Cub temp gauge.

Is there any place in the block to insert the temp probe on a cub?

As far as I know, No. There was a post a while back about a block that had some openings that were unusual but i can't find it. I suppose you could make one somewhere but that would be somewhat difficult unless you used the water outlet or inlet. If you just want to check the temperature consider a hand-held thermal sensor. There have been a few posts about using one to check for hot spots.

I have read posts where people have drilled into the inlet elbow to add a probe. http://www.tmtractor.com/new/en/244fp.htm

I've considered machining a fitting to take a temperature probe and use that as my dipstick. Got the idea from motorcycle oil filler temperature gauges. A small chunk of aluminum with some o-ring grooves and a threaded hole should do the trick to hold the thermometer, but still have to account for the breather.

To be most effective, you would want to take the temperature from the top of the engine near the coolant outlet. I've been considering cutting the hose and inserting an adapter like this. Might need to find a larger size adapter than what they show here, but their pictures are good.

No need, if it starts to overheat it will let you know.....
