Well, I was fairly certain it seemed to be electrical, but I checked the flow of gas to the carb...good. I decided to pull the carb (because the last time I tried to run it I had to choke it to keep it going), and gave it a fairly thorough cleaning. It fired right up and ran nice...no need to choke it. I drove it around the yard for about 10 minutes with no problem, so that at least is a good sign. I cut my grass with the 1250 yesterday, so I can't test it cutting, but maybe I'll work it later next week. Hopefully that was the problem, because it fired right up and ran nice after a cleaning. Thanks for the ideas guys. Jason

Hope this works, because it sure is nice having hydraulics. Just as an aside, I'm thinking of selling my 1250. Anyone seen any reason for me to switch out the automatic relief valves in my 1250 for the manual ones in my 149. I kind of like the idea of having automatic valves. Plus, the part that is supposed to press down on my manual valves in the 149 isn't there. Thanks, Jason

Jason, if you like the auto relief valves, swap them. The autos are a direct replacement for the manual ones. In fact, you can't buy new manual ones from cub cadet anymore. if you go to buy a new one, you will get the autos. It'll cost you a small fortune, but that's what you will get. You can always look on ebay or talk to one of the used parts guys about purchasing a tunnel cover for the 1250 that has the manual relief valve flapper in it. The early style QL's came with manual type valves, so those tunnel covers are out there.
As far as the gas/ethanol topic goes, I don't believe it's the ethanol in the gas that's causing all the problems. I think it has to be in the additives. I'm turning 36 in a few months so I guess you could say I've been driving for 20 years and I remember a sticker on all the gas pumps around my area that said "This Fuel Contains 10% Ethanol" from before I got my drivers license. I can't figure out why everyone thinks the ethanol was just added within the last couple of years. It's been in the fuel in Indiana for over 20 years and counting. It was my understanding that the ethanol was added to absorb the condensation that naturally occurs when storing gasoline so that when you filled your car up, you didn't get a tank full of water. The water loaded ethanol could then be burned in the engine and shot out the exhaust pipe. I remember when water in the fuel was a big problem back in the 70's but after they started adding ethanol, that problem has almost disappeared. There is absolutely no way to store and transfer gasoline to the gas station without getting some sort of condensation getting in it. It's impossible. There has to be something added to the gas to absorb the water. just my two cents. AJ

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.
