Cub cadet 982 carb problems

[SamsFarm]

My neighbor has a Cub Cadet 982.

Something is not right and he says the Carb will fill the crank case with gas.

1) Anyone have a clue as to what is going on? (Bad needle and seat maybe?)

2) Does anyone have a supplier for carb parts for this thing?

You could try McDonald Carb & Ignition.

Here is the numbers on his carburetor!

I’ve got a cub cadet tiller that will do the same thing. It always seems to be either the float or the needle sticking on mine. A good cleaning usually resolves the issue for a while and then the process repeats itself. No rhyme or reason to when or how often it may happen

Neighbor found a carb kit for his Nikki carburator, and got his tractor back in action.

Said the needle was bad!
