    might be a good time for a 2 jaw puller.

    Worked on a couple of those power more engines , not bad engines if they'd been cared for . I knew the about the engine spacer , used one one time - it's on my personal Honda 23 year old trim mower . But I've never seen another one , not too wide speadly used in this area .

    Your approach to pulling the adapter works, but, it seems to be a lot of work! Harbor Freight has a 3 piece puller set for $21.99.

    Henry, enjoy the videos. You sure are strong little guy. You toss those mowers in & out of your truck, like they’re plastic toys. Who’s the good looking lady mowing in the beginning of the videos? She for sure doesn’t care about PPE. LOL.

      I appreciate your comments, I’m surprised you think I’m strong, this old body has been tossing mowers back and forth for 5 years, probably just good technique. The lady is my camera woman, lol!

    I do believe there’s 3 different holes for height adjustment even on that cheap deck. Zip a wheel off and see.

    Good job bro. I have exactly the same one then the cube Cadet with a head scratch engine. I could give the deck if you where close here in pa

    Instead of finding a shorter blade adapter, you should've make a handmade spacer to mount the engine on top.

    It’s always the simple ones that aren’t worth anything that end up being the biggest PITA projects! Some nut will buy it, that engine is pretty good.

    I knew about the spacer and used the same spacer. I also shimmed one engine with stacked flat washers another with aluminum spacers I made. I would have tried welding that cub deck with some metal to get more $$$$$$

    Those spacers are not very common. Last one I saw was nearly an inch thick. Forgot what I pulled it off of.

    Should have patched/welded Cub Cadet deck, or gone on to the next one. Not only does this mower look ridiculous, it will be scalping, not mowing the grass. Just saying, not hating on you.

    • @MowersNBlowers

      The spacer fixed the low blade issue bro! Fixing that deck would have been hours of welding sanding grinding priming and painting

    Why do you keep saying you can't adjust the Height of the wheels all you have to do is take the bolt and nut off for the wheel and then put it in a lower hole. There's three different holes for 3 different Heights and they're set for the middle one from the factory
