Some guys have all the luck


All I have ever found I the woods is 'skeeters, snakes & skunks.

Congrats on the model 100 find. Hope it runs or is very easily fixable.


Never understood why some folks just leave things outside like that to rust away. My 800 cadet is rough, but it still mows the yard. Currently have the 38a deck off the tractor for spindle bearing work and blade sharpen.

Again, a tip of the hat on your find

Regards. Cubby Guy

Thanks everyone! well an update on it is that It must need a connecting rod, I can turn the motor by hand but it turns a little too easy, I pulled the spark plug out in the dark last night and could not feel any compression. Its a little dis heartening, it sure is fun to get em running when you pull em out of the grave yard, but it will still be a fun project, just take a little longer. Pics tomorrow hopefully.

If the tractor has sat for a long time and has no compression you may just have a valve stuck open. Don't condemn the rod just yet. Take off the valve cover and look inside. Rotate engine and if valve is stuck, tappet will have large clearance between it and valve stem and valve will not have movement. You may know this but my last one suffered from this disease, freed up valve and compression returned.

If the tractor has sat in the woods for a long time, and you can actually turn the crank easily...... I'd be surprised if it was a stuck valve. Most of the time engines that sit outside for a long time get stuck.

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.
