Chief 83 said: (quoted from post at 21:00:13 02/06/09) Well even though I knew better I bought a tractor that was "running when parked". Everything looked good, pulled the dipstick seemed like nothing but oil. I finally had a few minutes and thought I'd dump the oil before trying to start it. The first thing out the drain was some really geen liquid! Bad news. It looks though that the antifreeze was of high concentrate and should not have allowed the thing to freeze. It's not that cold around here. So I hope to be lucky and find a bad head gasket. Are there any other "easy" fixes? No external leaks or cracks that I can see.
Probably it is just a bad head gasket. Been there done that more times than I care to remember. Cracked heads do happen yes but more than likely it is the gasket. Check the GSS-1411 Service Manual or GSS-1007 Engine Service Manuals under Blue Ribbon Service Manuals on the Cub Manual Server. Hope that helps.
You really should have the 3 basic manuals.. Owner's, GSS-1411 and the TC-37 series Parts Catalog... No Cub should be without them :-)

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
