Default Gas shut-off extension....don't shoot me!

I drilled a small hole in the push-pull knob of the shut-off valve to except the small wire of an old choke cable. Now I can pull the knob to open the valve. I still open the hood and make sure it is shut off by reaching in with my finger and pushing it closed. Please don't shoot me!

That's some fine thinking there bllwnkl
I doubt IH is going to issue a recall for this problem so you better tool up and start selling these kits yourself

I used to never shut mine off,until the bowl overflowed and left a puddle of gas all over the floor! Thats a good idea there! I found I can shut mine off by using my middle finger and flipping the shut off up or down,its a hard reach but can be done with the side panels on. IH didn't think that one through when they built it!

Young enthusiast, not sure what yours is like, but mine is the push pull button, not the lever. I drilled a small hole in the button and put the wire through the hole and bent it so it would allow me to pull on the button with the choke cable to open the valve. It worked!

All that wasted energy. I just use a screw driver to push and pull the shut off valve for the fuel.

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.
