Hey all been a while since I posted. I did a brief search but didn't come up with much. I am trying to get my equipment ready for what looks like a heavy snow winter. The cub seems to have multiple issues that are plaguing it.
Background: The tractor has been increasingly hard to start for the past 6 months. Lots of fiddling with the throttle and choke. Putt once then crank again for a while, another putt, after 3-5 minutes worth of it will finally take off with an abundance of smoke out of the pipe. On top of this there is oil leaking from somewhere, haven't tracked that down. This weekend went out to get it running. Charged battery, checked oil, put a gallon of fresh gas in. Rolls really slow and typical putt, every once in a while. Tried starting fluid, that only created back fire out of the exhaust. Tried gas into the carb same back fire out of the exhaust. Pulled the plugs before starting fluid and gas in the carb. The plugs were a little crusty but nothing saying I don't have fire, wire brushed and put back in. Notable point they were bone dry, no gas on them. I did try another battery and didn't roll any faster. I did roll the engine with the I need to review the grounds to see if this is an issue. I am starting to ramble so I will cut it off. Just want to see if any of the professionals here to provide some guidance on what to do next to get old girl going again: Check grounds? Rebuild starter? rebuild carburetor? verify fuel pump works? rebuild engine? full restoration? Thanks for any and all help. Jason |

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.
