I just happen to like threads like the OP started.

Reminds me of what my long ago mentor would have/did do.

Lucus is good stuff, like STP it can help when things are a little too loose, a little worn and you want to keep using it until.... 'fixit time'??....

I had a '36 Ford one time, above 60 it would start to knock a little, one rod was loose. I added two cans of STP and drove it for two more years, then did overhaul the motor.

I use it in most small engines, a little at least, these air cooled mills run pretty hot, just a dab of water on the head after a good run will tell you quickly, instant STEAM. I've been asked if it can be used in the Hydrostat ... I'd say if it works now, just use the Hi-Tran and forget about it, really not needed.

John ... Sure, Lucas is good stuff, STP works well also and there are some others that are very good. When a motor is well worn it might be a good idea to use this additive, it can prolong things and prevent a rod through the block or worse. I used STP in my Cub for a few years until I overhauled it last winter, everything was smooth on the inside when it came apart, made things a lot easier for me.

Have a good one ..........

I mowed the lawn for the last time today, noticed that those hood latch hooks on my 149 seem to fall into an awkward position when unlocked, I plan to weld small pieces of steel as a stop, prevent them from falling down any farther than they have to to unlock clear, this will make locking the hood down a lot easier each time. I also made a very nice thing to hold the hood in a proper position when opened, not to far but far enough to prevent wind from blowing it over... shut. A picture might be in order... we'll see.

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.
