Looks like a satisfying project! What kind of fuel pump does that machine have? On the Cub Cadets I have they are all gravity fed. Even my Gravely Zero Turn (2004 Model 144Z) will operate without its pulse pump since most of the fuel is above the cylinders, but needs it when making fast turns & when the fuel tanks get below 20%. I found this out when the fuel pump vacuum hose became dislodged and it still operated, but crudely, showing fuel starvation on those fast turns that Zero Turn mowers make. That's a huge fuel tank compared to my 1969 Cub Cadet 125 or my 1970 Cub Cadet 147. --yours is 5 gallons, right? Mine's two gallons! And yours is made of plastic which will not rust. My metal fuel tank got pin hole leaks on the bottom and rust on the inside. The I used an inner tank rust treatment which did not stop the leak. So I used this stuff called Tech Bond designed for metal tanks & it worked swell. I then had to wrap the tank in heat protector because in a Michigan 90 degree + summer day operation those metal fuel tanks can get hot---especially when they are low on fuel!! The fuel will boil inside the metal tank which is located just above the hot engine! The heat shield wrapped around the tank stopped that!! I added a separate fuel filter in line from the tank bowl to the carburetor even though it still has the bowl on the bottom of the tank & then added a fuel shut off which allows me to put it away when I am overseas with a bunch of gas gumming up the carb. I've always wondered about those Wheel-horse pulley & belt drive systems. They appear to be well engineered but it would be good to see in detail how they work from the engine to the drive-train. Maybe those will be illustrated when the machine gets the refurbishing. I also like that Gilson (Montgomery Ward) back there. Good to have them both covered up instead of out in the elements! ---But hey I'm talkin' too much...
@@jordantractorvlogs7008 Thanks! --that seems similar then, to the 14hp Kohlers used in the J.I. Case 644 FEL machines which had a fuel pump running off a rod from the engine. I guess most of that era that had a fuel pump used similar set ups.

That's a cool old rig! Of course, I'm a little more partial to the MW 14 there, lol...cheers!
Frame up restore coming soon stay tunned

They use a rod that is on the pump that bolts to the engine block that runs off the Cam shaft

Yes case jd and many others use a fuel pump mounted on the block
