cub cadet

I have a 17BF3AGV010 with ~350 hours and the deck belt*** keeps breaking. This will be my… 5th? 6th? In less than four year and my second repair shop. I’m not mechanically inclined but trying to figure out next steps. How would you address this with the shop? Any other insight?

Greetings! My sanity is on the line here (what's left of it). In the attached photograph you will see the Oil Drain hose. I can not get that top off to save my life. It turns, but apparently is not threaded. It will not pull off, regardless of how many names I call it. I have hundreds of...

I've got a 3 year old lawn tractor and by the second year I noticed that it started to struggle turning the engine on the start. Once it had started then there wasn't an issue. Now, however, it seems to have gotten worse. The motor will turn once and then struggles to turn again. Holding down on...

Not sure if this is a new Ultima model for Cub Cadet. I like the look and the price is right. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/800422262886877?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A3438022b-bc54-473e-a7d7-c2cb1d986152

Looking for a XT2 42" LX. New is going to be about $3400 out the door. Found what appears to he a very nice used one with 96 hours on it. Cost is $2000. I know there will be no warranty on the used mower. I am fairly handy but not a mechanic. I really liked my local dealer when I went to...

So I am doing my homework on purchasing a new rider, looking more for a buy once, cry once option. I will be mowing half an acre, pretty flat residential lot. Currently using a 20 year old Craftsman lawn tractor with a 24 hp Briggs v twin with hydrostatic transmission and 42" cut. 42" cut is...

Hi I have a Cub cadet xt1 lt 42” with a Kohler ks540 engine. When I cleaned the outer engine with carb cleaner I sprayed a little at the air filter intake and now it doesn’t run right. Keeps running really rough even after it should have cleared out the carb cleaner. Did I really screw it up or...

Dealing with a Cub Cadet XT2 with a KT735-3078 engine that, when it heats up, often within 10-30 minutes after starting to mow, starts to surge, sputter, and lose power, sometimes stalling completely. These are the following things I did to this mower, but still have the same issues: replaced...

I have a mower that only has 130 hrs. on it. It is a 2015 model with a Kawasaki engine. It has the manual lever to engage the PTO. Lately the PTO is slow to engage. Sometimes takes 25-30 seconds to start turning the blades. The cable is in great shape. Lever is not bent. What could cause this...

ZT1 42 only turns in 1 direction

Transmission oil comes up thru steering column/

I would like to add some suspension to my RZT-L 46 zero turn. I don't want to spend a fortune on a suspension seat. I would appreciate some suggestions. My mower is a 2017 model year.

So here is my question to all the Kohler techies out there. I have a Cub Cadet GT1554 with a Kohler KT745. Engine is about 18 months old and has less than 30 hours on it. At this point, the engine seems to be loosing compression. The linkage has been adjusted and that helped. I am thinking...

I was mowing when my RZT L just stop moving forward..................in fact it wouldn't move backward either. The steering levers feel as if I'm trying to push them through cold honey. Move them in all directions and nothing happens. Engine runs fine, blades engage and disengage just fine...

Has anyone with a Cub Cadet SZ60 Commercial Tank , with a steering wheel been able to find a provider for a service /repair manual? Would like to get some directions for replacing the filter and fluid in the drive units, as well as issue with the electronic steering not working.

I recently changed both coil modules and notice on the right side a green wire connector. Can someone tell me where this goes or where connected to. I don't see anywhere missing connection.

So, I inherited a much older Cub Cadet Z-Force. Mechanically, it’s in fantastic shape. It just needed some new wheels and a deck belt. Model: 53AA5B6L712 I was able to find the correct deck belt and the diagram sticker is only partial on the mower and of no use. I know this is a much older...

I have a cub cadet Z-Force 48 zero turn, model 17AF3AGV010, with a Kohler Courage Pro 23 engine. I mowed the lawn today and it ran fine, I shut it off to cool down before putting it away and now I can't keep it running. The mower will start but only run for about 2-3 seconds then shuts down like...

Hello Folks, I have checked online and find a diagram that is close, but questionable. There are multiple problems due to bypassed and missing wires and switches. Model number is 51AA5A7M710.

Rebuilt k241 (oil ring stuck). now runs hot and valves will not keep their clearance. Replaced rings, gaskets, cleaned everything. ran about 30 min. then the problem started. Right after. cut grass till engine got hot then loss of power. let cool, checked clearance and it was to wide. Reset...

Replaced deck pullies, spring, new wheels and blades. Belt still twists at the engine pully then goes back normal but it's chewing up the belt.

Hey there, just bought a used zero turn. It starts up, moves just fine, no error lights. New clutch, new pto switch. I tested both they both work. Did a bunch of continuity tests on the wire harness. Someone removed the spring on the seat safety switch to bypass it when they get off. Any...

My cub was having issues last winter, gas ran in to the crank. That has been fixed. Shut off valve added to prevent a repeat. Carb rebuilt too. Next issue is the engine speed and lack of power. I bought a cheap electronic tachometer so I could monitor the engine speed. My original manual...

My Cub Cadet just clicks at the fuel solenoid when I try to start it. Here's what I have have done so far. Replaced the following: starter, starter solenoid, and ignition switch. Pulled the fuel solenoid, cleaned and reinstalled. Battery is good, I had O'Reilly's test it for me. There...

