Nice Mustie1 reference, I found your channel from whatching his, good to see RUclipsrs promoting each other. Enjoy your channel, keep doing what you do and keep the camera rolling.
Your channel is much better than other one mentioned and not just because I tired of watching carburetor float bowls being cleaned. You read the service manuals and show respect for professional solutions. McGuyver fixes can be impressive, but sometimes bailing wire and chewing gum are the wrong answer.
Huge shout out to you Wes. You are miles ahead of the Moldy guy. Your professionalism speaks volume and repair equipment with reliability in mind. Your analytical approach should be a lesson learned in troubleshooting most anything. Buying new parts? Why not cobble junk together for a fix? Because you do it better and you own that T shirt. You are my favorite and I don't yell at the screen while watching you. This Millwright thinks your awesome 👌
Interrupted but the phone. For you this is all you need. I like the power steering. Nice machine. Change the oil often keep the filters clean and it will last another 20 or probably more years. Take care Wes
Well done !! First time watcher. Liked what you did and your honesty. Ida paid $200 for it being a non runner. Mustie1 is a fave of my RUclips channels - good job following his kind of “shtick”!
I’m an expert on these Cub’s and it was fun watching you stumble through that. I buy them in that condition for around $400. BTW it’s a Kohler Command engine, not a Briggs. They are known to leak and blow up at an early age. Keep an eye on your oil level.
One of the better Cub’s Wes. That’s a real nice find my friend. My old neighbor had the 3000 series or the next model, can’t really remember just know that thing was a tank and it looks just like yours. Same everything. He’d pull fairly large trailers around the property with it. I believe it also has a vacuum operated PTO engagement too which was very nifty. Edit: Never Fails. Should complete the video before I comment 😂 We sell used tractors of similar capabilities for about 600, we also give credit towards brand new mowers for about 150 to 200 for your style mower.
I resurrected a free 1994 vintage Toro / Wheel Horse 264-6 with a 14HP Kohler recently that'd sat and been abandoned for ~5 years after it wouldn't start one spring. Carb was dickered (so rotten the main jet broke the carb casting in two when I tried to break it loose), fuel line was all cracked and collapsed, fuel petcock was clogged with rust from water in the fuel pooling in it, the petcock grommet crumbled when I touched it, and the fuel tank was full of algae. new carb, fuel pump, fuel line, fuel filter, fuel petcock, fuel petcock grommet, and a thorough cleaning of the tank, and now it runs great. also had to epoxy the shattered hood back together and unseize the brake caliper with a torch and a hammer (those two repairs are related). the deck is completely rotten, but it came with a 46" cut single-stage snowblower attachment so I'm not too mad.
I too am a fan of Mustie1, I envy his hoard, I can't build a stash like his yet, but I want to! I would see what Craig'slist and eBay have to offer before I'd contact Cub Cadet. Mustie could teach you how to stretch your dollars! Kreosene (Diesel fuel is kerosene with paraffin wax to lubricate the pump and injrctors) won't run in a gas engine, but it's the best out of any other fluid to make that mistake with! Nice find Wes!
Unfortunately, parts for this rig are quite a bit more expensive and harder to come by than parts for the smaller machine Mustie generally tinkers with.
I'd say a 100 to a $150 in condition you got it in. That's in my neck of the woods. Just think the besils rubricated the top end really really good. And must I one is a big fan of those constant tension clamps
If there were clamps on it to begin with, it’s a good idea to keep some on there. I’ve had a situation where just the pressure build up in the tank in the summer pushed a fuel line off it’s fitting. The fitting wasn’t barbed, but a slight bulge around the circumference. It definitely needed a clamp behind that to hold the line on.
I invested $1200 CDN on a 20 years old mower. Mainly a new deck with all the quills , idlers, belts and blades. Tune-up and carb kit. 4 tubes and it runs like a charm. The only plastic parts are the head lamps and grass deflector on the deck.
one that old around Oklahoma goes for about 150 to 300 dollars, depending on the seller. If they know what they have, might even go for $500.00. glad you got it running with minor things.
Nice to see someone keep it real we all have our moments anyone else would have edited it out witch is why we all watch your videos keep the videos coming can't get enough
When you took the line out of the diesel tank and I saw what a bright color it was I started screaming at my phone "no don't do it" lol thanks for the laugh
Funny thing Wes I clicked on the video thinking it was a Mustie1video! The thumb nail looks like his old garage and it was a Cub Cadet mower. Cool video. Matt C
That's about what they bring around here. The smaller homeowner type rigs bring $50-150 for a dead one, $300 or so for a rough runner, maybe $450-500 for a good one. Larger tractors add about 50%.
