Default still have 1250 trouble
Well I had it running , but like I said it wasn't pretty. It would really start hard, turn over fast and catch every now and again. Once it starts the whole tractor would shake a bunch and smoke out the breather and muffler.
So today I rebuilt the carb. it wasn't in good condition at all. Cleaned the breather and replaced the old gaskets, and while I had it off checked the valves and adjusted. Checked the points, they were fine.
Went to start it, same thing.
Seems like it wants to start right up, but it won't. Crank it and crank it and it will like sputter, then nothing. Try again and it light up but runs rough again.
Any ideas? I'm thinking this one saw a rough life by the way it's going.

No Bill I don't. But now early this morning before I left I tried starting it, nothing, it just putters. I'm confused! (But we knew that, didn't we)

Nope, I'm sure I put them back in the same order, and the same as the other tractor sitting next to it I used as a refrence. Now you got me re-thinking myself I'll check when I get back home.

Well I'm man enough to admit I'm sometimes not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I had the power wire and points wire on backwards.
Put them the way their supposed to be, and it fired up Can anyone say dumb...?
Live and learn I guess. It smokes blue real bad, so I'm thinking theres a whole lot more wrong than just two wires on backwards. But I sure do appreciate all the help. Thanks

Donovan with the score!

Imagine how long it would've taken to figure that one out without having access to this forum. What a great resource.

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.
