Well guys......I've been working on (3) Cub Cadets a guy brought by our place for me to get running for him. One of which was the CC 124. Since I'm doing this in my spare time (weekends), its taken a little while to get it done. I got the tractor running and operating about 2 weeks ago and was awaiting a new air filter before I tried it out and called the guy to pick it up. Mowed beautifully for about 3-4 passes in the front yard. This tractor had 115 psi compression when we got it going and puffed a little smoke only when you accelerated the throttle. Never smoked continuously or seemed to be of any concern. No knocks and ran beautifully. Well......made those 3-4 passes and in the last pass I put in in 3rd (was in 2nd), and decided to go across the yard to head back to the shed. Figured I'd leave the blades on since it was doing so good as I drove across the yard. As soon as I was going into a turn, I heard 3-4 knocks (pings) and all of a sudden it died. Towed it back to the shop, checked compression, 45 psi. UGGHHHHHH
I'm sure this is not an easy fixable problem. The engine sure was hot. I hate to call the guy and tell him none out of the 3 will be able to be used this season (one other one has 120 psi but smokes and knocks while running at all speeds, and the other tractor has 20 psi compression therefore we haven't fooled with it). I wonder what the specific problem is and what caused it?

Many owners of tractors travel long distances to attend these shows and they usually take their restored iron along with them. Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that ‘quick look over’ before taking it on a trip. Before hooking up to it check the tongue for proper operation. The latche
