Thumbs up
I will do that. I have heard horror stories with the copper tube in garden tractor applications cracking due to vibration. I may get some heat shielding for the line. All areas where the line would rub on metal have been shielded with a rubber grommet.

If you are comfortable with the searing temperature of it, fine.
if not, you might want to at least make that part of the gauge feed line common 3/16" brake line.
Do be advised the line will be very hot so you don't fry your hand.
Also be advised that the line routing, whatever it is, should not be where it can run on sharp edges/surfaces and wear/chafe a hole which will lead to catastrophic engine failure.
Just a FYI, not to criticize.
Looks a little wet... is it leaking already?

No leaks after reassembly. All of the oily wetness is from me cranking the engine over with the oil galley exposed to blow out any metal from the area after drilling the broken fitting it out and enlarging it from 1/16" to 1/8".

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.
