I figured I would show you all that I actually work on stuff rather then just talk about it. :lmao: This is my grandpas cub 100. He has had it 31 years and before him my great-grandpa had it. My grandpa got tired of working on it so he "gave" it to me. He doesn't know he is getting it back :shush: His 79th birthday is coming up so I hope to have it done by then.
So the story is, when he got it my great-grandpa blew a chunk out of the cylinder wall so my grandpa put a new short block in it. It was in 81 if I read correctly. Then in 99 gamps (that's what I call him) had it rebuilt again, new rings, valve job, governor etc. Yup I have all of the paper work on it since it has been in my family!!
Flash forward to last year. It started having an erratic throttle, and he parked it. Some people told him it was the governor and some said it was the carb. He used as is, had to use the choke to control the throttle. So this year he was mowing when a bearing went out on the mower deck. So he is fed up with it and I brought it home on Friday
Yesterday I fixed the throttling problem, the linkage was loose on the throttle shaft. Today I adjusted the governor and she now runs great! Just got to fix the deck and paint and she's done!! So here is two pictures one of what she looks like now, and one of me and gamps on the cub back in the day lol.
