I had exactly the same symptoms with a 1641 Cub Cadet, it had a clear 
see through fuel filter, and you could see the rust colored 
contaminant it the filter media, even thought the gas can was 
plastic. I changed the filter (1.99) and the problem went away. The 
filter screen in the nozzle of the gas can was plugged with the same 
reddish deposits, I seem to recall that it didn't come off easily.

Danny,
I have the same mower and it is really great. I did have a similar 
problem to yours.
The mower suddenly just stopped running. I found a clogged fuel line, 
replaced the
entire line from back to front and no more problems. I did trace it 
back to a fuel
can that had something in it that looked like rust, but it was a 
plastic can?
Anyway, it solidified in the fuel line and plugged it completely.

Good luck,
Phil