Well for it to have a swig of a little diesel it brought everything back around with it being oily. As seen from Derek on his VGG channel, he uses 50:1 two stroke fuel for the initial bark off to lube things. Lol no harm no foul it ran🤷♂️
Running about $250.00 in your case not running under $100.00 Musty gets a lot of stuff like that free. No deals like that around here. I agree with your father 1500 hours is the end of the world with those. We switched to liquid cooked diesel tractors over 20 years ago for this reason. I can get 3000 to 5000 hours on an F series Kubota easily and fuel consumption is probably almost half.
When I was a kid I had a mowing job in the summer. We had a John Deere 345 gasser and a 455 diesel. They used about the same amount of fuel per hour, but the 455 was mowing a foot more than the 345. Old mowers are worth a little more here I guess. $100 might get you a stamped out two blade unit. You never see them for free.
My neighbor had a Cub Cadet back in the early 90's. It had a combination starter/alternator that died almost every year. Every time he went to buy a new starter/alternator, the price doubled from the previous time.
Really my starter alternator on my 1971 Cub Cadet 127 is original and the Cub starts right up every time. The battery may not last if you don't take it out in the winter.
The decks rust out and they are probably on the second one, the pulleys also get loose. They welded that nut so it would not vibrate loose on the steering. I can save you on that sending unit, always fill it when you go to mow the lawn. That looks nothing like the cub cadet I used to till tobacco many moons ago.
Wes, going into the landscape business now? That looks to be like a Bolens tractor, they always were top of the line and very pricey, with that hydrostatic drive and shaft driven. Easy fix to get it running, if you put GAS in it though. The deck kits are generic and pretty cheap, try Tractor Supply or a good mower supply dealer. What's with the fuel gauge, going to drive cross country and light replacement,do you mow in the dark? They probably cobbled-up the tie rod ends do to parts availability or again, price, but your a pretty good cobbler too. Find some grass, want to see it mow. BTW,what happened to the dashboard job? Oh almost forgot, in NY that is a side of the road pick-up, just scrap, repair shops here at least $75 hr. for labor.
Did you say what you paid for it? Love the quick easy fixes and getting a deal on them. I recently bought a 97 f150 with emission CE codes and a misfire and I fixed it with some MAF cleaner and new spark plugs but of course it needs other maintenance.
I was wondering why your gas was bright green. As a mechanic, how did you not catch that? You realize they have different colored gas cans for that reason, right?
@@WatchWesWork I think I have seen Mustie put some diesel in the cylinder if it had not ran in a while. So a little a couple of ounces should not be a problem.
@@WatchWesWork my wife just changed the fuel line on our John Deere, she used my cobras. I have a pair of hose clamp pliers sitting right next to them in the drawers. Made me chuckle. Should have explained.
i enjoyed this video, and if you make more ill be watching them, Mustie1 is my favorite youtuber to watch your coming a close 2nd or 3rd so keep it up look forward to your next video. M@x
I you ever have any line that you are unsure of, just look for braiding in the line. All fuel rated lines will have it. If the line is straight rubber, then it is not fuel rated.
Most deck no matter the brand if you don’t clean the deck and the up keep on blades tire pressure is a must for a level deck as wellwell gas will thin it and will be ok
lol you know i was watching the clear fuel line and thinking that looks a lot like diesel but chalked it up to the camera or hose and then you say it's diesel. looks like it will be a decent mower when your got her fixed up.
Thinking about it, I am pretty sure that Governor Pritzker just instituted a new tax on the purchase of used lawn equipment. $400 sounds more reasonable now. $200 for the mower and $200 for the state of Illinois. Yep, that sounds about right.
@@WatchWesWork They were overpriced. But they were also great mowers when serviced properly. The decks were made from thicker materials and so on. I liked the older models better than the newer ones.
I know this video came in a long time ago, but I hope you didn't sink that much money into it. A mower that age and in that condition is worth maybe $200, at best. I fix and flip a lot of them, so you definitely have to choose your battles carefully on one that age, and don't buy anything from a dealer if you have a cheaper option. Otherwise, you will take a loss. Your father was absolutely right though. You can normally get about 1500 hours out of a small engine. I have a Craftsman riding mower with a Kohler engine that has 1599 hours on it. The starter solenoid just went out and it needs new drag links, but it is still in great condition beyond that.
I have a John Deere L118 mower that was bought in 2005. Has something over 200 hours on it and the fuel pump has been replaced once. Can't be to much junk eh? :o)

