I'm thinking about changing my user name for this site to Eugene the *.?-!* Cub Owner.
Last Saturday I had the Cub out for a little ride. It was starving for fuel. Removed the carbuarator to reset the float level. Last Sunday I went back to the shop to install the carburator and smelled gasoline. Leaked out about 3 gallons of gasoline from the packing on the sediment bowl. Pulled the hood and gas tank. Purchased a new sediment bowl.
Today, Saturday, I replaced the hood/fuel tank. No fuel leaks. Started up the Cub. Ran great for 2 or 3 minutes. Clunk, clunk, clunk, something hit the edge of my shoe. I looked down to see the inspection hole cover from the bottom of the torque tube laying on the floor and a few parts.
The few parts were one and a half fingers from the pressure plate, a spring and a couple of finger piviot pins. Inspection of the fingers show crystalization and stress fractures. That was a new IH pressure plate, (made in India) disc, and throw out bearing. WAS a new pressure plate made in India , disc and throw out bearing
There goes another 6-pack breaking the tractor in half again.
