Yeah, I would really like to look that book over. I really like my cubs even though 2 are down right now (1050 has clutch vibration, and just blew the 1862 engine, pretty sure the governor gear came apart and knocked a whole in the case
). Which don't give me time to restore the "O". I'll try to get pics later. Thanks for the interest.
