Anyone know of a good resource for this spring CCO

I'm needing a spring assist spring for a cub cadet Original, does anyone know of a good resource? CCS didn't have anything listed. I have both brackets and washer just missing the spring.

Re: K181 connecting rods

So the rod from a 161 and a 181 are interchangeable is what I gather from this, correct? A friend of mine was rebuilding one recently and we never did really get this figured out.

Re: Tire Question

When I purchased my 1965 100 in 1985 it had the narrow wheels exactly as you show fitted with tires just like that as well. They were made by Armstrong and were very dried out. I could only assume that it came that way. They were sold off at a swap meet and the guy seemed very eager to get his hand...

Tire Question

I've been wondering about this and it may have already been answered but I can't find it on here. Were Ag's an option for the tires on early Cub Cadets like the 100? I'm picking up one Saturday that's a really solid looking old 100 and the guy bought it from the original owner and says they told him...

Re: Got it Vince!! (new to me piece of equipment)

Great find Tim. Looks like a complete 402E other than the rear tube and mount and the front axle straps. With a bit of fab work you can hang that under the newer tractors easily. You don't need to modify the Haban either. Just a mower mule drive to make a front mount out of. Actually got everything...

Re: I Gotta Stop Bringing

I'll try that Joe, I adjusted them but not sure if I got it right. Also,while we're on the subject, what are the chances the push rod to the points needs replacing and what should it measure as far as overall length? I'm guessing the points should be set around maybe .025??

Yep, gonna either do a rebuild or maybe replace the engine if I run across the correct replacement. I don't think this one needs much though it's smoking pretty bad and fouling the left plug pretty bad, the right is burning clean? But man this thing is nice to cut with!!!

A "followed me home" thread! Caution: one ugly Cub Cadet

Picked up this little ugly monster this morning. I guess working 2nd shift does have some advantages. It's a 102. Mostly complete, missing gas tank.
