First Cub - SGT 2072
I am a longtime reader of these forums and I finally purchased my first Cub! It is a SGT 2072 with the 20HP Kohler Magnum, 60" Haban deck, 3pt hitch, a 3pt back bucket and front hydraulics. Overall it's in fairly good shape, it could use a good cleaning and some paint to look like some of the tractors I've seen on here. I bought it mostly because it had the 3pt and 60" deck with the steel side panels, i like the look of the cyclops but so many recommend against them for the lack of durability with the side panels. I'm currently looking to add some attachments such as a plow and a disc but I've not had great luck so far.
I did get to use it to bury a dog fence wire for a friend of mine by wedging a sharpened piece of rebar rod with a tube for the wire to go through attached to it between the top of the A frame and the bottom bar of the back bucket. It did surprisingly well even across a hard packed gravel driveway. The tractor had plenty of power to dig two holes when the rebar was a bit too low and caught on a root or large rock, i think I'll need some weights on the back. Overall it worked great and buried the fence about 4 - 5" below the surface. Now for the bad about this tractor. It will not idle down at all; it just stalls. I've pulled the carb off and cleaned it, there was a bit of orange/brownish goo that was removed but I'm guessing that there's some of that in the low speed jet as well. It seems to run well on full throttle but will not idle down. I was hoping for some insight into this issue and if folks have a recommended method of cleaning these carbs. Also it seems that this is a fixed jet carb, what is the correct rebuild kit for this carb? Thanks, -Levi

Welcome Levi, I too am working on one of my 2072's with a Walbro fixed jet carb. I picked up a Kohler carb kit #koh25-757-11-s for $38 and really all it comes with is a lot of gaskets that u dont need, a needle, and some plugs that i did not use. I now now to buy the parts seperate. Walbro needle #82-529-7 , float #75-566-1. I cleaned the carb and put the new needle in but i dont think the needle is seating because after a few hours i see fuel in the intake manifold. It runs great but i just dont want to fill the crankcase with fuel so i will be taking it off again to try to set the float right.Hope some of this helps. Dave

Nice tractor. Make sure that the governor is working properly. I have a 1541 with a Mag 18 that does the same thing and it is because the plastic governor gear is broken. I also put on all my tractors, with the fuel tank above the engine, a inline fuel shut off valve that is easy to get to and shut the fuel off before I shut the engine down.

Walbros do not have a replacable needle seat for the float. Once it wears it's gone. Best best is to replace that carb with an adjustable one from a KT17.

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.
