My 100 is acting up and I suspect it may be the carburetor. I've already had it running this year and turned about 75% of the garden last week. While it was running though, I had to leave the choke on the entire time otherwise it would die.
The last time I used it, it kept running worse and worse until it wouldn't run at all and hasn't cranked since. I cleaned the points and put in a new spark plug and neither seemed to help. After reading some on this forum, I checked the throttle shaft and there seems to be some play in it. Question: Should I buy a kit(s) and rebuild this carburetor or buy one of the aftermarket carbs online? If I rebuild this one, where is the best place to source parts, and what exactly will I need? Is there anything else I might need to look at on the tractor as well? Here is a picture of the top of the carburetor. The linkage looks a little different than some of the other pictures I've seen. I also noticed that the linkage is broken at the throttle shaft and just seems to be sitting there, not really fastened. IMG_1045.jpg Let me know what you think. I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so please type slow. Don |

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.
