Thanks for the info. I read up on the compression release (new to me) and managed to track down my feeler gauges. The intake valve is set to .009" clearance and the exhaust is set to .019", both within spec.
As soon as I can get to it, I'll pull the engine shrouds and check the head bolt torque.

Have you tried starting it with some starting fluid? Just a thought before you pull the head..might reveal a fuel issue... and double check the spark is good.

I'm still betting it's NOT the valves...Beginning to feel better about my bet now...

If not a valve problem, how is the gas spray getting back into the intake? Personally, I would be a bit hesitant to personally bad mouth the seller 'till I knew exactly what the problem actually is. Sh_t sometimes happens.

Engine has a compression release. Not simple to do a compression test. Easier to pull the head and look.

Just for S and giggles i just tested the compression on one of my 1650's.
30# after 3 hits on the gauge, wide open throttle. The tractor has been sitting for about a weak and it's about 60* in the shop.
This tractor will lite right off any time.
For what it's worth

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.