I have a Cub Cadet XT1 LT46 riding mower. It has a Tuff Torq TL-200 transmission. I noticed a few weeks ago that when the mower is off, I can roll it with the hydro bypass rod engaged and disengaged. I also noticed that while driving when I left off the hydrostatic pedal, the mower continues to...

I cannot find the bracket kit 753-06608 for my cc760 anywhere. Would anyone know the specs on the kit so I can fabricate my own?

I have this CC Z Force that has no power to the anti-backfire solenoid with key turned on. Solenoid tests good when powered manually. Mower Model number 53AA5A7M710 w/ the Briggs & Stratton engine. Engine runs but only with full choke on to suck fuel past the solenoid plunger tip. Carburetor...

Model 53AA5A7M710 Serial 1H024Z00013. 360 hrs. This past week I have had an interesting zero turn that the hydro drive totally quit on. The nylon tensioner pulley locked up and the drive belt melted it in half. It goes without saying that the deck has to be removed before digging into one of...

Hi guys: a friend brought me piece of junk and asked me to fix it. Cub Cadet CC800 walk behind Model (12AE76M8010) Engine is a (Cub Cadet 382cc OHV) If it was someone else it would have been a big NO but he needs help sometimes. And also I'm not a small engine repairman I just like to work on...

LT1046 My mower has a knock knock knock sound that is coming from around the transmission it does not knock when the brake is engaged. I have checked for sticks or anything hitting the belts or fan on the tranny to no avail. any ideals?

Cub Cadet IntelliPower 42 in. Gas Riding Lawn Mower, Cub Cadet Engine, Hydrostatic Transmission Has anyone had experience with this engine

Recently, I decided to do some deck maintenance on my Cub Cadet Pro Z 100. Two of the spindles (p/n 918-07255) seemed pretty solid. No play in any direction. Before greasing, though, they made a bit of noise when turning the blades. After greasing, they got quiet. The 3rd spindle... had vertical...

I am relatively new to using a zero turn mower and have lots of questions. My Cub Cadet is a ZRTS1 50" and I use it to cut a 1 acre parcel. It makes cutting this parcel so easy for me since I only have the use of one hand. The one question I have right now is when I am cutting new grass...

Hey guys, does anyone know the part number or where to buy just the headlight lens cover for a LT2180 ??

Anyone add the mulch kit to their cub cadet zero turn? If so does it work well?

My mower cub cadet XT1 LT46 will exhaust some blue smoke and then stop. It happens when first started? Told that was normal? Told to use synthetic oil 20w50 outdoor power equipment ? Any commets. Thanks, Kim

Last year had valves adjusted, replaced battery and starter solenoid. Used Lawn tractor all summer last year. Battery has been on motorcycle trickle charger all winter. This is first time to try to start it this year. Cleaned battery posts and cable. Battery testing shows full charge and 13...

I just picked up a new ZT1-50 with the Kawasaki FR691V engine. In the cub cadet owners manual it states to change the 'break in' oil at 5 hours but the manual is used for several models and I think some of them use different engines. The Kawasaki engine owners manual makes no mention of changing...

140 cc Briggs and Straton Engine bogs down easily, rear rubber flap protecting user from items thrown back immediately falls off during use. Overall a waste of close to $500. Anyone have a different opinion of this high rear wheel push mower ?

I have a T1 cubcadet ridung mower I’m trying to get my back wheel off to have a tube put in it, I have taken the hub and screw out but the wheel will not come off

Got this out from winter storage in the shed. New battery today . Engine starts but is hammering loud and blowing lots of oil & smoke out the exhaust. Dies after about 10 seconds. I bought it new over 25 years ago. about 700 hours on it. Oil changes & filter every couple of years. My guess is...

Have a Cub Cadet 122 production date 1967. Has been running great until yesterday. Started up and to keep the battery charged and it ran for about 15 minutes with no issues however, it then abruptly conked out. Tried to restart the tractor and was unable to get it started. Has a new sparkplug a...

I picked up a free Cub Cadet SC500 E today, and both the charger and the battery are wasted. In order to convert to pull start I will need the pull start body and the engine housing cover. This mower has the Briggs engine 190cc 875. Will the housing off the 163cc work for me ?

This will likely sound so rudimentary as to expose me as a dunce. 2008 Cub Cadet i1042 Zero-turn riding mower. How bad is it to engage the PTO with the mower deck removed? Every time I engaged the PTO the mower conked out. The belt did not seem to have slipped from the pulleys and it had worked...

Part number TT-187T0134280. I replaced these CC XT1 seals last week. One side was leaking badly enough to lose enough fluid to cause problems. The other side was barely leaking. Removed hubcap (pry lightly on one side), axle bolt (need 1/2 inch socket), wheel, plastic spacer. Wide part of...

Ok, so in 2018 I purchased a Cub Cadet LT42 XT1, Enduro Series. I used it a few times and realized it backfired every time I tried to kill the engine...I thought it would work its self out and I drove it that way for a couple of months. Then It began to run a bit like it had a little water in...

My 2006 RTX50 (model 17AA5D7P710) with Kawasaki engine has developed a frustrating problem. When the mower is under a load, the engine starts stumbling-cutting out. I noticed that there didn't seem to be any fuel in the filter. I replaced the fuel pump and all the fuel lines after draining and...

If not allowed, please delete. Father in law has this cub in the back yard. I do not know the year or model. Does not run. I'd like to get $100 for it. Located in Philadelphia, Pa burbs burbs.
