Hi all. I have decided to keep my 105 and get her into good useable shape. She is running, I had her out last night for awhile. Some of the issues are:
Seat is shot, I have no Cub dealer local to me, would TSC be able to get me a modern MTD CC seat? I am looking for comfort over originality.
Steering is so sloppy. Do I rebuild my self, order the super steering upgrade from Guy Lauderback? Does anyone have experience with his various kits? He also has a completely rebuilt assembly available for like $165 (yikes).
Starting system needs work. Right now I start with a lead from the big terminal on the starter/gen to the positive on the battery. Lead gets pretty hot and sparks, I don't want to damage anything. Where do I start looking? Starter/gen test? Or is it the solenoid or something like that?
I have a chance to buy a backup carb for the K241 for $38. Is this a good investment? It has new gaskets and inlet needle, but there is some play in the bushings. It is local to me though.
I need a new clutch cable. This and the seatr and steering are first priority and the starting/charging system. Any help or advice is appreciated.
Ok last question. Does Tractor supply carry the maintenance parts? Air cleaner, filters, plugs, hy-tran, etc?
Thanks guys, keep on Cubbing.
