I did however find her first real issue. Nothing terrible, but the carburetor is leaking at the bowl gasket. Is this as simple as buying the bowl gasket kit or is the float causing the issue?

The good news is if I shut off the fuel and the the carb dry, she doesn't leak. So I do have a work around.

My experienced has been that if you try t0o replace the bowl gasket while the carb is on the engine, you almost have to be Houdini to get everything back together.
It's may be just me, but buy a carb kit, take the carb off and do it right and do it easy.

A gentleman on another forum suggested doing it with the carb on the tractor, but using a dab of grease to hold the gaskets in place.

It looks like it's two gaskets in the bowl. The thin o ring and the other weird gasket that kind of hangs outside the bowl... See attached pic.

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.