Keeps us both watching dont it

When I was a kid I accidentally put 5 gallons of fuel oil in my dads 6 cylinder '63 Chevy Biscayne wagon, didn't hurt it any.
How much length of fuel line did you need to use?
+1 for mustie1
I’m glad you didn’t edit the diesel part out. We’re all human, this makes me feel better about some of the mistakes I have made being so focused
Dude, the chuckle head comment had me in stitches. I hate having to deal with manufacturers when they cut corners. Well played not losing your sanity.
Nice Mustie1 reference, I found your channel from whatching his, good to see RUclipsrs promoting each other. Enjoy your channel, keep doing what you do and keep the camera rolling.
Your channel is much better than other one mentioned and not just because I tired of watching carburetor float bowls being cleaned. You read the service manuals and show respect for professional solutions. McGuyver fixes can be impressive, but sometimes bailing wire and chewing gum are the wrong answer.
Yeah, I hear what you are saying. Some things he does are a little head scratching. But still entertaining!
Glad you gave Mustie a shout out
I don't imagine he needs it, but you never know.
Hi from a snowball engineering channel watcher as well,
Wes you do some amazing videos and so knowledgeable.
From kiwi land.
Huge shout out to you Wes. You are miles ahead of the Moldy guy. Your professionalism speaks volume and repair equipment with reliability in mind. Your analytical approach should be a lesson learned in troubleshooting most anything. Buying new parts? Why not cobble junk together for a fix? Because you do it better and you own that T shirt. You are my favorite and I don't yell at the screen while watching you. This Millwright thinks your awesome 👌
Interrupted but the phone. For you this is all you need. I like the power steering. Nice machine. Change the oil often keep the filters clean and it will last another 20 or probably more years. Take care Wes
I was wondering why your gasoline was florescent yellow and then...... its not gasoline
Mortske is sooo proud of you!
Well done !! First time watcher. Liked what you did and your honesty. Ida paid $200 for it being a non runner. Mustie1 is a fave of my RUclips channels - good job following his kind of “shtick”!
That's what I paid. I guess I was pretty close.
He makes the Moldy guy look silly.
I’m glad you know Mustie1 :)
As far as I know it’s a stash if his wife doesn’t know about it. If she does it’s a hoard :) but don’t quote me on that.
This is awesome. 2 musties, twice the videos.
They replace the deck because grass rots out the deck if it's not cleaned off.
The decks crack where the blade spindles mount.
I’m an expert on these Cub’s and it was fun watching you stumble through that. I buy them in that condition for around $400. BTW it’s a Kohler Command engine, not a Briggs. They are known to leak and blow up at an early age. Keep an eye on your oil level.
I used to have a mower just like that except for it had the snow plow mount on the front. Would do anything to get that mower back.

Diesel cans are Yellow for a reason.
Yup.
We have black, green or red. As long as you know what's in it, it doesn't matter.
Some chuckle head tried to run it on diesel,lol
always keep fuel in the propper container saves you from a fueling mistake

Everything I own is that way.
ditto
i love watching you and mustie1 working
And yes that is a Kohler nit a Briggs. I could tell that the second I saw it.
Awesome.
They are pretty decent motors. The older Kohler motors are pretty hard to kill plenty of life left in it.
My Cub Cadet 125 was built in 1967 - PITA to work on sometimes, but it's still solid!
one that old around Oklahoma goes for about 150 to 300 dollars, depending on the seller. If they know what they have, might even go for $500.00. glad you got it running with minor things.
The Cub Cadet Diesel! Unique to Illinois
The additives in the diesel will clean-up that carb for you :)
Sounds like a good enough excuse!
Nice to see someone keep it real we all have our moments anyone else would have edited it out witch is why we all watch your videos keep the videos coming can't get enough
Good to see RUclipsrs passing the hat. Works better than youtube recommendations! Thanks Wes!
Seems like RUclips only recommends channels and videos that are already popular. I suppose that includes Mustie. But you never know.
Ya Mustie1 does have a lot of cool videos, great to enjoy
Good job. Does look like it needs an appointment with Mustie1's pressure washer..........Jay
Yeah. I have a hot water pressure washer, but it was the first thing I moved out of my old shop, so it doesn't really help me at the moment.
When you took the line out of the diesel tank and I saw what a bright color it was I started screaming at my phone "no don't do it" lol thanks for the laugh
Commentary from my 84 year old dad. ‘Why the hell didn’t he clean off that gas (diesel) tank. You think he would for National TV’
I'd just think of that diesel as a little top end oil - not a bad idea for starting up an engine that's been sitting for a while.
Gotta use clamps, wouldn't want the fuel to come out under pressure and start a fire! ;-)
Great job
Paint that sucker so everybody knows you worked on it AND IT STILL WORKS !
That’s a Kohler Engine, lol
Prime the carb, it helps.
Well, it has a fuel pump, doesn't need any priming :)
Love your videos.....your voice reminds me of Drew Carey...lol!!!
Funny thing Wes I clicked on the video thinking it was a Mustie1video! The thumb nail looks like his old garage and it was a Cub Cadet mower. Cool video. Matt C
Sweet. I can ride his coat tails!
Who puts diesel in a red container? Thought it was supposed to go in yellow?🤣🤣🤣
None runners here in Houston are around a hundred but runners will bring 400-500 without a problem. That is a good tractor.

