Well. That says cub cadet , not mtd. Cub cadet nor mtd build engines that im aware. Like i said in previous post. Could be private label but tgen the question is whos engine is it really??

[cooperino]

Says here Walbro teamed up with MTD to build that engine. That makes some sense., Walbro knows fuel management...
But who built the actual engine? I think if you research it you will find a China company called Powermore

FYI. This was released by MTD in 2017
Will be interesting to see if these engines are any good and more importantly if they support parts and tech help

It's an MTD motor, fuel-injected. It works great now. A co-worker who is kind of a lawnmower expert suggested I start running gas in it that had been mixed with Sta-Bil. I was surprised, but that actually fixed it. It always fires right up now, even after sitting all winter. P.S. The original problem did NOT involve gas sitting in it all winter. Thanks everyone for your help.

Pretty sure they brand some but never seen one in a cub.

XT2 should be a Kohler, Kawasaki might have been an option

They bought a corp in China that's been making their snowblower and tiller engines for years. XT1 42" has had a MTD motor for 2 or 3 years now.

I have full faith, trust, and admiration for my Kohlers.
