Default Help!!!!
Well I figured out why my 71 won't start, because the rod that rides on the cam shaft to open and close the points doesn't go in and out. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix it!!!! I want to get this motor running.

You will need Kohler 41 411 01-S. It is available from your local Cub Cadet or Kohler Dealers. The above sponsor would be more than willing to send this to you also.

Some of the original push rods were made of aluminum. If the motor was run low in oil and the push rod area got dry, they got "chewed up". The new replacements are all steel.

If its not going in and out it is either stuck out all the way, worn and stuck, or the cam is broke. The first thing to do is see if you can pull it out. If it's stuck in there it it might be the only issue. If not it could be something worse.......

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
