I got the manual you sent me. Thank you for that it will come in handy. As for the parts I called my nearest ag dealer and got them on order. No more than 3 hours later the guy called me back and he said that he had the parts there the whole time. So tonight I'm going to work on that and hopefully get it running good again. One question I have is there a float adjustment on the command carb. I didn't see anything on that.

Been a while since I've done one of those, but I believe they have a plastic float. So, no adjusting them. Hang the float and flip it over. If it hangs level, your good. If it goes too high, then get a new float.

Well I got the carb kit in, removed the fuel tank and cleaned out, put new bushings in and cleaned the shuttoffs. I also put new line in all around. It definitely runs way better but seems like it is kind of laboring. I'm still not sure about the screw on the backside (rear) of carb behind shutoff solenoid. I've turned it out from closed to 1 to 2 1/2 turns out. Is there something I'm missing. Any advise please.

I still haven't got it right. I've tried everything I can think of. Its starts up and idles good then it all of a sudden stumbles. If I pole the choke out a pinch while it stumbles it straightens out but if I leave it out its almost like it gets to rich then I have to push the choke back in. After that it seems to stumble again after a few seconds. It just seems erratic and not right. Is it possible to get that transfer tube backwards (the tube that goes from upper to lower housing) The service manual shows its position different than the parts diagrams show.

Do you have a vacuum leak?

You could have something wrong with your assembly, but I would think the issue would be more consistent. I also wonder if you don't have a weak coil. If you take the carb apart again, post some pics. Otherwise take a video of it running and post it to a hosting site (Youtube or equivalent) and lets hear how this thing runs.

Looks to me like one side is rich, the other lean. I'd be looking for a vacuum leak.

Where would the leak be coming from. I did a compression test and came up with about 160 on the starter side and that's where the rich plug came from and 170 on the other.

A vacuum leak would be between the throttle plate and the intake valve. Wouldn't affect compression, so that is no way to test for a vacuum leak. Check the manifold for cracks, gaskets for leaks, carb for leaks..... you'll have to look.

Hi, i think you might have a bad head gasket. Mine ran just like yours and the plugs looked the same. It was on the right side, setting on the tractor. After seeing the bad one i changed them both. Replaned the heads flat. Mike

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.
