Default Metal fuel line
Both of my CC have rubber fuel lines. They work fine. However, I'd like to give it a more professional look with steel. Can I make one of those? What do I need to get? I have a flaring tool, I think...do I need that? Is there a write up on someone doing one? I think I could figure it out and make a nice one with the proper tools/knowledge first, and I'd rather do that vs. just buying a premade one.

Thanks

I am sure you could make fixed steel lines to and from everything.. I would be worried about vibration issues tho.

If you want a nicer look how about some SS braid over the rubber hoses?

A professional hand tubing bender makes nice lines.
Me, I'm a functional feller, 2 hands and a ball bat & hammer handle makes my mandrel bends.

IF.......I was to go the Steel Tubing route, I would use Brake Steel Tubing.

yup been there, done that on tractors that mount the gas tank in back.... with short rubber hoses to make the connection from the metal tube to the tank nipple and at the added in fuel filter on those that didn't already have one...
those rubber "transition pieces" take care of vibration issues.

I'm no expert. However with rigid lines I worry about vibration getting to threads in carb and ruining them. The rubber absorbs the vibration.

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.
