1250 Question
Hi folks, first post here. Just picked up a 1250. 2 questions.it seems that my choke lever backs out on its own when I am riding. Is there anything I can do? Last but not least. Even when I keep pushing the choke back in, the tractor runs for a few minutes and gradually dies and ends with a loud bang. It does sputter a bit the whole time . The weird thing is that it starts right up again and the problem repeats itself. Help!
I should also mention, I drained the gas and cleaned the carb bowl.

I'm thinking you have a worn out carb. Too much play to keep the choke where you want it. Being worn out is causing the sputter and loading up.
 Let's see what the rest think. Here's a link that might help with carb rebuilding.http://mgonitzke.net16.net/tools/carb_rebuild.pdf

Along with what bllwnkl suggested, do you have a good flow of fuel coming from the tank to the Carb.?
Another thought.. I have worked on 2 different engines that had condensers that were bad and acted just like what you are describing. I was chasing fuel and carburetor problems and was getting no where. They would keep starting up and then just nose over and die with a bang. Just my

I had a 1250 that did the same thing. Where the choke linkage is attached to the flywheel shroud there is a bolt that can be adjust to correct the problem.

The backing out of the choke may also be caused by bad motor mounts. Check the iso mounts under the engine to see if the rubber is damaged or missing. Bad mounts will cause excessive vibrations pushing the choke back.

Thanks much for the replies! I'll post a follow up as soon as I get time to work on the 1250.

Had the same problem - believe it was related to vibration. The pivot mount has wave washers and a step center spacer not sure this design is meant to have adjustment. Solved problem with small spring hooked in timing sight hole and end of choke arm. Tried new cable and multiple adjustments

   Bad problem!!BUT, I think if I had that problem, with the choke in the open position (air cleaner off to make sure!!), I would put a slight "kink" in the cable assembly half way between the carb and the handle. The kink would be a "home location" the cable would want to go to!!

The guy I bought my 1250 from has an extra rebuilt carb that he will be dropping off in a couple days. In the mean time I have cleaned out the fuel tank, replaced the fuel line and the spark plug. I also noticed that a few of the elec connections were a little loose. The other day I read in another forum about the dreaded "loose muffler" issue which I am told can cause valve problems. My muffler is loose and I plan to dig into that later.

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.
