Also, wouldn't be the first time that a spark plug just up and failed.
Bolts rattle loose?? Nah.

Is the B- the large wire that bolts to the grill/frame? If so, it's good. All the wires on the coil were tight. So I don't think it was any of those.

I didn't look real well into the fuel tank. That's a possibility I suppose. Although I think I smelled fuel after I cranked it a little bit.

I just replaced the spark plug when I bought it, so I doubt that's it, but certainly not ruling it out completely. I have a new one ready for the 149. I'll try that too.

It seemed to turn very quickly, so I'm thinking maybe it's a valve. Should it fire after cooled down if it's the valve?

I took the coil and condenser out and brought it home. I'm going to try and bench test it. Does anyone know what resistance I should get on each coil? How do I test the condenser?

My 149 runs, could I take the condenser and coil off it and swap to see if that's the issue?

Here is a video of it turning over. It seems a little quicker than normal. Thoughts?

If I get the 149 running well, I'm ordering the PTO parts so I can put it into commission. Then I'll haul the 1200 back to my house so I can tinker with it, if it's not something simple to fix. I REALLY don't want to take off the head and mess with valves.

Thanks everyone for the help!

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.
