention that, my 102 started smoking out of the side valve cover vents today...It usually means time for a gasket change...does anyone else have any suggestions?

Yup. That's what we were talk'in about.
Trevor F,
Here's the rag joint right behind the fan.
Ryan W.
Here's the breather assembly, They get plugged with gunk over time and even break so it's a good idea to clean up real good from time to time. And sometimes even replace the parts.
Bad/cracked/worn rings, valve guides and old age can be some causes.

I guess I oughta add this too, just in case.
Trevor,
Yes there is a way, lean to the left, then the right one will spin!
Or you could go here, http://cubfaq.com/neutraladjust.html
That might work too.
BUT then again it might not if your talking about your 102?

Charlie,
My mistake--it is a 100. I know when it was built because I was 12 years old when I got it. I'm now 53.
As for the noise, I was wondering if anyone knew of an aftermarket muffler that would tame this thing. It didn't bother me when I was a kid in the country, but as a middle-ager in the suburbs, my neighbors rebel at the noise when my grandkids are tracing the fence-line at wide-open-throttle in my childhood novelty. The brie-eaters have little patience for their wine glasses vibrating off the patio table from the thunder of my 10 HP mini-tractor.
Yes, I did install the muffler correctly, and it is no more, nor less noisy than it was before I installed it. Probably the old muffler was operating perfectly as designed and it was only me who has deteriorated.
Anyway, if any of the Cub aficionados have suggestions for taming my Cadet, I'd love to hear of it. I'll post a photo or two when I get out the camera. I did a full off-frame restoration of my beloved Cub about 10 years ago and she still looks pretty nice.

Chris B,
That being the case, The only way I know of would be to add one of these things on it. They do quiet them down a lot.
Or head down to your local small engine shop and snoop around for what they have for aftermarket mufflers.
100's are loud no matter what.

OK...It's "newbie" question time.
I've got a 127 that is a weekly driver/fixer. After having it for 20+ years, I decided this spring to service the hydro. After emptying out the quart or so of fluid that was in the tranny/rear end, and replacing it with Hy-Tran up to the PROPER level, the tranny sprung a leak. The seal at the control lever (trunion shaft ay.?) seems to be the culprit. Does anyone know of an easy way to replace the oil seal on this shaft short of disassembling the tranny? I don't mind so much having to work on the old Cub every time I use it, but major disassembly is making a new Z-Force look increasingly attractive.
Thanks for any input,
Vince

I don't know where the term "rag joint" originates from. It has been circulating for some time now. The Proper Term listed in the the IH Parts Manual is: Flex Disc Coupling. Which ever you decide to use, it is the rubber circular discs on the drive shaft.

Vince,
1 quart of Hy-Tran?---- should be over a gallon.
If you need to work on/repair your Cub every time you use it, perhaps its time to refurbish areas that are worn out from years of service,
I think then you would have a much more reliable machine. Kind of like an automoble that has had minimal maintenance and at 70-80k has all kinds of repairs needed.
