WEll I continued soaking the pin on the left but ir still only comes up just a hair. If I push it back down it stays down until I start the tractor. Then it moves up just a hairn not enough to get some pliers on it or anything. Can this be unscrewed and cleaned up or what? I went ahead and started it up and drove it around the yard yesterday for about 10 minutes hoping it would work it up. But it did nothing. The motor sure smokes like a freight train.

ok I unscrewed the left valve and got the button unstuck. Now the forward and the reverse works. It is very very quick in forward and kinda slow in reverse. is there an adjustment for this??


I then decided to take the head off this motor to check the rings. the motor smokes really bad. here is a couple pics of what I found. is there suppose to be side to side movement in the piston? I made a small video of it moving but couldnt figure out how to load it.

Judging by the amount of oil on top of the piston and the gap between the piston and bore, I'd say that engine is pretty worn out and is going to need a rebuild.

You need to take the engine apart and measure the crank and bore per the manual to determine if you need an overbore.

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.
