Cub Cadet 100 Sitting 20 Years | Will it run?

Getting a Cub Cadet 100 running after it sat for 20 years.
Thanks For Watching!

[@roymiller6964]

Good to see young people interested in restoring old tractors and lawn mowers. Keep up the good work young man.

[@garymucher4082]

Nice reviving this old mower. I have to say I really like Kohler engines myself. My last two mower had Kohler engines and they both are still running strong... And that covers over 40 years span too!

[@HipaParts]

very informative video. It brings me great joy to see machines from 20 years ago being restarted. This world needs more DIY repairers to save the treasures that have been misplaced.

[@davidmiller3677]

That machines about 60 years old !

[@canvids1]

Fantastic to see a young Man want to fix old machines. Thanks Andrew. I am waiting for the Farmall videos and wish you the best. Keep posting, thanks.

[@dougelledge4042]

That young man gives me hope.

[@oldironsanctuary61]

I actually just picked this machine up! Runs and drives great! Good addition to my collection.

[@garynoble8409]

A few years ago I got an Original from Nov/Dec 1961. Cosmetically it was way worse than this one. I had to winch it onto my trailer. I brought it home, tuned it up, changed oil put a battery in it and it fired right up. I cleaned it up, put new tires on it and did the cosmetics(paint and such) and I use it all the time for light work around the yard. 62 years old and it runs like a top! Can not buy that kind of quality any more!

[@rogercamp6071]

A real Cub Cadet, not the plastic junk that's an insult to the brand.

[@jefferymatthew2776]

Amen to that

[@kevinfloyd808]

I have a 17 year old lt1050..some plastic not the same level of tractor this one is, but I cant complain 1100+ hours, little repair needed, mowed 6 to 9 acres every week, for 12 years. Mow 2 at a friend's house with it still.. pretty solid machine..

[@tonyisaac4578]

My dad bought one exactly like this one at an auction in maybe the late 80s? The mowing deck proved to be junk so we took it off and my brother and I used it to work our watermelon patch…we put a straight pipe on it and it was amazing what those old slow running Kohler engines can do.

[@jimmytate7587]

that looks a lot like my 1961 original. definitely worth saving as these tractors are prized by collectors.

[@larrykrise3609]

always glad to see a young man keep the hobby going.thank you.

[@jshelledy1]

Excellent post. Didn't know to check new points for oxidation and hadn't heard of Stems Parts. Have always wanted an original 100. That was a very nice find and an excellent job getting her to start. I loved this post.

[@matthewpiper1421]

Its a kohler k series engine it will run, some of the best engines ever made.

[@odc43054]

Wow. It’s amazing to see that survive. Most tractors like that would have been scrapped years ago. Nice to see it and the opportunity to live on a while longer.

[@opinion4246]

You done a very good job on the curb cadet.thanks you'll go far.💯🇺🇲

[@bethcraigen7377]

Keep up the good work !! I love watching your videos!

[@markuswatson2123]

You do very good work ! I enjoy watching your videos.

[@LiterallyJesusChrist]

Great job bringing it back to life! Doesn't hurt to drop some grease down into that new throttle cable when you put the wire in. I also recommend putting an inline paper fuel filter, maybe two, after sitting for that long with rust in tank.

[@slamscaper128]

IDK why I'm so obsessed with tractors these days

[@ryansell9578]

AS is the ignition/electrical setup on kohlers. I think it means its points ignition

[@lyleswavel320]

The old kohlers never seem to die

[@wademizelle3433]

Great video. Thanks

The transmission on that machine is the indestructible part. Very solid.

Good job young man.

cub 100 is a 1964, I also have one. engine is 10 hp. Kohler cast iron block with a sleeved cylinder. a delco starter/generator.

thank you my friend...

[@aramirez8427]

Great Machine......

[@liljoeii6091]

Awesome video I just subscribed to your channel you work Tractors and everything else i'm interested Thank you for the video

[@FreeLovingAmerican]

Thanks for the video. Fun to watch and great to bring back old stuff. The old imho is a lot better than the new in most ways. Also, I hope you didn't leave the coil powered that whole time. Typically not good for them to do that.

[@FreeLovingAmerican]

I should clarify - bad to run power to to the points for long duration.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

The first “tractor” I ever drove was a Cub Cadet Original. This was the first series that ran a belt to the drive shaft.

[@thesmallenginekid]

First tractor I ever drove was a Cub Cadet 128. We still have it, I am never going to sell it.

[@kirdot2011]

​@@thesmallenginekid the first tractor I ever drove was Husqvarna lt 151... I know it's like comparing night to a day

[@ghostridergale]

I have numerous small gas powered equipment that needs a helping hand. Craftsman rototiller that I believe needs a new carb. Several older cultivators that need attention. Did get one running for a while. String trimmers. All just sitting in the barn. Someone handy working on these things might like to play around fixing them? Provided your close enough to where I live in Camas, Washington? Kind of hoping to find a guy/gal that likes tinkering on these equipment. Anyone interested?

