New to me Cub Cadet 86

Post by stevet »

Hey guys, haven't posted in awhile. Been pretty busy between work and rebuilding the motor on the Farmall M. Did manage to pick up a Cub Cadet 86 back in the fall, and after some fixes it needed, have a solid little tractor! The key way was missing on the crank so the pully and basket weren't held in place, so pulled that apart and fixed it. Adjusted the pto so it would work properly. Managed to get it to plow day to have an ignition switch issue, which was quickly corrected, and the PO had put a small bolt in the rock shaft instead of a roll pin, so that needed replacing as well. Seem to have gotten most of the bugs worked out for now and putting it to good use around the house! Hope to find a creeper for it soon and it'll become my new tiller tractor.
