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.

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.

Today I greased the front wheels of my XT1 for the first time using my pistol grip grease gun and Valvoline Multi-Purpose grease. The mower has four grease fittings at the front wheels, two on each side. The first fitting loaded fine with exess grease coming out by the fitting. On the other...

I have a Cub Cadet XT1 riding mower. I don't expect to use it again until March or April so I put it away for the season. I'm concerned about tire flat spots given that it won't be used for perhaps 4 months so I'm planning to rotate the tires 1/4 turn periodically. I'm wondering if anyone has...

I have a Cub Cadet XT1. I want to repair a rear tire leak so I have to raise the rear tire. I'd appreciate some information on where to place a jack. I assume it's under the hitch mount but am not certain. Thanks.

I have a Cub Cadet XT1 with a Kohler KT725 engine and I'm about to do its initial 5-hour oil change and I have a question. The manual seems to imply changing only the oil, not the filter. Is this correct?

I have approx. 1/4 acre of rugged wooded area to clear of brush, brambles, and saplings. I bought a conversion kit for my SR-225 trimmer that came with an 8-tooth blade. While it worked OK on very small stuff, I'm looking for a blade to clear brambles and 1/2-1" saplings. From what I've read...

I'm putting down Sevin Insect Killer on my lawn with a Speedy-Green spreader and the setting doesn't seem right to me. The bag shows Sta-Green settings (not Speedy-Green) so I'm converting. To apply the desired 4 lbs. per 1,000 sft the bag says the Sta-Green setting should be 9. I believe...

I purchased a Honda HRX217HYA about 4 years ago and its been running fine. Out of storage this season I've noticed what appears to me to be a drivetrain issue. When engaged only the left rear wheel drives rather than both wheels. (Frankly, I'm not certain this is incorrect but don't believe...

Living in Connecticut I prepped my Honda HRX217HYA for storage some time ago. I had some time and decided to sharpen the blades instead of waiting for spring. I put the mower on it's left side and noticed a small pool of oil when I finished. The oil apparently came from the carburetor...

Yesterday (August 31) the EPA issued a waiver allowing additional ethanol in gasoline as a result of the impacts on refining due to hurricane Harvey. The waiver effects 12 states in the southeast US and DC. I suggest anyone in those states who are concerned about the effect of ethanol on small...

Please help me by identifying the weed shown in the attached photos. I didn't even notice this last mow but now it's completely taken over an 8X8 area crowding out or somehow killed everything else. It's in a fairly sunny area although north sloping. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I mow about weekly from April 15th to October 15th, that's around 28 times preseason. Each mowing takes 1 1/2 hours (front and back), so I mow around 42 hours per year. I sharpen the blades at the start of the season and at mid-season or so, meaning I sharpen the blades every 21 hours, give or...

I have a Craftsman push mower with rear bagger, 917.388861, and want to replace the blade. I've read that some blades don't provide enough force to properly fill the rear bag. Is this correct? If so, please suggest a blade brand to avoid this problem and perhaps a source. I've looked at...

Picking up leaves I hit a baseball size rock which caused my blade to loosen a little. Now I can't get the blade to stay tight for more than 50 yards. I'm going to replace the blade but noticed the blade adapter has a small amount of play because the sprocket does not fit snugly to what I...
