Can Anyone Identify This Old Cub Cadet Tractor? If you can please let me know thanks.

These plastic carburetors that you either love or hate are in my opinion the best and easiest carburetors to work on and clean, so easy and so cheap to get a new one, I love them but some people hate them there’s no in between, I’d rather have a metal carburetor but these are so nice when you are flipping a mower. What do you all think.

Snagged this Ariens just a few weeks back and I dug into it when I got home and the wires were all chewed up but were poorly repaired put the jumper on and was able to weakly turn the engine over with the solenoid but the key didn’t do nothing I’m going to try a new battery to see if that makes a difference but I think the jumper should’ve had enough juice. Drop pics of your free pickups in the comments it’s crazy what people give away.

I just bought 32hp vertical shaft that broke the connecting rod caused some damage. It broke a chunk of the cylinder wall out and I am curious if anyone has had luck rebuilding and running something with similar damage. Its about 3/4" up and 1.25" wide and the rings stop well above the damage. Should I scrap it or rebuild it and drop it into a mud mower project?

I'm working on a 16HP Vanguard. Someone has removed any identifying marks on the shroud so I can't be certain.

I have obtained a new bushing/bearing, found under these 2 part numbers: 84013005
808534.

The instructions aren't very clear. There is an oil gallery at the 12 o-clock position of this crank bushing which appears to connect to the camshaft bore above. On my engine, there is a roll pin installed in the bushing at the 12 0-clock position.

The instructions that come with the bushing make no mention of the roll pin in the oil gallery.

Also, the new bushing has a tang.... The existing one does not....

Using the below parts diagram: part #2 is the bushing and seal kit

I cannot find any reference or illustration regarding the roll pin in the 12 o-clock position of the crank bushing while looking at this diagram.

Here's a service manual I'm looking at for this engine:
https://mudbuddy.com/wp-content/uplo...air-manual.pdf
On page 153 of this service manual, it mentions 2 different mag bearings. Looks like my engine is the early style with the roll pin. The manual mentions driving the old roll pin into the oil gallery to remove the bushing, and, the use of a special driver tool to install the new one.

Has anyone dealt with this? From what the manual states, if I drive the existing roll pin into the oil gallery, how do I get it out? There appears to be like a welch plug at the top of the casting. Not sure if I'm supposed to take that out or what?

Does this welch plug come out to remove the roll pin?

Existing bushing looks kind of chewed up:
