105 Bogs down after long usage
I've been using my 105 to mow my lawn for a couple months now. After I've been mowing for about 1.5 hours, the engine seems like it starts to bog down.
I 'll be driving along slowly, then all of the sudden the engine sounds like it is under heavy load and the tractor slows down. It did this enough once to where the rear tires briefly locked up. I thought the mower deck may just be clogged, but when I disengaged the PTO and the same thing happens. I do think it gets very hot when this is happening, the hood is almost too hot to touch over the engine. Could this be over heating? Cooling fins and everything around the motor looks pretty clear. |

Generally if it's an electrical problem the tractor will shut off completely so I'm leaning towards a fuel issue or possibly a sticky valve. If it's running hot it's either lean or the blower housing is full of mouse nest or possibly both. If it's been getting that hot I would bet the head gasket is also blown.
Some might disagree but if it were mine I would remove the head and resurface it, while the head is off you will be able to inspect the valves and remove/clean them if necessary. While the head is off you will also be able to confirm the blower housing is free of any mouse nest. I would also confirm good fuel flow from the line and clean the carb. Here's a link to a video on resurfacing the head and another one on valve adjustment. https://youtu.be/L1jFtTzLh7o https://youtu.be/VrVmag-layM

Is the tractor hard to start when warm? How does the plug look?

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.
