that should have an ACR. since it has an ACR you won't get an accurate reading unless disconnect it. Kohler recommends checking crankcase pressure. what do you have?

I just wrestled with what I thought was a compression problem on a 12 hp. I also only had 30# compression. These guys on the forum correctly pointed out that the ACR would result in an inaccurate compression test. So your 30# may be OK.

Are you having problems with the engine or just inquiring about how much compression you should have?

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.
