Welp i did alot of work in the garage today and it finally runs!!!

I got some marker lights at walmart to use as tail lights



Then got some headlights there too



Next was to paint the gas tank that i forgot to paint. I bought some krylon fusion paint and did a quick spray



Got it all put in and running but my hood doesnt open right so i had to make this hood prop out of all thread.



Ill try and take a video of it running tomorrow. And anyone with a 108 can i see how youre headlights are mounted? I need some mounting ideas for mine

Looking good, just out of curiosity why did you decline to paint the engine while you had it out? You've done a nice job, I believe that detail would have put you over the top...

Well the truth is I just wanted to be done with it. The engine is going to come back out in a few days to tear apart the pto to fix it. I will clean it up with some degreaser and a pressure washer when i do it and see how it looks. Also i am out of yellow paint and Im trying to not spend alot of time or money on this build which i know sounds bad but Im 16 and its hard to focus on a project like this. also im a really bad painter and mechanic. My dad did the paint and helped me with the wiring. And get it running.

But for today the coil fried so It will wait till morning to go get a coil from work and throw it on and get it running.

Well I got the igniton coil my dad had at work and hooked it up with a new key switch (old one was shot). Still not getting any spark. New spark plug and still notta thing. I need a new coil but Im cheap so for now its just getting a few things here and there until I get a new coil.

I don't think you're a bad painter or mechanic or you wouldn't be working on an old Cub. You're doing just fine.

Looks pretty good! I too have a 108 and love it! Just dont have any lights in the light panel as mine are frame mounted. Im liking the look of the lights you have Fit the panel pretty snug. Keep up the progress!

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.
