Ordered a few new parts/bolts to get the 104 back in tip top shape before I decide if it will be my first restore tractor or worker.

Brought the 982 into the shop for spring servicing. Changed oil, sharpened blades, greased, changed hydro filter, gauged tires, washed off---2 months late, but better than never.

I'll leave that up to you Beth. Plenty of obstacles. Thanks.

Thanks Steve, but sometimes I still wish it was cattle pasture instead of lawn.

Installs a few new clevis pins and bolts(appropriate size, fixing tacky repairs). Removed the deck to start a complete rebuild/repaint. Removed the mule drive because it's all bent up, so I'm in the market for another one. Got the clutch return spring installed and started reading about adjusting the clutch so that may be on the menu for tomorrow.

Noticed some oil seepage from around the head gasket, going to dive into that further. Got a compression tester to check the motor may do a top end rebuild while I'm in there. Also noticed a miss at idle, so I'm going to dig into the carb a little bit.

Compression tester won't work on these engines, they have a built in compression release to help them start so the tester will read really low. Unless you're going to bore the engine I wouldn't mess with it, putting new round rings in an egg shaped hole will probably smoke worse than it does now. Pull the head and resurface it and install a new gasket, I always pull the valves and clean them while I have the head off just to avoid them sticking later. Here's a link on how to resurface the head yourself.

Well I guess I keep learning everyday. Honing isn't out of the question however I'm just hoping to use this tractor for a little while. So I guess the little puff of smoke at start up isn't that bad...

Those engine will still run great even when they smoke like a freight train, a little on start up is pretty normal.

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.
