Thanks for the help, Don.  I "red" all that everyone has to say and plan to implement each and every suggestion.  Product defect, huh?  My Cub Cadet is safe because those old IH pieces of equipment are virtually without any semblance of 20th century technology.

 

I think I told you that the spark plug threads stripped on the Kohler engine head while removing the old plug.  I was (like several times before) surprised to find that I could purchase a new head from a company named Carter and Gruenewald out of Wisconson, together with a head gasket and new stud bolts.  When I talked to their parts guy, he told me that nearly every engine part is still available on those old engines.  Well, anyway, I installed the head, torqued it down to specs, and then ran out of time to reinstall it in the tractor.  What a kick working on those old tractors!

 

Good to see you and the Mrs. last week.  We'll be seeing you in the way-up-north one of these days!

I had problems with chipmonks (rodents to me) and found a good solution.
After the pesk control came out for 6 months and I saw what they did, I cancelled them and I bought a bait box like they use from the Ace Hardware. Most hardware stores and Home Depots have them. They are a black plastic container with a hole on the left and right sides the size of a Coke can. The lid opens to bait it. The bait is little cubes of "food" which the varmits eat on and take back to their den for others to dine on too. Soon, no more diners. It's clean and no dead anything to get rid of. It locks for safety around kids and animals.

Don, let us know if you come up with anything good. Seems like it 
would have to be a liquid that sprays on. John W.
