Working on a Cub Cadet 1211. Not sure if it's IH or MTD. If it's MTD just throw me off no problem. It has a Kohler M12 engine with a walbro carb. The carb is not so good. I rebuilt a Kohler carb from a K series. Carb works great. However I have two issues 1. Back plate for the air filter has the holes in the wrong place I could redrill them but the throttle linkage will hit it. 2. Choke works great except its backwards. Push it in to choke it. Has anyone ran into this before.? Will a backplate from a 1200 work? Can I use the choke shaft from the Walbro?

LOL, not illegal.

The 1211 is a CCC/MTD product, produced from 1987 to 1989.

People modify their tractors all the time, and changing to a different Carb is no big deal.

:HeadScratch: I always thought an ill eagle was a sick bird. Reverse choke cable from coming in from the top to the bottom, or from front to back, or from left to right, or vice versa, depending on your set up.

Cub Cadet 123

The reverse choke cable likely comes from one installation routing the cable from above and the other routing from below. Either will work fine (the engine doesn't care).


I doubt Roland will arrest you for this question. Now, if you painted your tractor green and yellow, maybe he would....

Naw,
Green and yeller are purdy colors :beerchug:
Had a die hard IH friend that would say they paint them tractors Green, sows they kin hide in the tall weeds trembling, while the red power machines drove by.:biggrin2:
