Ronald, basically a later model 782 with dual hydraulics and an 18hp twin cylinder magneto ignition engine. Very solid reliable machines.

That said, it is made by MTD and belongs on the MTD Forum here: https://www.ihcubcadet.com/forum/messages/22774/22774.html?1453613108

Ed,

Timing, spark plug, carb tune, good S/G, good battery.........

1/2 throttle, full choke.....

I was just reading past post they say the same thing. Carbs were just cleaned new plugs and batteries. I can check the grounds. Has anyone had luck with the block heaters?
Thanks

10w30 will help with starting rather than straight 30 weight in the winter. And 91 non ox fuel will help

A magnetic heater on the underside of the rear end will work wonders!

You bet it will.

Jeff, I can't seem to find any photos of Cub Cadets with front mounted fenders in my archives.

Ed C. also check the ignition coil output, a cold engine require higher voltage than a warm engine. Also retorque the head as you might have a small compression leak which will cause hard start cold.

Kraig I looked in my pics and the archive and did not see it, I did find this pic but it's not the one I remember, maybe it was one of Charlies "every cub has its beauty" pics
