Can a K-161 Run with no starter/generator?
New Guy to the forum, so please let me know if this should be posted somewhere else.
I acquired a Cub Cadet 70 that has been a lawn ornament for more than a dozen years! When it first came home it couldn't even roll. The internal brake was frozen/stuck, and a bent shifter fork meant it was in 1st and 3rd at same time. But after disassembly and cleaning the entire tranny etc; it now rolls in neutral! There was more water inside the tranny than Oil!!! Ok, so before I get into doing anything else I need to determine if the engine can be saved. The starter/gen is missing, but everything else appears to be there. I know I'm going to have to clean/rebuild the carb. Probably have to replace the points, and at least check the coil (etc.) but my base question is as follows: Assuming I clean the rest of the engine up and don't find anything else totally fubar'd. Is it possible to make sure it runs (etc.) before I spend the money to find&fix a starter/gen? So hooking it up to a newly charged battery, would it be possible to 'pull start' it in some fashion. at least enough to diagnose any remaining engine issues? Side note: I had to cut the driveshaft in half to split her! those pins weren't coming out no how! (still not sure they will!) so I will have to find/make a new shaft! Im sure there will be more questions as I get time to do more work on it. But I just had to get it rolling so I could move it out of the way when not working on it!! lol

Yup if you can roll it over it'll run but you gotta have 12v to the+ side of the coil to power up the ignition or you will never have spark

Agreed, 12 volts to coil and half decent points should get you a burp or fart if you can get something wrapped around the pulley and have some a$$ to pull it.
What your need to do is download the Operator's Manual from here.... https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/c...Owners+Man.pdf and the Chassis Service Manual from here.... https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/c...ervice+Man.pdf And the Engine Service Manual from here.... http://www.kohlerengines.com/engines...df/tp_2379.pdf And the parts manual from here.... https://www.mymowerparts.com/pdf/Cub...rden-Tractors/

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.
