128 sudden vibration
I decided to grind up a few leaves this afternoon with the 128. Turned out to be more than I first thought, ran out of gas. Engine stopped real quick. didn't think anything about it, went and got gas, fired back up 10 minutes later. When I cranked back up, it was a little slower to crank than it seemed it should have been--almost cranked up flooded as it belched a bunch of black smoke--also had a bit of shaking goin on. Anyway, cleared out after a few seconds and back to work I went--no I didn't bother to investigate the shaking, figured it was all result of running out of fuel/restarting. When I stopped mowing and slowed the engine down, I could feel a fairly strong vibration. Blew off the debris from the leaves and did a quick inspection of the driveline. Clutch has wear on the 3 holes but doesn't appear to be broken, pins in driver, clutch functions OK, free travel seems like it has been for the last 20 years. Since I was done mowing, I didn't check the PTO--didn't feel like playing around the hot muffler. Anybody care to take a SWAG at what's causing the vibration? My guess is either the driveline or PTO didn't like the sudden stop. It'll probably be at least a week before I can get it to the shop, just looking for potential problems ahead of time.

Not a bad idea! This has been a very solid and reliable mower for the last 20 years, nothing but maintenance. Guess it is time for something to have an issue!

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.
