Resurrecting sleeping 1450 and 1250 questions
Finally got a chance to work on a couple quietlines I pulled from my outside collection in Stephentown..
Remind me how the fuel shutoff on the plastic tanks works.. It appears to be a push pull but I can only get it to spin.....black plastic knob, about 1/2 inch of metal shaft behind it, held in the tank by a rubber grommet.. At the moment I believe it is the cause of a no fuel condition.. I did get a dribble of fuel to go thru it but don't know why it even did that..... Also.. any tricks to freeing up the stock choke cable?? I can't get mine to move in and out at all.. hosed it down with PB blaster but so far no good.. I actually got the 1450 puller to move on its own today.. sure was nice to see the old beast motivate under its own noisy power after all this time.. but fuel is not getting to the carb well yet..so I expect it to run better soon...it runs pretty good on carb cleaner.. Thanks!

i usually take the choke cable off and hang it up from the motor end so the pb goes the whole length of the cable, any time ive had one stuck ive never had any luck getting it to move on the tractor.

Olds has the right idea about freeing up a stuck cable.
I shoot some PBBlaster down the choke cable each spring, work it several times, then follow that with some silicone lube.

Why does everyone always try to get a stuck choke cable to free up? They are like $10 at any parts store and look just like the original. Just buy a new one.

So is the fuel shutoff on a 1450/1250 a twist or a push pull thing??
I'll pull the cable tomorrow and see if the things mentioned will get it working or replace it.

because its cheaper to buy 3 cans of PB blaster and empty them on a frozen cable. why don't you know that?

I have unstuck every choke cable I have in less than 5 minutes and most were siezed. I spray PB in both ends and then put a bunch on a rag and wipe up and down as much of the cable as you can get to, flexing it back and forth but not too much, the pb will make it's way into the coils of the cable. I always just pull a little and then push, once it starts to move don't try to move it all the way but progressively more and more. Choke cables are cheap but sometimes the lock nuts on them are hard to get to on some models and I at least try to free it up first, doesn't hurt.

If I can just spend 5 - 10 minutes on it right at that time and get it working, then its something that can be checked off and I can move onto the next thing (serial thinker, I struggle with too many things in parallel)

The later quietlines had a quarter turn fuel shut off lever I believe mine is 79 and that's what's on it.

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.
