Any way to get my 129 started even though there seems to be ACR problems?
Just wondering. The shop it's going to said it might be a month until I get it back. I almost had it started today - came within seconds - I just wasn't fast enough with the choke. After that, it never reached the same RPM again with every attempt. Probably a stupid question, but is there a way to start this thing before these repairs are made? I was hoping to at least mow with it once before it goes to the shop.
Thanks, Keith |

only thought I'd have would be to wire the ign wire with a toggle switch. then you can get the engine spinning over and then turn the ign on

Have you pulled the cam cover to visually see if the ACR spring is still attached? If it is not, you can reattach it without having to take the engine apart.
Go to our Tractor Tech library and download the Kohler Engine manual. It will show you how that spring is attached and give you an idea of what you are looking for.

Can I take off that cover without having to lift the engine? The frame looks to be in the way for the bottom right bolt. Sometimes the engine hardly turns at all - is this common with ACR problems? I do have the manual and have been looking at it - it talks about valve adjustments also as being a possible cause of not being able to start. It mentions that if the spring has come unhooked, one has to remove the oil pan to rehook or replace the spring. (?)

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.
