Congrats on the second 18'! Yeah, that's a BIG seat and rear tires!! WOW!
 Check your key switch for the loose connection. Very common problem. I have trouble there from time to time on mine. Wiggle it a little and back in business. If its really bad, new switch and new terminals in the plug will fix it.

Well guys, couple more updates. The Cub gods must have been looking down on me last night because the g/f konked out for bed early which left me with wide awake Cub time! When she fell asleep, I carefully slinked out of bed, tip toed out to the garage, grinned, and got to work.
 I merely went out there with the intention of checking it out more in depth, maybe tracking down the loose electrical wire, just general tinkering. Well, hours later (didn't get to sleep until about 12:30am), I had made excellent progress. When I got this, I knew that there was some blockage in the ducting because not only did one side feel a bit restricted, but the other felt like there was down right very little air cooling her off. So, out came the wrenches and gloves. Diconnect this drive shaft, the electrical connections, remove that motor mount bolts, this fuel tank, the fire wall, and spin the starter bolt. Wait, what was that last part?!! That's right, everything was going great until until I went to remove the started bolt and it spun in place. A few choice words later, I continued on. Got the motor lifted out of the tractor and set on the frame (best I was going to attempt to do alone). Started by removing the drivers side left shrouds and woah! Grabbed a mouse nest and (this was a first for me) dead mouse out of the shrouding. Blew the last bits of dust out and moved to the other side. This, this was nothing short of horrible. I'll skip the details but by the time I was done with the drivers side right, I had found a pound of mouse bedding and I stopped counting at 2 more dead mice!  Anywho, blew it out too, wiped and scraped some dirt from the engine/frame, and then I was only down to a busted starter bolt and bad wire end. So, seeing as how I had a parts M18 sitting on my bench, grabbed the starter from it, rummaged through a parts bin and found a new wire crimp, and finished up; mounted the starter, re-crimped the end, and violla! Good to go.The rest went pretty smooth; set the engine back down, slid into place, bolted drive shaft up, hooked up electricals, installed firewall, yada yada yada  Sat back down, turned the key and nothing. Doh! Forgot to check for the electrical problem!  So, in an act of desperation, I got down on my knees, shined a flashlight behind the dash, and eyeballed everything. What do we have here? A lose wire on the fuse terminal! Jiggled that, sat down, turned the key, and vroom vroom! Started right up. So, I at least figured out what I set out to fix at the beginning of the night Anywho, here's the only couple pics I managed to snap before my phone died on me, I'll try and get some more when I make it back out to the garage. First one is of some of the dirt and crud that accumulated behind the engine. If only I had known haha The next one is of everything disconnected and ready to remove the engine. Next up is the first mouse sacrafice and nest on the left side, then only the START of the pile from the other side. That pile, phew, got B-I-G. So there it is, my progress on this tractor so far. I still want to pull the carb and clean it up, clean out the fuel tank, remove the fenders and pressure wash, change the transmission fluid/filter, just a couple little things. Hope you guys enjoyed, I'll be sure to keep it coming!     Quote:

Well guys, here's my progress for the night. To try and smooth the high idle out, I removed the carb and cleaned it as best I could (including removing the only adjustment screw and cleaning the passageway). Reinstalled and let it warm up. Tried full throttle and still a TAD surg-ey. Tinkered with the fuel adjustment screw got it to smooth out. Woo hoo! Tried a rev's and caught sight of a small puff of smoke when going from idle to full throttle. Any idea of possible causes? Possibly from sitting for so long (been sitting over the winter, at least)? Possibly from running too rich? Too lean?
Just to see how it'd run, I tried removing the spark plug wire from one side then the other; engine speed slowed down but it still ran on one plug. Also, I haven't seen any signs of it burning oil but I haven't ran it a whole lot to really get a good judgement. I'm hoping it'll clean up but time will tell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cojp5MsSvR8

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.
