Ok, so some minor progress made on the 107 tonight. I got the lights all sorted out and properly grounded, instead of just hanging on the bottom of the fiberglass cowl screws. A little difficult since I refuse to drill any holes, but I decided on the bottom bolt for the throttle on the right side, and the bottom bolt for the hood latch on the left side. Lights are still nice and bright, with a proper OEM push-pull switch that works like a charm!
I also took the time to adjust the governor sensitivity with the spring, I found that it was one hole off how it should've been set from factory. So I set it back to the factory settings and we'll see how that helps the governor! Progress was hindered a bit today because of work finding front tires for a certain off-topic machine... tomorrow assuming all goes well, I might even be able to fire the 107 up for the first time in almost 3 months. We'll see though...

It's Alive!!!!! (again, for the first time in 3 months) Changed the oil, tightened everything back up good, hooked up a battery, 5-6 cranks with partial choke and she fired up no problem. Blew some smoke for the first minute, which is normal for when it sits  . Took her for a drive, man the hydro control is nice now that it's all loosened up. Throttle sensitivity is much better but still needs to be increased a little bit.Of course, pics or it didn't happen, she was idling in all these, IMG_20210409_193300.jpgIMG_20210409_193314.jpg IMG_20210409_193337.jpgIMG_20210409_193403.jpg And here she is back in her home, IMG_20210409_193923.jpg Also note the lights, they are working well and are nice and bright! I took a video of the startup and drive, I'll see about getting that on Youtube so you guys can see it. So what's next? Well, still needs governor work. And I'm gonna add a 2nd flex disc to the driveshaft as the single one in there now seems to be taking up a lot of space that would fit 2 nicely. Hopefully it'll also reduce some vibrations, which will never completely go away til I order onna dem fancy new drive hubs from Jeff in PA. But I'm happy! It feels great to fire up my pride n' joy and take her for a spin again!

Nicely done. There is something pretty dog gone special about hearing
it fire up after being torn down for a while. Also a bit scary, at least around here. Not sure I will ever get over the jitters on the initial start up. Congratulations, it's a big thing, I know. Ken

Honestly I was more scared about it NOT firing up, especially since I was recording it! I guess worst thing that could've happened would've been bad gas or corroded points, but still, she usually always fires right up. Didn't let me down tonight though. And, its cool to remember that this is the tractor that started it all for me. Without this 107 I wouldn't be "Cubcadet_107" now would I! Interesting side note, the overhang where she currently resides, I actually constructed 2 years ago for the sole purpose of storing the 107. At that time, I definitely didn't think I'd have 4 Cubs that need a place to stay!

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.
