Just a hint of gunk will do a lot of damage and cause a LOT of headaches in a fuel system.

Welcome!! I agree with the others, you have a fuel flow problem. Follow what the others have suggested and the problem will show itself. It could be fuel tank, shutoff, plugged fuel line, or dirt in the carb itself. All these are not very hard to fix but seem to give headaches till found.

Default Quick Tank Cleaning
One way to clean the tank is to take it off and empty it, let it sit overnight cap off to evaporate out anything left, drop a length of small chain (like a dog leash, etc) into it and shake it around to knock any rust/scale loose. Then you can shake it out of the cap or use a small nozzle off a shop vac to clean it out. The chain is easier to get out and seems to clean better than a handful of nuts and bolts. You may still want to really clean and seal the tank, but this will work to get it going. I have two Originals, one is a 4 digit 1961 that was my dad's, and the other a 1963 that I got for parts but got running and use frequently to mow. They've been joined by a 122 and someday all will be restored. Someday.

John,

I highly doubt one will fit in a carry on, BUT...no bother buying a ticket back to the south...I'll show you the tricks of the old tractor and point you in the direction you need to go...just pull your suitcase behind you. Might need to stop a few times for gas...Hy-Tran...probably a few times to blow the tires back up. See the sights, plan for a few months on getting back home ;-)

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.
