I restored my grandfather's 49 cub and now it is hard to start when cold. I can run it until it warms up and then it starts fine once.
Now it leaks oil every where even when it is not running. It will make a puddle over a period of days at the clutch end of the engine. I had the engine rebuilt at a local machine shop. The engine
has less than 20hrs on it.
I need some help.
thanks

If leak is coming from hand hole cover it is probably transmisison. They are bad to become overfull from condensation and leak out worn seals. It accumulates in the torque tube and the runs out the front when it gets full or tips forward. Also check your engine oil level, if it's getting high your touch control pump may need rebuilt.

Hard Starting
Check the ignition timing, battery conditon and battery terminal connections. Some vehicles and tractors start hard - some just won't start period when it's very cold. I have a can of ether available for when it's very cold.
Oil leaks. You said the engine leaks ever where. There isn't to many places the engine could leak oil. Do a little investigation to determine where the oil is coming from. The front and rear crankshaft seals should have been replaced during the overhaul. Pan and side panel oil leaks are an easy fix. Engine front cover is another problem is the gasket wasn't installed properly during the overhaul.
If you lucky all you might have to do is tighten up a few bolts to stop the leaks on the engine.

Check to see that the chock is fully closed when trying to start for the first time. Easy fix.
Vacuum leaks. Check the manifold gaskets and the carburator to manifold gasket.

There is a known problem with the rear main oil seal not fitting tight in the retainer and spiining and leaking. There was a change to a slightly larger o.d. seal during production, and the orignal size is no longer available. You can by a new retianer for about $125 or you can bed them in the reatienr using various methods, My 48 which has a seal with a metal case has loctite and I used a punch to stake around it and tighten it. Missy, the 49, has a rubber coated shell on the seal and I used 3M plastic emblem adhesive to bed it. It's only been in a few months, so I don't know how well that particular sealer will hold up to heat and oil over the long term, but so far so good.
