Well I was finally able to get out and do some storm clean up.. I had to use the CCO today because the 682 will not start after washing her!
  Flaming stacks are COOL! I had to take this while running the fuel out, it's a bit blurry but hey, it was LOUD! :biggrin2.gif:

Well the cold weather is here and I figured this would be a good winter project. So I started pulling apart my 128. The engine is a little tired and uses oil. The clutch is quite worn and hard to use. I know it would be a great opportunity to completely paint it and all that, but it is all original and in great shape, so I think for now I just want to make it mechanically as new as I can. Plan on a rebuild of the engine. Yes I am going to have a shop check the block and am almost certain it will have to be bored. Going with all new parts inside. Plan to upgrade with a new wiring harness, ignition switch, etc., etc.
I know it looks like I was kind of slow, but as I removed bolts I would chase the threads, write down the bolt sizes, location, and so forth so I could replace with new when I am ready to put it back together. The frame and transmission will be cleaned and de-greased and everything lubed replaced as needed. Just a few pictures of today's progress.        The PTO works good but several of the fiber teeth are gone, so I will rebuild it. This is a .30 caliber bore brush. I cleaned out the PTO set screw holes with it then filled the top hole with PB blaster. Will do each hole a few times.

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.
