127 dead engine
My cub 127 is dead after one year of ownership. I was having smoking and overheating problems this spring when tilling the garden. I read on here to look for a mouse nest behind the motor and what do you know there was one. So I dug that out, still the engine smoked out of the breather by the valves but it was better. I read on here to try some Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas and oil to try and free up the valve. So I did and it was getting better, very little smoke. Then the unthinkable happened. I was finishing up the last of the tilling before planting, must have let it get low on oil, when, CLANK, CLANK, CLANK……… I shut off the engine quick, but she is all done.
I have never fixed anything, but this site is giving me inspiration and hope that I can do it. Or at least tear into the motor and see what broke. Thanks all of you who post your repairs and pics that help out us simpletons. My first question. I don’t think the tow release lever is doing anything. From what I have read on here I shouldn’t tow this tractor without releasing the valves on the hydro. How do I do this if the tow lever no longer works? Right now the 127 is in the middle of the garden. Not the best place for a first timer to tear into a motor. Need to get it out of there and into the barn. All help is appreciated. Thanks

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.
