Hey.. Good luck. Do you get the gas for your vehicles from same as you got for your equipment? Ever have an issue with them? I know its a different animal with a car but if the station has water in tanks eventually you would see some performance issues in car if you use that station a lot.

Hope it all works out for you. Around here all the stations get their gas from the same source regardless of brand. The fuel depo is 40 minutes from here and I see trucks from every brand there filling up.

If you bought BAD gas from your local station, you'll probably hear about it in the local news reporting many cars broken down. Otherwise, I just tempt to agree you got yourself E85. Hope the new gas works out.

My Fords rarely get run over 2000-2200 RPM but the 126 will run high RPM most times that I use it. Just curious if anyone has experienced problems with valves and seat from running unleaded. Thanks
No lead additive needed in any of those engines.

Ah.. Thanks for putting my mind at ease. We run into some issues with gas tugs. Some airports only have AVGAS 100LL available on ramp. Many engines end up having issues over time with that. Get guys asking me all the time to get them some for their hot rods but I tell them to get the CAM2 fuel instead. The AVGAS has Tetra-ethyl-lead added to it.. I don't know what adverse effect it might have but I would rather not find out after giving some to a buddy LOL

Nah. I live out in the country and I have a "burn pile", where I burn yard waste, leaves, tree limbs, etc. That gas was/will be a good "pile starter"....

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.
