Default And.... don't forget to put the oil in!

customer picked up an engine back in January , long time customer. calls up saying the motor had no power and seamed like it was stuck. He forgot to fill it with oil. crank will go .010 under and a new piston and rod bearing and it should be good to go again

My dad wrenched for IH when he got out of college in '79. The guy at the dealership was an older tech who lets just say didn't work out working on tractors. He overhauled a motor for a cub, fired it up and parked it outside to run. It sat out there and ran about 30 min at half throttle before seizing up. Dad says he will never forget the sound of it as it screeched then went ka-CHUNK!! Same deal..... he never put oil in it. It ran that long on the assembly oil. That wasn't the first thing he screwed up and as I recall didn't work there much longer.

Years ago, my dad had an Oliver 1855 painted at a local repair shop. We went to pick it up and I jumped on it, fired it up, and took of down the road. I was so excited to drive the tractor in its showroom new condition that I never looked at the oil pressure gauge like I normally do. I made it about 1/2 mile down the road before it died. Pulled the dipstick and sure enough, not a bit of oil. We poured oil in to see if we could limp it back to the shop but it was done for. The tractor had an auxiliary oil reservoir on the side of the frame because the Waukesha engine oil pan didn't hold much oil. We found that the fresh paint was chewed off of the drain plug on the auxiliary reservoir. Some jacka$$ had drained the oil overnight and even stuck around to put the plug back in.

Had a neighbor who was a volunteer fireman. Was changing oil on his tractor and got a call and hadn't put oil in it yet. He left his dad came out fired it up and down the road he went! Made it 2 miles before it was toast!

Brother-in law worked at a service station after school, and was changing the oil in his own vehicle in between pumping gas out front. He drained his oil and lowered the lift, then had to go pump someone's gas. Went back to put his oil in and saw the station was out of his brand. After closing time he jumped in his car and drove it about 10 blks to the hardware store to get more. Still didn't realize it until he walked out with his oil. It was a 83 Monte Carlo SS, drove it for several years after that.

My bro still has an 83 Monte Carlo. It's sitting in the shed at our parents waiting on me to restore it. (It's not an SS) It has the aluminum "checker" rims on it.

I always like those rims. My sister was smart and married into a family with money. When he was done with the SS he got a Buick grand national. Man that car was fun to drive. He let someone else change the oil in that one

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.
