Question on K241 timing

Postby Jim in SC » Thu Apr 22, 2021 10:06 am

I recently finished refurbishing a '59 Farmall Cub and am now moving on to doing the same to a '71 Cub Cadet 106 that has sat in my barn for 5+ years. It ran when parked. I was attempting to time it today when I noticed that the push rod between the cam and the points is not moving at all when the engine is turned by hand. No visual movement and I couldn't feel any movement.

I need some help here. Does anyone know what may have happened to cause this and what do I do to fix it? :lost:

Thanks.

Is the push rod stuck on the high part of the cam? Can you remove the points and pull the rod out.?
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.

If I remember right they had trouble with some of the rods on K series engines and had a replacement for them.

Several discussions on Yesterdays' Tractors.

Corroded aluminum push rod. As BibBill suggests, pull the push rod, then clean up the corrosion.
I have an excuse. CRS.

Clean up the pushrod either add moly anti seeze or another anti seeze to it. Once it’s running the motor oil will keep it wet.
