What's wrong with it? What are you trying to do that it won't?

Nothing is wrong with her what so ever - runs great but a few extra ponies never hurt anyone - especially during snow blowing season

Before you play with it..... Are you sure it is running 3600? Does it have the #30 carb? Which head does it have?

Not sure to be honest - the garden tractor hobby is new to me and I'm not sure of all the different parts. If you tell me what to look for I can report back in another day. What I can tell you is that the head was recently decarboned by the dealer, new starter/ gen, new wiring harness, plug and wire, fluids changed and greased. The dealer handles all the service minus grease and oil changes.

So, are you able to do any mods yourself? Or would you be taking it to the dealer and having them do what I would tell you?

A 301 should come equipped with a #26 carb.

I am very mechanically inclined but time is a big issue which is why the dealer does most of it but I do have tools and I know how to use em

I guess the bottom line is you want more ponies put in a bigger engine.

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.
