I bought this 1641...
Late this past summer I stumbled across a 1641 on that facebook marketplace thingy and since Ive gone from mowing one yard to three I decided I should buy a rider. My first choice was a Cub of course since I've had a nicely repainted O for like 20 years. Anyway, the thing ran ok (or so I thought) but had the somewhat common oil blowing out of the carb problem I've read about several times and had a bad miss with the pto engaged. The PO got it when it came with the house he bought, and said it hadnt really ran right for the last 2 or 3 years so he bought a newer mower and was tired of looking at this one. So I roll the dice and buy this thing for what I feel was a pretty reasonable price and stash it in the garage until I have time to mess with it. I thought it ran good with the pto disengaged. Turns out one of the plugs was solid black goo and it was only running on one cylinder. New plugs got it running on both cylinders which I assume has now fixed the miss when under load although I havent tried to mow with it in the snow. Now the carb issue-
seems the general consensus is that it probably needs a new carb due to the needle not seating well and filling the crankcase with gas (the oil was overfull when I got it and reeked of fuel). Is this really likely the case? The overfilling explanation makes sense but in my (automotive) experience my instinct is telling i have bigger problems like rings or a hole in the piston. Id appreciate any suggestions. Jeff

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.
