Hi, All: I have a Cub Cadet RZTSX 54 steering wheel zero turn. (Greatest mower ever!) 2 years, no problems. Yesterday while I was mowing, the transmission drive belt jumped off. I got it back on there and it looked fine. I thought maybe a stick popped in there. Finished mowing and parked...

Hi all: This will amount to a question and a warning. I recently purchased a cub cadet RZT-SX54 steering wheel zero turn. Awesome lawnmower. I can't say enough great about it. My local dealer could not supply one so I ordered it from mowers direct. It came with the front steering toed in...

Hi all: not sure if anyone is following this thread anymore, but I thought I would post an update in case it would prove useful for anyone else purchasing one of these RZT SX 54 mowers. I started this thread because I was concerned that the front wheels appeared to not be correctly aligned...

Wowsers. About 20 minutes of googling after getting your reply has filled my head with more disinformation than I can shake a stick at. Very confusing.

I guess I will have to embarrass myself by asking who is AYP?

Well rats. I have been telling people for years that I thought my L120 was actually an MTD.

I can't speak for all of them, but I have a John Deere L120 purchased in 2004 that I am quite certain was manufactured by MTD. My brother-in-law has a craftsman MTD of the same age, and all of my steering parts are completely interchangeable with his.

Wowsers!! MTD owns Troybilt as well???? Holy cow! I have dealt with MTD quite a bit over the last 15 years getting parts for various brands of MTD built garden tractors. I had no idea the size and scope of that company. There are definitely Troy built zero turn mowers on the Internet this...

I followed your link, which led to a fairly significant amount of very heavy reading that is pretty much over my head. During my Internet research I saw a smaller (maybe 46 inch cut?) Troybilt steering wheel zero turn. I wonder if MTD made that? My cub cadet dealer told me that Troybilt had...

indeed. I was not aware that MTD owned the brand. John Deere, for instance sells MTD mowers for their low end offerings, as do many other companies, but I have been told they build their higher end mowers themselves. Our local cub Cadet dealer had a commercial steering wheel zero turn cub...

I have replied to several of the posts separately, but have a couple of additional comments that are unrelated. I specifically asked the dealer if this was an MTD product and he flat stated that it was not. Several things I have read here indicate that it is in fact an MTD product. I find...

after watching the video, I am most guided by your last comment here "you have to know what you are doing". This looks like a serious rabbit hole to me if I were to start tinkering with it. That said, I am the kind of person who buys a thing and takes care of it to make it last as long as I...

enjoyed reading your assessment. I have already verified your comment that even if the grass is slightly wet the front wheels will slip sideways on slopes. I have ordered some different front tires that have a more aggressive tread design. This might turn out to be a mistake with the toed in...

Thanks for the service manual! Awesome!

Hi, Hammermechanicman thank you very much for the link to that video!! Curious where you found that. I service all of my things myself and it looks like those videos could be very helpful . That is quite a complicated procedure, and obviously if I want to fool with that I am going to have to...

Did you notice the steering wheel? It is a zero turn, but the front wheels actually steer with the steering wheel. They are not just casters.

Just uncrated and assembled my new Cub Cadet RZTS 54. I notice that the front wheels are toed in quite a bit, maybe 3 to 5 degrees. Is this normal?
