I'm sure that cleaning / adjusting the valves is a great idea...and undoubtedly should be done...but we're going to take our chances here. IF it still does not run well and winds up going down to my brother's service station, then, yeah, that would be something I'd have him do. To tell you the truth, I looked at those valves and thought that it would be great to do something with those as well as the general cleaning I did, but I have no idea where to begin. Don't bother going into an explanation, cause I just don't have too much more time to devote to this. I'm putting so many other things on hold that need attention. If it was not something "a bit involved"...I'd be tempted to take it on. "A bit involved", for me, probably equates to "a lot of work"!! I must say, though, I think I did a pretty decent job of the head cleaning. Great learning experience.
I will say that, according to a 2013 invoice from a local repair service I used when the tractor also wasn't starting well, they did do valve work along with having the head off - and also replaced a valve and a gasket (presumably the head) - so that's only 4 years ago. We'll see how things go.... |

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.
