What do you mean 'nothing in top of motor'...I assume you mean gas? Crank it over with the choke on for a few seconds and remove the spark plug...if it isn't soaked in gas, you have a carb problem. Time to disassemble, soak, and rebuild the carb if that's the case.

Bottom oil return? Huh? Maybe you ran it out of oil... There is no pressure lubrication system, it's all splash lubricated. Does it turn over or is it ceased?

the squealing doesn't seem like it's a fuel problem... I'd say it's time to pick up a craigslist mower for the time being and tear down the CC and check the bearings and such. Being able to repair a worn part vs having a trashed part is a lot of $$$.

Once the CC is back in service, sell the craigslist mower for what ya paid for it. generic MTD LTs are cheap on there.

Check the Resources>Technical Library section of this site. You should be able to find your service manual for the engine.

Have you checked your S/G? Perhaps the belt tension isn't adjusted correctly or maybe it needs to be rebuilt.....

My 73 did the same thing ...and squeeled like a little piggy, too...and I replaced the S/G---problem solved. After taking apart the S/G and analyzing it, it was obvious that was the problem. Worth a check!

Have you tried turning it over by hand? I know you say it won't stay running and makes funny noises, won't turn over with the starter, but have you moved the engine by hand to get a good feel for how the internals are moving?

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.
