i find my cub needs the choke only on the first start of the day, regardless of outdoor temp. once it has been started once, no choke required. just touch that key and the kohler k just roars to life. even in sub zero temps in the winter, once it has had its initial start, instant light-offs are just a key touch away. when cold, if choke is used, it starts instantly. my neighbor has a newer cheap cub cadet and seems to think the world of it. i cant wait until it starts falling apart and i can go to him and tell him "i told you so", that the POS will fall apart. he doesn't seems to appreciate the quality and strength behind the old stuff that is made better. i have a strong dislike for the newer stuff, i call it the walmart syndrome. everyone wants something now, cheap, and shiny.
the really funny part about my neighbors piece of crap, he got it stuck on the hill on the side of his yard. i came over laughing. i told him i will rescue his mtd piece of crap. i took the IH 147 and yanked him out. the 147 did even know that piece of junk was behind it.
to think, my neighbor calls my 147 an old piece of junk. im laughing at the stupidity. he can have his glorified mtd lawn tractor. he might as well just went down to tractor supply and bought the $800 huskey lawn tractor, they are built the same way.
people dont seem to understand that the IH built machines and even the early mtd built machines are real tractors. most of the new ones are lawnmowers, nothing more nothing less
