Most of us learn from our mistakes. With just a small dent in our pride or wallet.
My Dad has a AC D17 tractor with a trip bucket front end loader. One day doing a little work around the farm. He stops and can't get it started. Seems it has a bad spot on the flywheel. He goes and gets the little cub 154 to give it a tug and bump it past the bad spot. He gives it a good yank and hears the AC bark to life. To his amazment it passed him right by. The AC in second gear and half throttle moves faster than his Cub.
Did you know that tractor tires float when they get in two feet of water. Ask him how he found out. Lucky for him it went into the shallow end of the pond and the chain fell off when it went by. The tow out only cost him a copy of the photo my mom took of the John Deere pulling the AC out of the pond.
I hope dad learned to turn the key to "off" when you want to just bump the motor!
I would've loved to seen my dad's face of the AC paddle wheeling in the pond.

Well, to answer your original question, you need a Carter #26 carb if you are going to replace and not fix the one you have. You look inside the throat of the carb, with the choke open and you can see the number 26 at the top of the throat. You do not want a Walbro carb, they aren't worth having in my opinion.

I'm glad that you shared your story and learned from your mistake, without anything worse happening. We live in a world where people would rather pay to be entertained, than educated. The equipment is easily replaced....so it cost you a little, CHEAP LESSON! Just glad that you are alright! Don't feel bad, we have all done some risky stuff that we have learned from, so you are in good company and keep in mind that we are not here to judge you, but to help you and provide constructive advice!

I'd echo all of the others regards on fixing that PTO. It's been my experience that if a problem is caught early, it can prevent larger, more expensive problems from happening .....that's why we change our oil, etc... Right now, that PTO might be easily rebuilt, rather than replaced.

Waiting to see your pics of your carb and we'll help you any way that we can...Let us know on your progress.

Here's the pic. You can see - shorn clean. There's a nub there, maybe I can figure out some way to fix this?

Choke turns fine - no problem.

No so much at your misfortune, but more because over the years I have had similar days... I guess we all have.

I live by the rule: If a man doesn't make any mistakes, then chances are, he isn't doing very much.

Glad you (or anyone else) weren't hurt.

Don't our sponsors carry new choke shafts?

PM me if you can't find one someplace....I think I have a junk #26 carb around somewhere that has the low idle jet broken off in it.

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.
