Kids had activities tonight. Only got a few minutes to work on the engine. Made the decision to pull the head from the other side. It looked like the head gasket was compromised. The valve guides were in place and push rods are straight as an arrow. I grabbed the carb cleaner and began "decarbonization" process. Also ordered some parts for this engine today. Don't tell Mrs. Steve. Fur is going to fly when she sees that bill.

Good work Steve What did you use to clean it?
A soft brass wire brush would work for some of the carbon.

I have used Marvel Mystery oil and left it soak overnight or days. Then a toothbrush or small soft brass brush.

On the stator, blow off and a well used tooth brush gently

Did some more clean up tonight. I believe the block and pistons are good enough. Got a good start on the head. Need some hints on how to handle the valves. My dad says they need to be removed and use lapping compound. That will be a first for me. Advice is welcomed and appreciated, as always. Oh, used carb cleaner and S.O.S. pads. Took a while.

Lapping the valves would be a great idea while you are right there.. would only take a few min

Valve cover gaskets removed, covers cleaned, valves removed, head cleaned, brushed off the stator, exhaust and intake manifold gaskets removed. The intake manifold gasket was off on one corner. The rest of the gasket was the meanest little Son Of a Bee to get off this dang motor yet!!! Took about an hour on that one gasket!!

My dad dropped off a couple of antique ZIM hand crank valve lapping tools. Hoping the suction cups will be functional.

What do you folks use to shine the chrome on the valve stems? I am envisioning Easy Off oven cleaner and OOOO steel wool- an excellent combination to clean tar off motorcycle chrome without disturbing the chrome. Other ideas are certainly welcome. As I am not a mechanic and did not stay at a Holday Inn Express last night!!

Looking good steve!!

I've always used a wire wheel on the bench grinder to clean up nasty valves... always worked great for me.. If your suction cups are too old you can by a cheap hand lapping tool at the auto parts store.. either use it or use the new suction cups on the old lapping tools your dad brought over.. those old school tools are pretty cool too!!

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.
