: : : I have inherited a Cub Cadet Model 108 from my father-in-law. Believe it or not is has 10 to 15 hours of operation on it and has been stored in a garage every since.
: : I spent the weekend replacing dry rotted belts, carb gasket, points and condensers etc. It runs perfectly.
: : Can anyone tell me exactly how old this tractor is and can I get manuals (I have the original operating manual) part numbers etc.
: : Thank you for any help and direction you can give me.: Wayne, production began in 1971 for the 108's and went until 1975 I believe. You can still get parts and manuals from your cub cadet dealer. I think you might be able to get manuals over the phone to, try 1(330) 273-4550. : Wayne since you have a "new" tractor, I will tell of 2 experiences I've had with 2 tractors. Both of these instances happened in the summer several years apart,I was mowing and all at once these tractors started popping & backfiring then stopped, I let each engine cool down, trying to start them occasionally,nothing. Then I heard a snap in the engine,after that they started right up. The exhaust valve must stick open until it cools down. both tractors did that for a while, then never done it again. If it happens to you, be patient, let the valve snap shut & go again. Both of these engines were 10hp model 241 Kohlers. I would like to know if others had this happen to them too.
