Got out this morning and removed the shields and blew out all the debris. There must have been 2 lbs of gunk on the shield under the tractor. Blew out the muffler too.

Fired it up and there was only a puff of smoke when it fired up. Runs great a full idle, but surges when I lower it. I assume the governor needs adjusted. I'm going to replace the fuel filter, clean out the bowl on the carburetor and change the oil first. Then I'll run it for a little while to see if that helps things out.

I did get a chance to see if it moves, and it went forward and back great. So that's good.

Next up is to remove the fenders and get all the gunk cleaned out. I am hoping there is so much from the hydraulic line they replaced, and not the engine.

What does everyone use on the screws on the foot rests? I was able to get a few loose using a big flat head screw driver, but a few wouldn't budge. Gonna spray them with some penetrating oil, but I obviously need a bigger screw driver. Is there some sort of ratchet attachment that will help?

Thanks everyone for all the advice. I'm eager to get this think back in good working condition so I can have a back up in case I hit anymore tree stumps with the 1200

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.
