    Blown Engine

    I does take much longer than a quick flip. I am probably looking at 2 – 3 years based on past experiences. It is more labor intensive (take it apart, clean the part, list the part for sale, ship the part or sell big items locally). Note I have been doing this type of work for 10+ years. The...

    Blown Engine

    Based on how you describe your activity, I would get a different tractor that was more “Garden - GT” tractor vs “Lawn – LT” tractor. I think you need something with a stronger transmission and a larger engine for the type of hauling, grading, pulling you do. The Cub LT’s are not really equipped...

    Hour meter

    A good question. I did just the same for 47 hour worth on my XT1. Interesting idea about possibly leaving it until it goes back to zero again if that is in fact what it does.

    2009 Cub Cadet LTX 1040's Brake Pedal is Sticking with the Drive Pedal.

    Here is a spot to lubricate, but I doubt this is where the issue is. My guess is you have grass clippings in the back portion.

    XT1 losing power after 10 minutes

    I wonder if you have a coil failing when it warms up on one cylinder? That could explain what you are experiencing. Next time it happens. Pull the spark plug wire on each cylinder and see if when you do it nothing changes. If nothing changes, that is the cylinder/coil that has issues.

    cub cadet model #13AVA1CS009 runs fine for about 10 min, then starts running rough and cuts off. New carb installed. 18HP twin cam . sputtering and

    When you start it back up, does it run fine for another 20 minutes? Could a coil be going bad and it goes down to one cylinder after it heats up after 20 minutes?

    LTX 1045 Cranks but no start

    I doubt this is it, but I didn't read where you replaced the spark plug. I had a plug on a tractor years ago that the spark was more like a flash (only way to describe it). Mower would not start or pop. I replaced with a new plug, started right up. Again, I doubt this is it, but worth a try...

    Starting Issues on Kohler 20hp on cub cadet ltx 1045

    I have CC LTX-1045 with a similar problems as you. I removed the solenoid from the back (under the frame to the left of the battery) and cleaned all the contacts/wires. I noted that the large wires going to it were not that tight on it. That solved my issue.

    Lt 1045 PTO ISSUES

    I would confirm your battery is good. The PTO needs a full charge to have it hold correctly.

    Hydrostatic pedals sticking

    See the diagram below. This is from my LTX1045. I bet this might be it.

    LTX 1045 Voltage Display - Low?

    I have found some additional information to help answer my original question. My battery now tests at about 12.7V according to my multimeter. The display reads about 11.7. Why the difference? Well the electronic display on the dash is using power as well as the two headlights. I unplugged...

    Cub Cadet Owner Check-In --- Read This First!

    Bought this, my first Cub tractor (LTX-1045 made in 2009) used in Jan. 2020 with about 2' snow on the ground in the mitten state. It was in great shape and only had 120 hours on it. Came complete with the double bag Cub grass catcher for it. Got it for $450. I have read mixed review but I...

    LTX 1045 Voltage Display - Low?

    My battery was low on my tractor. I put it on a charger and it appears to have come back. I measure the voltage on the battery and it is 12.6. When I put it in the tractor and turn the key on so the headlights come on and the display gives an initial reading, it reads 11.8. I have my meter...
