LMAO.. Actually, YES.. I have returned 5-6 Ford 300 single barrel's in the last year. These are china new carbs that are at a great price if you get a good one but one out of 4-5 we get is no good. You can tell as soon as you go to adjust mixture screw and nothing happens. Can turn all the way in runs rich, turn all the way out and remove with no change.. Pop another carb on and it will run great. Now I understand this is not the same as a tractor carb but I would think there are some crappy manufacturers of them out there also..New carb could be ported incorrectly or even sometimes not at all.. Oooops, missed a step! lol..
I have never gotten a bad carb for a tractor. Your right! But I have always either rebuilt and cleaned what I had or purchased a factory part. Problem with the Ford 300 carbs is they aint makin no more at ford. the rebuild kits cost almost as much as an aftermarket carb. Carb guys near me anyway are almost extinct.. <sad but true... And dollar for dollar I would rather pay my labor to install a second carb than pay a guy to rebuild a carb. In the time it takes to rebuild properly I could have the same guy change the carb 20 times.

All good points tho.. I was only trying to cover all the bases to the question and my gut feeling was totally junk in the carb either from his tank or the devilish packaging peanut! lol

I rebuild all my own carbs. All brands, all types, all ages. Easy work, just time consuming.

We did it for years. But as salaries grow, at some point it was not cost effective anymore. We also use to rebuild our own Ford 300's. Now you can buy a long block with all the tin for 1200 bucks with warranty, Did the math on that, same goes there. We still rebuild the diesels in house tho.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
