nice find and pictures when you can please

Never happened. No pictures:biggrin2:
By the way :Welcome2:

Congratulations on the 100, Id like one of those. I just had a similar experience cutting down trees and fences and moving tons of junk and boat motors to get my latest two. Pictures please, take lots

welcome to the fever...

I can wait for pics,post them at your leisure...

Some guys have all the luck


All I have ever found I the woods is 'skeeters, snakes & skunks.

Congrats on the model 100 find. Hope it runs or is very easily fixable.


Never understood why some folks just leave things outside like that to rust away. My 800 cadet is rough, but it still mows the yard. Currently have the 38a deck off the tractor for spindle bearing work and blade sharpen.

Again, a tip of the hat on your find

You lucky dog! I wish I could get more stuff like that. It's always nice to see an ild Cub getting saved.

Thanks everyone! well an update on it is that It must need a connecting rod, I can turn the motor by hand but it turns a little too easy, I pulled the spark plug out in the dark last night and could not feel any compression. Its a little dis heartening, it sure is fun to get em running when you pull em out of the grave yard, but it will still be a fun project, just take a little longer. Pics tomorrow hopefully.

Can't wait to see the pics. :beerchug:

If the tractor has sat for a long time and has no compression you may just have a valve stuck open. Don't condemn the rod just yet. Take off the valve cover and look inside. Rotate engine and if valve is stuck, tappet will have large clearance between it and valve stem and valve will not have movement. You may know this but my last one suffered from this disease, freed up valve and compression returned.

If the tractor has sat in the woods for a long time, and you can actually turn the crank easily...... I'd be surprised if it was a stuck valve. Most of the time engines that sit outside for a long time get stuck.
