782 fuel pump

It appears that the fuel pump on my 782 died. Every now and then for the last 3 or 4 mowing the engine would act up starved for fuel. Some choke would clear it up and after a bit you could shove the choke in and it would run great. Well this last time it didn't recover and died. Sit a few and it wou...

How do you make it go Grandpa?

After several rides on various Cub Cadets and the electric "jeep/Barbie car" at home my almost 4 year old granddaughter gets on the pedal tractor that her older cousins had been riding and asked me "how do you make it go? ". She has really grown since last year as she couldn't reach the pedals then....

Serial number on the 682 is

I don't know where to find the serial number listings for the Cub Cadet Corporation so I don't know how early this one is.

Plowed my garden

Last summer I bought a 128 to use for plowing. Had never plowed with a gear drive. so this past Saturday I had the chance. As the tractor was set up for the snow plow this winter (never used it because of no snow) it still had the wheel weights (92#s per side) and chains still on it. Hung the brinle...

Re: 1450 Plow Blade Lift Anemic

There will be slack there at the end of the lift cylinder Clovis under normal set up will allow blade to drop below grade some. Otherwise you would be picking the blade off the ground when the front tires drove over a bump.

Re: 1450 Plow Blade Lift Anemic

The round end of the lift arm is made that way. Has no effect. The end of the lift arm has an angle on it. The spacer between the Clevis links has the same angle. They meet to provide lift.

I should also add that if you had blocking pin in and you run your blade up onto something like a pile of packed snow your lift rod would take on a new shape with a big bow in it. :o

Re: 1450 Plow Blade Lift Anemic

If you don't have the lockout pin in #9 there is play it's called float. It allows whatever is hanging on your tractor to raise up rather than Bearing the weight of the tractor. With blade on the ground you can pick up for the full travel if you are strong enough if the pin is out. If the pin is in ...

Take the tunnel cover off and with engine off put a big wrench be it pipe, cresent, channel lock or whatever on the "yoke" on the end of the rock shaft on the right side of the tunnel and try to move it both ways.

Re: 1450 Plow Blade Lift Anemic

That should be a spiral pin and not a roll pin in the control lever. Much stronger. The fact that it does work points the problem elswhere. The play may affect the speed but really can't limit the travel of the cylinder. Even if the valve only opened a tiny amount in either dirrection the lift cylin...

Re: 1450 Plow Blade Lift Anemic

The depth stop cam on the right side of the the tunnel isn't limiting the travel somehow is it? On my 149 I had very limited travel on the lift and the spiral pin that locked the cylinder lift lever to the rockshaft was partially shore off. Replaced it and gained my lift back. And it takes a spiral ...

A Po must have grandkids who drove this tractor. Take a look at the throttle stop to limit the engine speed. I might have to use the same on a couple of my others for same reason.

Thanks Steve
Mine must have had a deck swap as it does have the 32" deck on it. I will have to check the tire sizes.
My other 2 parts 85", one has the wider deck and the other the smaller deck.
Basically is was a cheaper version of the 85 then.
