My 129 loses power while mowing (for at least the first hour)
Hi,
Perhaps it's more due to an area of grass/weeds that is a bit thicker than other parts of my lawn (although I've been mowing the same stuff for years), but what has been happening is that, first of all, the tractor starts a bit hard. The ACR system should be working cause I checked and the springs are attached. Anyway, once it starts, it doesn't sound right - as though the power strokes are not as close together as they should be. I have to run at higher throttle than usual. Then, when I start mowing, the engine slows way down as I start going through the higher grass. I have to go on the brake, let the RPM come back up, then can go again. All this necessitates mowing at a much slower pace than usual. Sometimes it seems like it's almost going to stall. However, once I'm going for close to an hour - everything seems fine and the engine sounds normal, and I can back off the throttle a bit. Granted that the rest of lawn - after the first hour - is not as thick as the first section I mow, but still, something just doesn't seem right. Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated. The engine is undoubtedly due for overhaul since it does take a good amount of oil, and so could that be the main problem? I've done some carburetor adjustments but that didn't seem to really help. Thanks, Keith

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.
