I start with 180 and once I get close I finish with 220. When your done it should look the same on all the contact area.

Did you install new valves?
Where'd you get that red valve spring?

Those are the old valves, I just cleaned them up.

The red spring on the intake was there already.

Huh. Never thought of using a magnet on the valve to hold the keepers on before. I always just lubed them up with oil or grease and got them to stick to the valve. Pretty good idea!

Thanks, I used the dab of grease method on the first valve but space was so tight on the second that I tried the magnet.

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.