[@kirdot2011]

@@ghostridergale I wish I could say I am that guy with golden hands but unfortunately not in this life

[@patrickpoulard24]

I just love to watch videos of classic lawnmower equipment being fixed. I'm surprised that Cub Cadet still has parts for this tractor. This Cub Cadet was made between 1963 to 1965.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤷🏿‍♂️

[@richardphelan8414]

I was wondering if you had a building to work in it beats working in the cold ,your very Knowledgeable for your youth so Ill assume you have been doing this for some time I'm new to your channel ,I tuned in when you brought the M Home I'm a Farmall fan I used a M on a farm for years in the mid 50s ,working on a 140 and a cub now at 80 years old .it's great to see young people take a interest in fixing machinery especially the older ones

[@thesmallenginekid]

Thanks for watching. The 140 and Cub are neat little tractors. My Aunt and Uncle have a Cub in Lexington KY. My Grandpa has a JD LA. We have a garage/shop that my dad put radiant heat in the concrete. It is super nice to have heat but it is not big enough!

[@alk5749]

Just for future reference a little heat on that jet and some PB Baster always works for me getting those jets out.

[@chase_715]

I used your trick on the gas tank on my 44 h I’m working on. and it worked great

[@alexandermcquiggin4414]

Nice little 100 , I’d love to own one like that. Great video Andrew!!

[@leosizemore-hm8jf]

Nice restoration model

[@2003garyb]

Andrew--just a word of caution--toward the end of this vid, you started the Cub Cadet with your leg wedged between the mower deck and the rear axle. That's an unsafe stance when starting any tractor--new or old. I'm glad the blades didn't engage or the tractor lunge forward. Stand clearly to the side or seated in the operator's position. Love your work.

[@tryingagain14]

Agree. I wouldn't let a kid use my old 100. If you wanted to, with these old machines you can engage the mower ,put it in gear and stand in front of it. It will start and mow right over you. Zero safety switches, just common sense. On the other hand I could grade by standing on the blade for weight and steer (I've got creeper gear, moves very )slowly

[@thesmallenginekid]

Your right but I checked that it was not in gear. And if it was I would have bumped the starter and knew it was in gear before it started. But yes always have to be thinking.

[@Outdoorexplore1845]

@@tryingagain14 can you jackasses stop stating the obvious im pretty sure he knows what hes doing.

[@patdexter9188]

Great work! To bad it don't have the rear fenders. But sounds like the engine has good compression.

[@charliejones7574]

I have found...that the folding "torch tip cleaner" will fit just about any orifice on those older carbs

[@mikevickrey3902]

I mowed with a 100 from 1968 till 2015. My dad got it used when I was 8 years old.

[@flhusa1]

Sounds just my origiginal when ceanking and running. Original Model 70 Model 100 Original had 7HP KOHLER

[@charliejones7574]

That carb kit isn't impossible to find,simple to install

[@braydencordrey8544]

Nice video

[@brokenwrench1]

the 100 was introduced to replace the original in 1964 a long with the 70 and the redesigned international cub and lowboy point gap should be 0.017"

[@smokierspy]

0.019 actually but either should work

[@charliejones7574]

Thank you,I was thinking the points were around .018,but I will gladly stand corrected

[@mcpeake78]

I had one these I restored and it was over $500 I spent. There is a company that still sells parts for this up north and I enjoyed the tractor but it was a dangerous machine the weight could get you hurt or killed if it flipped over so I got rid of it. A guy that makes pulling tractors out of them bought it for $700 what I had in it.

[@jimmytate7587]

you are right about these narrow frame tractors. my 61 original tipped over on me trapping my foot under the rear wheel. i could not lift it off me. luckily i had my phone and called 911. three first responders lifted it off me. i later found it weighs over 800 pounds. more than most newer tractors and made of all steel in the U.S.

[@mcpeake78]

Don't know why but I never sub or thumbs up for people who ask. You never do and I like that. Derek from VGG never does either and look at his channel! You will always get a thumbs up and I'm subbed.

[@bradanderson1627]

The system has been switched to a coil thats why the ballast resistor my father in-law did the same thing . Nice score though

[@nickmatoic9096]

I have a question for you Andrew , have you ever had a battery blow up in your face ? Sparks and acid vapors do not play well together a pair of dykes would've been sufficient terminals are cheaper.

[@1manshop335]

Looks like a 1963 cub 100 with the wide battery box

Yep, ever so often you have to get a new spark-or-later😂

For cleaning the gas tank try diesel instead of gasoline. You will note the difference.

[@ozarkarky]

Also much safer. One little spark with gasoline and you're history. 😱
