Thanks to all who assisted. I appreciate it. And I'm sorry for misstating the model as XT725. I conflated the Cub Cadet model XT1 with the Kohler KT725. It's not as difficult to do as you may think.

I'm about to change the fuel filter on my Cub Cadet mower with a Kohler XT 725 engine. I'm finding fuel filters with micron ratings from 15 to 75. What micron rating should I look for?

We have 20 linear feet along our driveway that slopes away 2:1 or a little steeper. The total area is approx. 180 square feet. We were able to grow grass last year, but we're concerned erosion is starting to get a foothold this spring. My plan is to put down an open weave jute or coconut...

There are many foam inhibitors out there, chemicals that inhibit spray foam from forming or sticking to a surface. One likely culprit is silicone that may have been sprayed on the wheel in the past. If so, WD-40 can remove it. One way or another, it's probable the wheel should be thoroughly...

Thanks for responding. Much appreciated.

I want to remove the headlight covers on my XT1 to remove grass clippings and moisture. I see 1 clip on the inside but haven't tried it as I assume there's probably more to it. Thoughts, please.

You may not like the name or call it a word salad but get used to it; you'll be seeing it a lot for the next 8 years.

Incredibly the name Rehlko comes from the scramble of Kohler. Talk about dumb; successful companies choose a name for marketing and sales advantages, not by pulling letters from a bag. Maybe GE will get inspired by them but what would the new name be?

As long as you're mindful to not store gasoline over 2 months there is no reason to use ethanol-free gasoline. Fresh or reasonably fresh gasoline won't damage a small engine. Check your manual and I think you'll see B&S agrees with me.

Not sure, but I believe the test is flawed in several aspects. Phase separation occurs when gasoline becomes saturated with water, which forces the water and gasoline to separate. While it's likely an eye dropper in a cup of water would lead to saturation, it's not certain. Beyond that, it...

Manual PTO clutch.

My Cub Cadet XT1 is has 70 hours on it. After using it for a while it doesn't turn over, as if the battery is weak. If I wait 10-15 minutes, it starts fine. Any ideas.

I don't recall a battery lasting less than 3 or more than 5 years, car, truck, or mower. Clearly high CCA batteries are designed to outlast lower CCA but I'm mindful of the cost, given that batteries seldom go beyond 60 months and aren't reliable long before that.

But which is worse in salt water, a battery or a shark?

I agree, my mistake. Of course, the point is the same. The issue is of lesser concern in Louisiana versus some more northern states.
