Wise to use Lead Gas Additive?
Don't know if discussed before as I couldn't find info.
With todays unleaded gasoline, would it be wise to start using a lead gas additive on old stock engines that haven't been rebuilt, to help protect valve seats?

We've got a bunch of older gasoline powered farm equipment. We never add any lead substitute and to date don't have any problems. Same goes for the Cadets we have.

Look on page 1.5 of a Kohler Service manual under Fuel type heading. Kohler says to use clean fresh unleaded gasoline.
I would not run any leaded additives unless the engine needs a leaded gas. The lead additive leaves more carbon deposits than not running a lead additive. Don't have a manual???? You can download a Kohler Service manual from OCC tech section.

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.
