Good evening all. So here is the story; I will keep it short: I have a Cub Cadet LTX1050. I purchased it used and have put a significant amount of money into it since I got it (governor, regulator, carb rebuild, pulleys, belts, pto, etc.). After about 20 hours of doing all this work, it is...

My step dad gave me an ExMark that he said was having a hard time holding a charge. He stated that after a couple of cuts (about 2 acres each), the mower would have a hard time starting. He did replace the battery with a 350 CCA unit this past year and it was put on a trickle charger after...

A few months ago when I replaced the governor gear on my LTX1050, I adjusted the governor arm and attempted to set the rpm but cannot find the proper max governed rpm. The engine's technical manual lists the idle rpm and minimum governed rpm but no maximum governed rpm. I tried calling the Cub...

So, I broke down last weekend and purchased a new Cub Cadet GT50 to replace my LTX1050. I watched the employee at the store uncrate it so that I could roll it onto my trailer. I voiced concern to the individual regrading the nails from the crating to which he was disassembling before my eyes...

I was not able to take a lot of pictures as my hands were quite messy. I can tell you that the entire process only took about 5 hours combined. That is removing the engine, tearing it down, cleaning whatever needed to be cleaned and putting it all back together. Some things that I will note...

Hello. I was experiencing some hunting/surging on my Briggs v-twin so I attempted to adjust the governor. Now when I start the mower, it revs uncontrollably. It is revving so high the engine is going to explode! I have tried over and over to adjust the governor but nothing I do fixes the...

When purchasing a lawn roller there are many sizes and weights to choose from. Setting aside ones that can be pushed​ or pulled​ by hand, what is a good size or weight roller for a homeowner with a riding mower? It all comes down to how many pounds per linear inch of roller in contact with...

I would be using the Rotary 12809. The blade has an edge that goes almost to the center hole, plus the teeth on the back supposedly catch clippings and give them another slice?

Hello all. I need help solving a problem. When I press the drive pedal on my LTX1050, it makes an obnoxious noise from beneath the middle of the machine. The noise only occurs right before the machine starts moving. Once the machine is in motion, the noise goes away. It is hard to explain...

I have a 50" stamped deck on my rider. I currently have high lift blades which throw the clippings out pretty far. I am looking to mulch with my mower this year. Would gator blades and an open chute be better or a plug and low lift blades to achieve a better mulch and less clippings left...

Hello all. I am looking to purchase an Ariens Ikon X 52" in the coming weeks. I was hoping to hear from a few owners. Seeing as the ZT X is pretty much the same thing, I will take responses from anyone with either machine. I am looking for information on cut quality, reliability, ease of...

My step dad is purchasing a Ferris IS3200Z and I may have the option of buying his eXmark LCT4818BV off of him. It's a 2005 Lazer 48" with 18hp Briggs engine. I don't know how to price this to offer him a good deal but I assume I would be able to get it for about what the dealer would offer him...

I have a Cub Cadet LTX1050VT (24hp Briggs) and I am looking for the best mulching setup for this mower. The manual shows that the blades are 2 in 1 with a mulching plug as an option. Cub Cadet (MTD rather) offers extreme mulching blades which look similar to Gators. I know from my experience...

Hello all. I am in the market for a new zero turn mower. I bought a 2009 Cub Cadet LTX1050VT last year after purchasing a house on 3 acres (~1.5 of which is grass). At the time I could only afford something used, hence the "dated" cub cadet. Between a major deck failure during my first mow...
