Wow, that top engine looks brand new!!! If you want an easy way to clean off that build up, I have found that Super Kleen (purple bottle) from Wal-Mart is a super degreaser---even better than Easy Off oven cleaner. Just don't get any on your skin as it will remove all of your oil and dry out your skin. Keep up the good progress!

Make sure to check the warp on that head, Nick. Looks like the compression ring was blown on one side. Don't want any failures!

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.
