Thanks guys.

This wasn't at actual idle. It idles slower than that no problem.

The noise goes away at higher RPMs.

Y'all have given me great places to check for loose bolts, nuts etc. Thanks. On a 45 YO machine it's a surprise to think that something might be worn and/or loose.

That is also my opinion.

One thing about it, these ole Cubs like to rattle! My 1200 is always rattling engine tins. Side panels, tunnel cover, clutch you name it! Lol I've tried loc-tite on muffler tin bolts drilling and tapping for more bolts and they still rattle. About ready to go with solid mounts!

Figured out the noise.

it's the muffler.

I put a long wooden dowel (ok a hoe handle) on the end where the elbow connects while it was running making the noise, and it went away. Remove the dowel, and it makes the noise again.

Stupid little things are great aren't they?

I've heard three wheelers make similar noises. It was just valves ticks. But those are over head cam engines. These are flatheads. So I really don't know.

Hope you figure it out.

Flat heads make valve noise just like that. But he already said that it was the muffler.

I see. Strange noise for a muffler to make lol. I guess I didn't read in depth enough.

Well depends on how the muffler is made, like what kind of baffles are in it.

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.
