Expensive mistake
my generator/starter fried last evening cause the rear bushing was dry . I saw the lube hole and have took the oil gun to it a number of times not knowing there was a thin cap in the hole preventing any lube from getting in .I took it off and apart the shaft and even the bushing are still useable but found it fried the armature at least the back part and though it still cranks it starts to cook the terminal I will take it to a shop tommorrow and hope for the best .

It's always tricky when you have a bad zert. You did see grease coming out around the fitting of the gun, right? I'm always suspicious when that happens.

No Zerk fittings on these S/G's. Just a hole for an oil can to drip some oil in.

well it is not a zert just a hole and I shot oil from a oil can and thought it was going in. I drilled a hole in the cap now --did these come with a cap originally that had to be removed and install a zert?

I've wondered this myself. A friend of mine advised me to keep it lubed well, then I showed him the S/G on my 129. He said that usually there's a small hole there for oil, but on mine there's a metal cap in its place.

OK, that makes sense Dwayne. I was wondering why there'd be a grease zerk (not "zert") on a S/G. I did pick up a little knowledge from this about oiling it either way.

The reason there are no zerk fittings on the s/g is beacuse like trailers with grease caps on the axle bearings. You put way too much grease in there and you just fill up the what ever your greasing. Like a s/g filled with grease. 1 pump of the grease gun is good but 2 is better!! I've taken alot of axle brakes apart with grease fittings on the cap. The brake drums are filled with grease.
Wild Bill is correct. The O's are the only ones with an oil cap. On the later ones there was a brozen bushing. Later where bearings. There is also a cap on the back that you can drill out to add oil but the disipates too quickly. Then you have to worry about the hole you drilled for water to get it. If you do this get a dab of high tempt grease and put it in the hole to seat it. When it gets hot the grease will flow in the hole anyway.

No, none of the S/G had the grease zerks on them. They had ways of oiling them up, if needed, but it had to be done through caps. Just a few drops of a lubricant (not grease) will often do the trick. If you get to much in them, then you will have to take them apart, clean them and try again.

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.
