The compression test was done before I took possession, and before the extent of the mouse damage was known. "Dry" meaning we didn't have any gas in the cylinders that would bump up the compression. While I don't personally know how long it sat, I am pretty sure it was awhile, so the engine will be inspected before I try to run the tractor. I wouldn't have taken the deal of trading a running tractor for a non running tractor, if I had no hope of running the engine. All this is really pretty premature discussion, I was only intending this thread to be a new to me discussion and a thanks to a friend for looking it over a little bit. Now I'm not to proud to ask for and take advice, I'm not really sure at this point what advice to ask for though. We were only able to spend a half hour looking at it so far. I'll post an update when I have more info available.

There is no such thing as a "dry" compression test by your description. You are supposed to do it with no gas in the cylinders. Gas does not "bump up the compression". Gas burns and makes fire and power. The piston traveling down sucks in air, and it going up with the valves shut makes compression. Fuel has nothing to do with it.
As a note, the proper way to test compression is with all spark plugs removed, tester in the cylinder to be tested, choke off, throttle in WOT position. Then crank until the gauge stops building pressure. This gives the true compression reading.

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.
