Acicel and cubcrazy, Thanks guys! I love this tractor. It has served me well for over 4 years. When the motor blew I was on my way for a new motor within a few days disspite everyone telling me to get a new one. Those new tractors cannot compare to the quality of the past.

dieselman81, you've come to the best darn source of information on the best darn little tractors ever built, glad to have you along for the ride.
Just be careful around here. Seems like everyone that stops in ends up getting an incurable yellow fever, it's inevitable that you will be adding more tractors. And by the way, WE LIKE PICTURES

thanks zippy1. I'll get some pictures up soon.

Priority right now is getting her going smooth.

So I did the static timing and it was off. Now its dead nuts on. It will run pretty smooth at idle but as soon as you get close to half throttle or higher it spits and sputters and then catches for a few seconds then spits and sputters again until you get close to idle then runs smooth again. I turned the adjusting screws on the carb six ways from sunday back to specs and again. Still runs rich at higher idle. This was with 3 different plugs each time adjusting and adjusting and so on. Only runs smooth at idle and a little above then goes to hell.

Have a timing light? I've had better luck with the timing light versus static timing.

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.
