Most of the time new brgs,brushes and a good cleaning go a long way in making the starter work better. Clean up the surface where the brushes ride with some scotch brite or fine emery cloth don't remove too much material and be sure to clean the grooves out ! I generally use a hacksaw blade to scrape the grooves free of old brush material. Again don't over do it on the grooves ,when there clean they are only slightly lower than the surface the brushes ride on maybe like a 32nd deep. there's a seller on ebay goes by (s-and-d-repair) out of ohio that sells rebuild kits, brg type or sleeve type depending on what you have for about 13.00 bucks as well as some of the vendors on this site likely have also . good luck ! The other possibility of a slow cranking engine could be the ACR not working right !

oh, yeah, about half the wiring I replaced as it was in pretty crummy shape. every connection on it has either been cleaned with a dremel and wire wheel, or the connection replaced.

Looks great.

The ACR is the Automatic Compression Release. It holds the exhaust valve slightly open during startup to ease the load on the starter.

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.
