Looks good!

PO put a similar weight box on my 106 made from aluminum in 1971 and it's still holding up. I put a 5 gallon bucket back there, which holds a full bag of cement at 50 lbs, and made all the difference in the world plowing and climbing hills in wet weather.

Thanks Woodtrucker, that is much less than half price from the Firestones. Those Deestones are thinner so I think that is more of the look I am going for too. Thanks for the input. BTW - I like the black wheels too.

Default The 100 gets a new wire

I have been having difficulty with the 100. It sputters and pops a lot. At first I thought carb and decided to readjust it. After plowing the driveway the problem persisted. I then I cleaned and adjusted the points. It seemed to work fine but not great for the first snow plowing of the season. Second plowing yesterday and the problem was back.

When I started it, the spark seemed to be irregular at the points so I thought bad points and replaced them. I put in new points and a condenser and got it running. As I looked at the spark with the point cover off, I noticed that it was still not regular. A misfire would occur quit often. I checked the ignition wiring to and from the coil.

I discovered that the wire from the coil to the points had hard insulation and some cracks where the bare wire could be seen. I replaced that wire and the 100 runs fine again and I have some extra points and a condenser.

I hauled in some wood before the storm.

Yea that's a good find. A lot of times, the crack will be hiding under the wire suspension clip that's fastened to the cam cover bolt ( if its still there ).

Default wire break

That is exactly where it happened.

I rebuilt the deck. Rebuilt the bearings. then cleaned and repainted it. It has a season on it now and it is in good shape with the paint holding up well. Used an epoxy paint with a color called biscuit which was a pretty close white color. That was a test for doing that to the rest of the 126. It is from 1971 and needs a good repaint. right now the clutch is getting needed cleaning and lubricating.

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.
