Northern Virginia Cub Cadet Mechanic
Sirs,
Is there someone in the Northern Virginia area that I could pay to rebuild my 1872's carbureator and tune up the engine? Are there any reputable shops?

The Walbro carburetor on your super is easy to rebuild. I would not worry too much about finding a reputable shop to do it, in fact, I would suggest doing it yourself if your throttle shaft is not too sloppy. That gets a little difficult. Most any shop that services small engines can rebuild a Walbro, they are pretty common carbs. And, unless they are totally inept, they should be able to do it correctly.
Why do you think it needs a rebuild and not just an adjustment?

I was told by a fellow owner that it probably was worth rebuilding.

Im not sure as to your mechanical experience but cleaning the carb is one of the simpler tasks or can be . I suggest you check out youtubes selections on small carb overhauls.
It just takes a clean bench ,good carb spray w/tube , safty glasses , patience ,good eyesite and ofcourse a little instruction. just be sure to not loose any part A funny note 15-20 years ago my mom mowed her yard , and I stopped by for lunch from work . she was upset that the mower quit half way threw mowing. So after lunch I started to take the carb apart and saw the bowl was contaminated , a lawn boy 2 cycle. Mom was early 70's and not mechanically inclined, but had watched every thing I did she was kind of mad I didn't get it running then, but I was going to be late back to work already . when I came home after work the mower was back together , she told me she put it together but she could not get it to start. I looked and it seemed to be OK ,it started fine on the first pull.

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.
