My Cub is smokin' and not in a good way!
Lent my 149 to a neighbor to haul some watermelons from his patch to the house. A week later I got her back and she sat in the shed until last night. I went to mow the lawn and I saw smoke coming from under the hood and around the dipstick. I shut her down and checked the oil. Bone dry. Nothing on the dipstick at all after I wiped it down and reinserted it. I let it cool down then filled it with oil and took off for a test run. Same thing happened 5 min later. Smoke. I shut it down again to check things out. Now I can't get it to start. Not even a click from the key. Battery is fully charged. 2 separate issues or related? Haven't had a chance to test electric flow yet. Any suggestions? Other then never lend it out agin?

In all fairness I doubt your neighbor caused the issue. That being said I'd do some testing around the key switch and the solenoid to see if your getting power to the s/g.

Hope you didn't cook the motor...that would suck! Was it an oily smelling smoke or that of something electrical burning? Before trying to start it again I would go over the electrical stuff like the coil etc. To rule out the obvious! Good Luck! As for lending it out my rule of thumb there is "If I ain't on it... it don't go!"

Welcome to OCC.
I don't know if two separate issues is better or worse. I'd probably try to figure out the electrical issue first. Start at the battery and work your way to where the electricity stops. Might be something as simple as a bad neutral safety switch or unplugged. You can find a wiring diagram in the tech, section. If the engine was running with no knocks or unusual noise, you may not be in much worse shape than you were before. If there was no oil on the stick, I'm guessing that it already used a little oil before your neighbor got it, Lord knows they don't run without oil for very long. Good luck and keep us posted.

Can you turn it over by hand? If not. Would say is toast also. This is why I don't like loaning stuff out. It sucks but I'd say it's rebuild tme.

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.
