Cub Cadet 129 choke frozen
Hi all, this is Kyle again, and a had a sort of stupid question. Recently, I left my cub outside in -12 degree Fahrenheit weather for a few hours, wanting to test its cold starting abilities, and when I came home the choke was frozen. Eventually I got it started, brought it inside, used wd40 to unfreeze the choke, ame it's been good ever since. I guess this issue is to be expected in -12 degree weather, but here is the interesting part. Yesterday night, it was about 5 to 15 degrees, and I was using it. The choke worked fine. Then, I pulled it in the garage as usual. Then, this morning at about ten degree weather (and even though it was in the garage, the garage ain't heated and it coulda gotten as low as prolly 0 or -5 overnight), I went to do a quick cold start and it froze again. It hasn't got water in since I lubed it and Its not rusty, and since I blasted it like three times with the wd40 I bet that all the water that could have been, but that I doubt was in it, was blasted out. Eventually, I pushed and pulled on it for a minute and got it to work and I'll be lubing it again this afternoon. If anyone has any other comments or other tips on how to fix or prevent this problem, please post below.
Thanks again, Kyle

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.
