Eslenk, good to hear you your problem fixed. My Dad has the same 2084 and his wasn't running right and hot but his was due to the ing coil getting weak and we have changed them and works good now. His has over 1200 hours but we just keep up on the maintenance.

I own the tractor that Eric posted about above. I in the past year have replaced both ignition modules. If you park your tractor in a shed where even the remote possibility of mice is present be very sure that one has not built a nest on top inside the shroud. It can be a bit hard to check but a mirror will allow you to see up in there. I had mouse problems last year and those little chisel toothed buggers had the wires all chewed up there. Just a couple of weeks ago I had to replace the second module and also replaced both spark plugs too. I used mine to vac leaves and it seemed to work fine. Mine has always been a bit hard to start if shut off after use and sits for more than a few minutes. If your engine starts to run rough and one cylinder misses and then comes back, suspect the module. Changing the module requires a bit of tear down behind the engine but is not so hard to accomplish. Set my flywheel clearance at 9 thousandths. Keeping the engine fins clean also helps with heat problems. It is amazing how much crud collects on them. Also be sure the screen around the drive shaft at the rear of the engine is kept clean also as that is the air supply. Another situation with these tractors is be sure to have it running at half throttle or better when you shut it off. Shutting it off at low speed or idle can cause it to blow a head gasket. But then you already knew all that.

Glad you got it worked out. Mice are killers, they did 315 bucks of damage to my wifes car once. 15 was parts, the rest was repairing vacume lines and wiring harness.

I did a Kawasaki the other day that a mouse got up into the eng tin, made a nest and when Mark was mowing it over heated and pulled the seat out of the intake valve. I punched in the seat recut it, lapped, and away we go.

I have a few extra cats around the house, I think I can stuff one in a flate rate box and send one to ANYONE to cut down on the mouse problem!

We are so over run with mice here in Rensselaer county. I have gone through tens of pounds poison; several formulas, past two years. Not only do you worry about CHEWING but there urine is EXTREMELY caustic, not to mention EHOOEY and can cause Hantavirius!!! I had an 1872 over heating and causing vapor lock. the heat evaporated the gas in the bowl, and was hard to restart all due to mice, as stated nests are hard to see up under the tins.

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.
