They usually have plastic fuel tanks that are 2 pieces (top & bottom) joined together.
Mine developed a hairline split at the seam producing a barely noticeable leak.
I tried all kinds of sealants to stop it from leaking, nothing seems to want to adhere to that plastic for very long, then it starts leaking again.
Now I just put enough gas in to do the job and run it dry.

Smart idea
They don't get used that much anyway,(At-least not by me).

Seal-All is the only thing I have found that will last a few years on gas leaks.
It does better on a rough surface though.

Found out it was leaking out the drain on the carb bowl. And I found traces of gas around the air cleaner gasket. I replaced both the bowl gasket and drain gasket, as well as the gasket on the air cleaner and intake side. Cleaned the carb as well since I had it apart. Fired it up and it did drip a bit around the bowl drain at first but it stopped dripping after a few mins of runtime.

It still shuts off after spraying for a few mins though, but it will crank right back up again. Not sure if it's some kind of back pressure build up or something else...

I guess I may just hafta replace the carb on it since it started dripping out the bowl drain again, even though I replaced that gasket. The needle must not be sealing all the way causing gas to overfill the bowl.

At least after this all of my equipment will have new carbs lol

I couldn't find a cheap china carb for this model (like I did for my generator and walk-behind trimmer) and I really don't wanna pay $50 for the OEM one. So I got an OEM kit and rebuilt it. I replaced everything except the welch plugs.

I can see it shooting gas into the carb throat when I prime it, but it won't run for more than a second. It's like it's burning off the gas from the primer and not sucking more through.

And then the pull cord snapped so I can't work on it anymore until I replace that. I'm about done with this thing

sounds like the float is not set correctly. Or float is faulty "has crack or hole in it keeping it down allowing fuel to flow"

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.
