That's what is good about this forum, always something to learn!
Wonder why Kohler wanted that? I've toyed with the idea of adding an electric fuel shut off so I don't have to worry about the needle not sealing and flooding the engine while sitting. As it is now, I have easily accessible manual fuel shutoffs on 2 magnums, 1 KT, and an Onan---yes we close them every time we are done with them.

John,
I think they used them to stop run-on after killing the ignition.
Also might be for emission reasons.

From what ive gathered it was to meet emissions and such. Ive mowed some lately but not really pushed it yet. I did over load the engine trying to turn speed up amd raise the deck all at once. But what i did mow was pretty tall and thick and never hit the governor on it.

John,
It does not stop the fuel into the carb like a petcock would.
It stops the flow from the float chamber to the venturi/idle system.
So no back fire into the muffler and lowers emissions.
Many engine/vehicle manufactures did that to lower the level.
As the standards got tougher, the engine design had to change.
We even gotten to the point of fuel inj on most everything.
Ya the air is cleaner,but @ what cost??
but that is for another topic @ another time.

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.
