Yes, the fuel filter is new. The problem is, when it shuts down, I'm usually down over the hill, or a few blocks down the street at a rental property, and the window for it going back to where it will start is about 5 minutes in hot weather, and about 2 to 3 in cold weather.
I don't have a lot of tools either, such as a compression tester, but my friend down the street may, so we're going to get back on it starting tomorrow. I really thought the valve job last fall fixed it, but hadn't really ran the tractor enough to get it hot, until we got the snow over the last couple of weeks. My mechanic had said that the valves did need the clean / re-seat job, but were in great shape otherwise. I'm hoping to have a spare tractor soon, one for the mower deck & one for the snow blade. It's rough when one is broke down. JT

I wouldn't worry with compression testing. Next time it dies you need to do what Don said check for spark and fuel flow. Clean your ignition connections. I bet it's a bad coil, I ve had them go bad like that when they weren't very old.

Yes, the symptoms of a bad coil ... but, the new one I put on would have to have been bad from the start, because it kept shutting down on the same time schedule even after replacing the coil.
 Like you guys said, I'll have to check it for spark the next time I can get it to croak ... and maybe my mechanic friend has a known good spare coil at his shop that I can try, before I spring more $$ for another new coil. JT

That's why you check for spark nextime time it dies. Take a good look at your spark plug too.

Make sure your using the correct coil. A GM coil IS NOT the same thing. I'm with Don on checking to see what's going on. Throwing parts at it isn't helpful to you, or us in diagnostic world. Just because they are new, doesn't mean they aren't bad. I've seen plenty of bad parts right out of the box.

Well the correct coil for the Kohler engine was ordered and used when I replaced the coil last summer, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be faulty.
I'm wondering if an old spark plug wire could break down and fail on a predictable time schedule the way my tractor is doing? JT

I read this over twice and didn't see the answer. How does it sound when you crank it right after it dies? Does it sound like it would any other time? Does sound like a hanging valve. Was the mechanic an engine rebuilder?

I've tried swapping out the condenser. Didn't help.
If I crank it right after it shuts down, it just sounds normal, as if it were out of gas, or had the plug wire off, etc. Yes, my mechanic is a machinist who has had a tractor shop in his garage at home for over 30 years, has an Original that he restored to like new cond. He has a pretty good reputation locally, goes to tractor shows, and works on lots of tractors. What about that solid state regulator that someone mentioned above. Does anyone know how it acts when it's going bad? JT

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.
