And again guys chime in that they have no trouble finding real gas....if you do not live in a high population density part of the country it is available...if you are in or near a large population area...it is simply not legal to sell it |

Take a look at this https://www.epa.gov/gasoline-standar...lated-gasoline
that is the EPA website....if you notice, Hemmings cites California as "no position" (just using this one because it demonstrated it the best) ...the EPA document (from which the laws are based) cites differently.....that is just one example......it's availability is predicated on more local government than the State level...for instance upstate NY has a lot of stations at which it is available...but in the NY metropolitan area (New York, Kings, Queens, Bronx, Richmond, Nassau, Westchester, Suffolk counties) local laws prohibit it...so....here in NY ...yes it is available...the closest station is over 100 miles from me |

Straight 10 weight???? You need to spend a little time reading a Kohler service manual. Page 1.4 talks about what oil to use for what temp. While you are reading your Kohler service manual read page 1.5. It deals what fuel you can run in your Kohler engine. The manual says it is ok to run gas with 10% or less ethanol. I've ran some of what you call "real gas". My 149 didn't not have get up and go like it did on E10 gas plus I had to pay more. Talk to station manager and he says the bulk tank for the non ethanol gas doesn't get fill as often as the ethanol gas gets filled. Small engines need fresh gas. I've been running E10 gas with no fuel related issue(s) for 15 plus years. Biggest problem I see is cause by poor fuel storage-handling habits.

Merk...take a look at post #20...that is a copy of the page from the original 129 manual...i could not make it any larger and still post it, so it is a little difficult to read ...but if you use a magnifying glass you will see ...it does call for 10 at temps below 32*...I think it sounds too thin also...but that is what the manual specifically calls for...in any event the pan heater is supposed to arrive today...and it has not been so cold...Also this engine is from 1973...manual says to use minimum of 91 (unleaded) octane, but since gas with ethanol was not really even available then it is not mentioned

My 149 Is my main show pusher. It doesn't need heating pad on trans. I run Kohler 10W-30 in the winter months. Ethanol has been around for a long time. It was call bio gas back in the 80s. The moonshiners called it shine or locally where I live it was called corn squeezins. I've been working on Kohlers for 50 plus years. I learned a few things over the years.

I do see the discrepancy that you point out...but I think IH sold a lot of them with that recommendation...I would never use the straight 10 ...no matter how cold it gets..

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.
