pull the right valve cover and see if it has both valves moving up and down . it might have had a push rod jump out of place . the bolts that hold the rocker arms down might have stripped the threads out of the head

Was able to compression test it today left side was 175 right side 155. But I don’t have the experience to determine what this test indicates.

Sounds like you have a weak coil on the right side. I had a weak coil in a 2084. Doing similar to what you are describing.

Reveals condition of your valves, valve seats, and piston rings. It sounds to me that the right side cylinder is not wearing equally to the other. I would do a leak down test.

Default leakdown test would be a whole more accurate
could be broken rings or a valve problem, leakdown test tells all

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.
