Default Parts Cleaner
I use Mineral Spirits in my parts washer. Is it just me, or does this solvent turn rancid after awhile? Sure seems to change the smell or oder from fresh out of the pail to being in the parts washer for awhile.....pew!!!!!

I use undied kerosene in mine and it seems to last and work fairly well. Kind of stinks but I make sure to use nitrile gloves when using it.

I use mineral spirits in mine. I don't get a bad smell. Maybe it didn't mix well with something you cleaned? Ill also note, I use mine daily. That may also be the difference

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.
