Default Float Button

Replaced the float button on the lift arm today. I'd been living without it several years after a hack job replacement of the release button. The top of the release button had broken off and I didn't realize the button threads onto the release rod until after I had destroyed the float button removing it - lessons learned.

After mounting the dozer blade I saw how handy it would be. I found one mail order and taped it onto a socket. Drove it about half way in and then used a toothpick to apply some Loctite Stud-N-Bearing Mount for good measure. Time will tell how it holds up. Yeah - I could use a new seat and rubber grip too.

Today I put the QA 42 snow thrower on the 123. After sleeping for 2 years it woke right up.

It's been that long since you got enough snow to use the 123? Or you just wanted to "play in the snow?"

I got tired of shoveling, did some cleanup around the mailbox and around the cub storage area.
Yes and also I may add I wanted to play in the snow.

Worked on the hood for my 104 restoration. One of the pivot bushings was missing and the other was about to fall off.

I made a replacement for the missing on from a slice of 1" round and pinch welded them back on after cleaning up the weld area.

Next up will be a new cross brace to replace the cracked original. Will be made from 16ga instead of the original 18ga.

Looks like that'll do the job.

Well I put the new carb, points, breaker rod, and condenser on the 102. It runs like a dream. They gave me the wrong spark plug and I picked out the wrong coil wire myself. These can wait til another day. I did pull the spark plug out and was a little sooty. Cleaned it and reinstalled. I figure it was where the other carb was outta whack. Still gotta figure out the steering wheel nut. Not sure if it's still mushroomed a tiny bit or if I'm trying to put the wrong nut on it. I'll get it though

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.
