I bought a new shut-off valve and put it in. Are these things tapered? It screwed in fine, and then I checked to see if the amount of exposed threads is about the same as the old one, which it is. So added some gas, checked for leaks, etc. All good. Gradually added more gas, checked for leaks. Hooked up the gas line, checked for flow, filled the tank, THEN noticed that some gas is showing up at the top of the threads. Darn!!! I tightened the valve just a bit more but doing so not only didn't stop the leak but also turns the gas line over too far and so starts to interfere with the throttle. Would it have been better to go around another turn yet (which takes me back to whether it is tapered inside the tank)? It seemed tight enough and as though another full turn might have been a bit too much. The old one certainly backed off without seeming real tight. Possibly some dirt got caught in the threads after removing the old one? No longer a leak down through the stem but now I have the leak between the tank and valve. So.....what? Re-drain the tank and take out the valve again? Plumber's tape? I hate leaks of any kind.
 Weird how the leak didn't show up till nearly 20 minutes later. (Figures that it would wait to start till I had all the gas back in the tank!) Did it take the additional pressure of the full tank of gas to start forcing some through wherever it's getting past the threads?

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.
