lead
the lead in the gas did act as a lube on the valve guides, like in the IHC regular which ran on kero originally. the valve guides needed a mod when going to unleaded.

It has a section that talks about leaded gas can be used in areas where unleaded gas is not available. Including the internet manual I have 4 sources for a Kohler Service manual. All have the same date I posted in a previous post. This is 2012.....not the 60s, 70s, or 80s. I have go by what the Kohler manuals say. Unleaded gas was available in the early 70s in my area. It cost more. Like you I ran unleaded fuel in my small engines until it became unavailable. One thing I notice is I have less valve problems with unleaded fuel. |

sticking valve
I 2nd Sam Mac. My 104 did the same thing. The fins on the exhaust side of motor were packed with grass and dirt, leading to too much heat and stuck valve. Good luck, Chris

THANKS to everyone. the Additive you recomended seems to be helping I use the mower today for about 3 hours and I was on a steep incline with heavy grass before it did it. I hope it gets even better as I keep using it.

CADplan:
Per your advice, went ahead and pulled the engine on my 1872, for the replacement of the iginition module. Went well and while opened up, cleaned and replaced a couple missing bolts as well as the fuse holder, which was causing some issues. Photo taken while "work in progress". |

I would run the 91!! I have seen many places that only sell a certain octane as no ethanol, luckily around here it is 87. We have one station that sells 87 with ethanol and 87 without ethanol. Decisions, decisions!! |

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.
