New to pulling
I would like to start pulling. I bought a 108 with a 12hp kohler, thinner head gasket, bored .030 , new rod and piston, cut valves, cheater cam, k&n air filter. It's suppose to all set up and ready to go pulling. The rear end is stock so should I be pulling in 2nd or 3rd gear depending on the track ? Hard packed track pull in 3rd ? and how do I place the weight ? Pulling in 950 and 1050 stock class.

First off, welcome to garden tractor pulling. Setups differ from track to track and even tractor to tractor. It usually takes the first year or so to get the tractor set up. Weight placement, track conditions, tire pressures, and finding the best line down the track are a few factors in a successful pull. Generally speaking on a hard track and loose track we have more weight on the rear, less on the front. On a wet, sticky track we put more weight on the front. When we pulled stock we couldn't use the stock 3rd, because it was too high. We pulled in 2nd mostly, and moved our weights around and played with tire pressures.

I started out with a near stock tractor at my first event and just started talking to the guys. They knew I was a complete rookie but I always thanked them and offered to push there tractor up on the scales or was quick to lend a tool or hand. Soon enough , they started to help me figure out those things that I was clueless on. Within a few events and a couple more dollars, I was competitive in the stock classes. It seems that when you start to get up into the more "profitable" modified classes that the love stops and you will be on your own. You will figure it out.

Just put it in 2nd put a tarp strap over the shifter and stand on on that throttle, the rest will come to ya. Weights vary greatly from track and tractor so its hard to say. The best advice I can say is find a tractor close to your set up and spy. Figure out what their running on the frontand pile the rest on the back.

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.
