make a vid of the cub cadet, then we will talk!

[crywolfe210]

I knew somebody would spot it :-P I'll upload one of my sucky vids I have for right now, the 107 tends to be camera shy (AKA, everything goes to hell once a camera is pointed at it)

[Titliest07]

dont worry about it! makes a good video

[crywolfe210]

I have that sucky vid of the 107 on my channel now if you wanna see it. Just the other day, the oil plug fell out while i was cutting the grass and the tractor started screeching like some kinda horror movie sound effect and then slowly stalled. I though I trashed the thing but I put a new oil plug and some oil in, gave the starter pulley a few kicks to loosen the engine, turned it over (it screeched a bit) then it fired right up and ran fine! I love these K series Kohlers!!!!

[Titliest07]

i hope you shut it off when the plug came out

[crywolfe210]

Ummm, how much would you hate me if I didn't? lol it stalled before I even reacted.

[Titliest07]

it stalled because it lost lubracation, you probably hurt your cylinder and wall

[crywolfe210]

Oh, I know it didn't do anything good, but it doesn't smoke or burn oil so far and it seems to have just as great compression as it did before the "mishap".

[Titliest07]

get the engine really hot and take the dip stick out and then take the air cleaner off, check for smoke. that is called blowby

[crywolfe210]

Sorry, completely forgot about your question :-P But yes,it has some blow-by in the dipstick channel but none in the carb, no different than it has ever been from what I remember

[matthewmarrs123]

ok can you turn this motor onto it's side and make it as a go kart engine?

[keego758]

thats bad ass

[crywolfe210]

Thanks man

[bghunter2009]

Nice Tractor Boy!!!!!!

[crywolfe210]

You know it!

[bum3248]

i hook my throttle directly to the govenor and rejetted the carb to get throttle response. i also ported the head and intake with a custom velocity stack air cleaner adapter. im currently running racing fuel and synthetic oil which helped out alot. i just received my v tred rear tires and im regearing the pully from a 5in to a 4 in to get a lil more top end.

[crywolfe210]

I am pretty much in the home stretch for finishing this little beast, I just have some finishing stuff to do. Right now I have the old brake pedal hooked directly to the governor linkage so I can actually get decent response, but I also lest the governor on the tractor and I still have the stock throttle handle for when I want to use this as a regular tractor. Right now the biggest issue is setting up the new pulley ratios and getting my hand clutch to work (mounted on the shifter).
