Somebody told me to buy gas from a station that is always busy. They tend to have "fresher" gas (less water). Jonathan, is there any merit to using "Sea-foam" gas additive?

Jonathan, thank you for the input. I used "Sea-foam" in a jet-ski once and it cleared up a stale gas fuel injector issue. It has been recommended to me several times. I also don't really use additives much. I have used Berryman's B-12 Chemtool (steel can version, I don't think the plastic can has the "good" stuff in it) in my car with noticed improvement. My best advice, don't let things sit, keep things moving/running.

That is the absolute best advice! That is what keeps things lubed up, and running good! Sitting things always have trouble when they come out to play. I see it every fall. Grain trucks that farmers let sit from fall to fall. Usually, it's older trucks that they only need in the fall. They use the "newer" ones in the off season. We have to fix brakes, leaky carbs, oil leaks, batteries, mouse nests and chewed wires..... on and on, every year. My tractors sit sometimes. But I usually go start them every 10 days or so. Let them run, get warm, move them around. Even if just to pull a wagon. Keeps them in good working order.

Yes drain and remove your fuel tank, as J said use gas or mineral spirits you don't need a lot you want it to slosh around, and shake the tank with the fluid in there to loosen up the crap. Drain and repeat as many times as it takes to remove all the junk. In your case I would also replace fuel lines and install atleast 1 filter. I use 2 on everything I use a screen type filter and a paper filter installed closer to the carb. I'm sure you will have that beast up and running in no time.

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.
