Well I filled the old smoker up with some fuel, checked all the things to check before starting, and rolled out of the shop and mowed the yard. WOW! I'm in heaven. Pure enjoyment. At "full throttle", for you william, LOL, I am amazed at the power this thing has. I can see now why everyone wants a diesel. It actually felt like too much to be mowing with running those RPM's up like that. The only thing I did notice was that the front screen on the radiator did get pretty clogged up and the temps crept just above the last line before getting to the "H". It didn't get any higher. Starting out mowing for the first hour it would pretty much stay right at the middle line or 12 o'clock position. The air hose at the end of the day cleaned it up real good. I may have to do half the yard and then do a screen cleaning then finish the rest of the yard. It is bad dusty and dry here right now. I would say normal type of grass should pose no problems.

Glad you enjoyed your first mowing. Yeah if that screen gets clogged it'll kind of suffocate the engine area. It's amazing how some blocked air can affect the temps like that.

DWayne you need your own pit crew NASCAR style!

Disclaimer I live in the heart of NASCAR country so I'm a bit one sided on the type of racing I watch.

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.
