Got A "New" Truck
My 78' Chevy work truck is going to need some downtime to fix a few things. I was looking for an old truck to use while it's down and found this - a 64' 3/4 ton with a dump bed. I've been wanting a dump truck for a long time. Manual windows, brakes, and steering and no fancy gadgets or computer to fiddle with. I paid $1400 for it.
It needs some attention on the brakes (it pulls to the left), steel bed (needs rebuilt), cooling system (?) and gas line/fuel pump(?) (see below). As I was driving it home, I noticed it was running a little hotter than it should. I stopped to look under the hood, and that's when I noticed someone put the wrong fan on. It was blowing forward, and as you can see in the pic, the exhaust is pretty close to the fan. That probably didn't help cool it very well. Sitting on the side idling brought the temp down a little. A couple miles later, it just died. It would run if you poured gas down the carb. It may have vapor locked, but I've never had a vehicle do that before, so I was in new territory if that was the problem. I let it set 45 minutes, but it still wouldn't run on its own. I didn't have any tools, parts stores were closed, and I had to get up early today, so I called a tow truck and let them take it home. It's a real simple fuel system, so I'll figure it out and get it running next weekend.

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.
