Default Strange sound when cranking 169- video attached
Not sure what this sound is when cranking but it doesn't sound good. Doesn't happen all the time.

Not sure what you're hearing Jim? If anything I heard some belt slippage I think during one of the cranks but other than that seems normal? Check belt tightness on starter generator

Maybe a humming voltage regulator or the hydrastatic transmission?

I think Alvy has the best guess. I couldn't really tell what that noise was.

Thanks guys. To me it sounded like it was coming from the hydro. Depending how much of video you watched, it seemed the sound amplified when the tractor was set in motion.

I got some carb work to do as well on a side note. Won't run past idle for more than a few seconds without shutting off with a loud backfire

OK just went back and rewatched. The noise I refer sounds like a squeel and can be hear @ 0:02 - 0:03. Additionally , @ 1:11 when I try and throttle up, the tractor cuts out (dies) and that noise is evident when it stalls? Would a belt be slipping when stalling?

That growling sound makes me think the hydro isn't all the way in neutral. Mine make that noise when I shut them down and the hydro isn't fully in neutral. Check all your linkages and make sure they are where they should be.

I hear the squeal too. Might be associated with the hydro not being in neutral. Might be worth a fluid/filter change in the rear end too.

Make sure your condenser has a good ground to a clean spot. Mike

That groaning noise is when the hydro has a load against it at low engine speed. Common if neutral is not aligned right, as others have said. Rough running and backfiring also can mean a bad or poorly grounded condenser. Good luck with it, you'll get it up and running in no time!

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.
