We had a test-n-tune at a new track last week. Made about 6 pulls. The sled was set up to let you pull over 100 feet. Planted my but firmly in the seat, leaned back as far as I could and kept both hands on the steering wheel to avoid shifting my weight to one side or the other. I could tell a difference. The tractor tracked mostly straight. When it didn't, I could lean to one side or the other to straighten it out. The track was a hard track so no digging holes this time. It was a good day.

Tried different tires. The 23" super lugs did great and pulled 157 feet. The AT101s also did good at 159 feet. My 26" tires didn't do well, 134 feet. I don't have the gears to run them properly.

Our club lost it insurance and had to cancel the last pull. Hoping they straighten it out before the trophy pull in October.

Here is a pic of the offending tire watching habit. You can see the gravel texture of the track.

your supposed to be looking down track to where you want to go, you don't want to hit ruts from someone else. I usually have my run planned before I ever hook to the sled. unless some one takes the line I want to run . I pick an object at the end of the track or keep track of how far off the side line I want to be. I might watch a tire on the starting line as I slip the clutch but even that's is pretty rare. you don't get to where you want to be not looking where you're going

Do you have fluid in your tires or just the rear weight in the back?

I have 70 lbs. of weight in the back. No fluid.

We had a club meeting last night. They found some insurance we can live with.

Thinking about changing the head on my tractor. Would it be better to run an LP head, or one with the heart shaped combustion chamber milled 0.05? As far as I know, every thing in the K301 is stock.

Will I have problems starting the engine with a starter/generator because of the extra compression?

It shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure your S/G has top notch bearings in it.

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.
