It's a round hole in the flywheel housing. It may be on the side, or facing the front of the motor, depending on which type you have. The book that you were supposed to download shows it.

Napa can get gaskets I think. I don't know their numbers. I know O'Reilly's does.

You need to stop mowing with it until you get the problem fixed. If it is running lean like I suspect it is, then your going to blow it up. It will seize the piston. Did you try setting it richer? Why did it die? Did you check spark after it died?

You sure it wasn't coming from the crankcase vent on the side of the motor? It's right between the exhaust and the carb.

on your carb there should be 2 needles, turn the one pointing up out a 1/4 turn and see if it improves. as j mech said if its running lean and you continue to run it then it will seize

smoke from that vent is considered normal to a worn out motor. turn the hi speed adjusting screw out.

Shut the deck off to adjust. You adjust the main at WOT.

Ok, so it wouldn't crank after it died. Is that the reason it won't start? How's the battery? Connections?

Ok, before we go much further, we need to know if the governor is adjusted correctly. And the carb. You have got to go through the tune/adjustment procedure for both the governor and the carb. We have to stop jumping around. As long as the motor will crank, this is the next step. If it won't, well, you have to fix that first.

OK, I have to ask. How did you set the timing?

yep, leaving the deck on is a good way to lose toes, feet, fingers, hands and private parts

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.
