Sorry I havent checked here in a couple days. It seems like it has been slowly loosing power. It doesn't smoke, burns a little oil, but not excessive. It's not just the mower deck that affects it. Just running it at full throttle & pushing up on the lever to make it move makes it bog down (governor doesnt seem to kick in to give more power).

If it does it just by moving you have other issues. It could be as simple as fuel problem. Dirty filter or clogged line. I would go through the fuel system completely first.

Sometimes it's a simple thing that reduces power. On my 125, it was as simple as tightening a clamp on the carb. ( sorry but your carb has a different assembly. They upgraded this older version )

Hmmm, probably last summer. My couple acres has alot of bare spots this year & therefore kicks up alot of dust when mowing. So this very well could be the culprit. Picking up new one today.

If it's dry, grease it up so it's wetter than a Taco Bell fart...

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.
