Yes I did. I think I'm going to replace points and condendor for now, then after I get it back on its feet put the Kirk points saver and their twin coil on. Might make her run better

Change the plug wires. A cheap and easy fix.
I have 16 kt17s and I have found bad plug wires in a couple of them.

I don't think it's necessary. Big "maybe" for the extra $$$.

Starter locked up? Or engine won't turn? You don't have a cylinder full of gas do you? KT's are fine. Fix it. Buying another engine if this one just needs repaired is silly. Now, if it ends up it's bad, that's different.

the starter itself is locked up. just seems like one problem after another. this engine does have 1778 hours on it. i imagine shes getting weak. my only concern is, when i parked it a while back, i didn't know it had broken the diaphram in the fuel pump and filled the crankcase full of fuel. my brother used the tractor for about 25 minutes the day after and im wondering if running it with the gas in the oil for that long it damaged some internal parts. i just now found out he ran it.

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.
