I'm about 99% sure that it is not a voltage issue. I have never seen a generator pull a motor do a dead stop form wide open throttle. You may have a charging issue, but that is not the reason your engine is dying.

Do I need to replace the valve cover gaskets as well? I've torn them slightly taking the cover off, but I wasn't sure if they need to be 100% perfect or not.

I've already ordered a head gasket and carb kit.

Well guys, I appreciate all the help, as I finally got this tractor running good. I pulled the head, cleaned the carbon, replaced the head gasket, adjusted the valve lash, and rebuilt the carb. Starts up on one crank now, and runs much cooler than before. I can mow with it, up and down hills even. And I can turn it off, and start it right back up with absolutely no issues.

Thanks again for all the help and advice. I appreciate it.

Very nice tractor. You did a good job getting it running good.
Kind of makes me want to get the 125 in the shop. It needs everything!
Regards,
Chris

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.
