Default K301a sediment bowl

While trying to find and evict some wasps from the parts 125, I found the original sediment bowl and copper line. I would like to put it on the running machine. I can’t get the bowl itself off will soaking it in warm water soften the bond?

Not sure if it will or not but, it sure won't hurt to try. If not try something
else. If it goes south the bowl and such are available.

Lacquer thinner usually will break the bond if soaked long enough

After about 4 hours of really hot water and dawn dish soap I managed to get the bowl off, and was promptly met with the most foul smelling old gas that was just basically grey powder. Put it outside in the rain to air out. I’m surprised that everything on it moved with very little effort even the gasket seems fine.

Every time I have those sediment bowls off and back on they seem to
seep a little bit. Even with new gaskets. Usually I just keep it clean and
run it for a few days and they stop seeping. Glad you got it off.

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.
