Hello guys. I need some advise on a problem with my Cub Cadet 782. Was using tractor with scrapper blade this morning and was hearing a squeaking noise coming from the engine. The noise is not constant but seems to be getting worse. I purchased this KT17 Series II engine last year off ebay and was told at that time the engine was only 2 years old. Another thing with this engine, when mowing with 50" deck, and mowing pretty thick and tall grass the engine seem to not have enough power as the RPM slow down when going through the grass. I tuned-up the engine but that did not fix the power problem. Any suggestions as to what might be my problem would be appreciated.