new to the channel Wes , and enjoyed it alot , also a Mustie fan

did just did the same diesel crap today on the snowblower, first time i did that and felt worthless.
Thanks for the video, Wes!
A lesser man would have edited the diesel part out. We've all done that.
Sometimes you screw up so obviously there no hiding from it!

"Hose clamp pliers" lol good video as always
They do cut down the frustration factor.
@@WatchWesWork my wife just changed the fuel line on our John Deere, she used my cobras.

Ayy up wes love watching your vlogs All the way from England keep up the good work
I you ever have any line that you are unsure of, just look for braiding in the line. All fuel rated lines will have it. If the line is straight rubber, then it is not fuel rated.
I purchased a Huskee one from facebook once it worked great the first 2 years then it started eatting up belts and i never could figure out why.
That wasn't a mistake with the diesel
1. Probably cleaned the hell out of the carb
2. Upper cylinder lubricant
Most deck no matter the brand if you don’t clean the deck and the up keep on blades tire pressure is a must for a level deck as wellwell gas will thin it and will be ok
Good vid can't wait for the next cub episode!
Mustie1 lives in NH not too far from me!
Hey Wes if you are watching Mustie1, maybe you are watching Marty T too? I watch you 3 guys all the time!
My 3 first choices as well!
lol you know i was watching the clear fuel line and thinking that looks a lot like diesel but chalked it up to the camera or hose and then you say it's diesel. looks like it will be a decent mower when your got her fixed up.
I think it will be. It's definitely not a multi-fuel engine though!
I get it takes time… because it’s your machine a keeper if you will.. consider pressure washing all the crap off the machine.. just a thought 💭
Thinking about it, I am pretty sure that Governor Pritzker just instituted a new tax on the purchase of used lawn equipment. $400 sounds more reasonable now. $200 for the mower and $200 for the state of Illinois. Yep, that sounds about right.
I'll just claim a farm exemption!
What about the right rear tire he said it might not be the right one
I would say $300 running since it is fancy with power steering, $150 not running only because all the tires hold air.
Sounds about right.
Excellent, all you need now is some grass.
With the amount of rain we've had, it's not difficult to find.
Well there's your dinner
Nice to see you are (also) human ;)
👍Those were always pricey mowers.
Someone on a forum said these cost around $5,000 new back in the late 90s. That seems a little crazy.
@@WatchWesWork They were overpriced. But they were also great mowers when serviced properly. The decks were made from thicker materials and so on. I liked the older models better than the newer ones.

I have a John Deere L118 mower that was bought in 2005. Has something over 200 hours on it and the fuel pump has been replaced once. Can't be to much junk eh? :o)
I have a JD 111 from 1982 that I use every year. That thing is unbelievably heavy.
Ethanol in the fuel equals rotting rubber parts
Woah, at 25:42 did you notice that the center cap of the steering wheel looks a LOT like the WatchWesWork logo. lol
I imagine those pliers would work with hog rings too.
if the new rubber pipe on the gas tank is in the way turn the tank clockwise to take up the slack 😇
How do I take the mower deck off? Having a hard time
Ha, I actually thought it was Mustie1 video.
I can't do the Boston accent.
I did to when I saw the title! LOL
Why you think about it the diesel actually help lubricate the top in from any damage
I just saw a troy story ad where 2 toys just attacked a old lady. Right before this video played.
