After I put oil pan and head back on engine, it started right up and ran well. Shut it off to try it again and it would not roll past compression build up. I really believe that the tab has metal fatigue and when it hit compression the second start, the tab had bent back out of position. I guess a sticky valve is possible so I will remove the head and check the valve operation. I am not sure this would show anything but I don't have tools to remove the valve. Thanks again for your help and have a great day.

Bob, I don't know your abilities but a valve can be removed/installed with 2 big screwdrivers, a daub of grease,a small pencil magnet,and some patience.
But if you don't feel comfortable, I respect that.

George, back in the late 50's and 60's I was Drag Racing at the local tracks. I ran a Chevy with a 283 engine and I tore it completely down in the fall and rebuilt the engine for years. Never blew an engine while racing. Today at 80 years of age, I am a little hesitant on doing tedious things like removing a valve. I was wondering if the exhaust valve was sticking,would there be a miss in the engine or a pop in the muffler? Once the engine starts it runs fine. Thanks for your input and have a great day.
Bob

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.
