Yes the K161T had a stator. You will probably find the coil badly cracked once you pull the flywheel. A new coil is hard to find and expensive but if it were my Grandpa's tractor I would fix it.

As someone that knows very little about the early Cubs would this likely be an early serial number O?
And I agree if it was my grandfathers I would keep it and try to restore it.

Cool
It is not a stator.It is a magneto for clarification purposes. Yes they do crack but before you pull the flywheel, put a new set of points,gap them to .020 put a new condenser on it and give it a few pulls while holding the end of the spark plug wire in your hand and see what happens.

Unless you have a spark tester....

Hope this helps

The condenser is also behind the flywheel.

Like I said I know very little about the early Cubs. I do love Old Iron. Any chance you have pics of the engine under the flywheel?

Thanks
Mac

Alright so i think this is my plan, new points, condenser and possibly plug wire. I was talking to a buddy of mine and he recommended something to the point that it does have an on/off switch on it that shuts the tractor off, and the dang switch is so corroded it cant even read which way is on or off.(but yes i did try starting it in both positions) Unfortunately, hunting season starts on saturday up here in new york, so it doesn't look like too much will be going on until monday night, but hopefully sooner than later. And good luck to all the guys going out on opening day!

No, but I wish I did 10 years ago. It's very tight under the flywheel. This pic is very similar.

Thanks for that one. Most of the stuff I do is mid 80's and up. Love old earth moving equipment from the late 40's and up. Nothing like a NorthWest 80D with a Murphy diesel.

well, finally got back outside today to try and mess around with that tractor since its a nice day and the sun is out. sprayed some starting fluid in the spark plug hole, and pulled it once, got a small pop, pulled it a third time and got a loud pop out of the engine then after about 10 more pulls nothing happened. Not really sure what to do next, any tips or tricks would be appreciated. thanks.

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.
