Re: Cub Cadet 2284 wont stay running and running out of options.
Something I rarely see mentioned but can happen is those fuel pumps have two tappets in them and they can pop loose. I once swapped a whole engine just to have it not fix the issues because I used the same fuel pump. In my case, it was a 782 and it ran great for 15 minutes, sometimes longer then los...

Re: 2084 SGT
Before you get too far along here have you done a compression check on that engine? If it just died but restarted the low oil may have just been something you noticed and not the cause. May have blown a head gasket under load and died or something. It'll run on one cylinder and sometimes they'll eve...

Re: 782 Choke Knob & Cable Problem
Sounds like it all worked out in the end and it runs. Mission accomplished! Thanks for the update
As for pictures, should be as simple as using the "add attachment" tab when posting but I'm getting a few years out of date on current technology after spending years keeping up with it closely.

Re: 782 Choke Knob & Cable Problem
There shouldn't be a safety on the hydro lever unless possibly it's one of those late MTD ones. There was some sort of little metal safety prong thing added at some point but i won't pretend to be well versed with what it was or did. It could be possible your linkage under the tunnel cover is rubbin...

Re: 782 Choke Knob & Cable Problem
At this point without seeing what you have in person or detailed pics, I'm not sure what else anyone can know for it. It's not all original so it could be any kind of system. I'm still a believer it's wiring with a somewhat strong possibility it could be the wrong switch. It's only a 5 position swit...

Re: 782 Choke Knob & Cable Problem
I'm honestly not terribly familiar with that engine but I'd be skeptical two magnetos went bad simultaneously. I personally didn't even know that engine had two so not the expert there. I'd be ruling out any and all wiring and electrical possibilities first. You can probably even Ohm test the magnet...

Re: 782 Choke Knob & Cable Problem
If the old one still worked and it hasn't started since you replaced it, I'd definitely put it back in and see what happens. Its been quite a few years since I messed with a Command, but it probably doesn't take the same switch as the tractors you listed (which had KT17s or Onans with coils on the 9...

Re: 782 Choke Knob & Cable Problem
Your engine issue must still be in my head because I just had a thought. That's not the original engine and you recently replaced the ignition switch. Has it ran since then? There's a lot of switches that look identical but aren't. Your engine might require a different one and be as simple as you pu...

Re: 782 Choke Knob & Cable Problem
Sounds like everyone else has you covered. There are no points because it's not the original KT17 engine in there. You have a magneto in there instead as Tom mentioned and probably bad if no spark. As far as engine removal, pretty straight forward if it's still mostly original. 4 bolts up under the ...

Re: 782 Choke Knob & Cable Problem
Can you elaborate a bit to help us out? With a frozen cable i assumed it sat a while. When's the last time it was running great? Reason I ask is if it's been setting the fuel pumps lose prime and needs to cycle a while to pump up. Also old stale gas could be sitting in that carb regardless of what's...

Re: 782 Choke Knob & Cable Problem
The only adjustment is the clamp that holds it at the carburetor. I'd take that clamp completely off (1/4" socket i think). After the cable is off the carburetor make sure the choke on the carb isn't frozen and try to pull the choke knob while it's off the carburetor. If the cable still won't move i...

There's always going to be those custom to certain model parts that'll be no longer available but I think of it this way.

I'm not too worried short term. As with anything if there's sufficient market to make money they'll make it. Regardless who owns the name, most parts are manufactured third party anyway. That and Kohler and Cub Cadet both have a plentiful supply of aftermarket and custom parts. Plus so many parts tr...

Cadet 60 blade manual
Does anyone have a manual or link to one for the Cadet 60 rer model 10 blade? I was fortunate enough to get one but hooking it up isn't painfully obvious. It's only missing the lift rods and one small bracket. It isn't in the downloads.

Interesting site I bookmarked on kohler replacements. Shipping might cost you a bit and I didn't read if they use OEM parts or not but I personally find that price great. Those engines lasted 40+ years so a correctly redone one should be the last time you worry about it. Doing it yourself probably w...

Re: 7252 cub slow cranking
I'm not familiar with that tractor but if the starter is good, ground good, and voltage, have you ruled out actual resistance from the engine? Something like frozen alternator bearing or clutch or something dragging? Again, I'm not familiar with this model, just another thought.

Re: Best use for a 147?
I agree on not using a loader on it. Not only do you not have power steering, the lifting capabilities are limited and the narrow frame front axle spindles were upgraded after the narrow frames for a reason. As for the blower, yes it's a lot of weight for a manual lift. The 147 will have that chrome...

Re: 1979 Cub Cadet International Purchase
That's a darn nice 782 and I would say worth the money... but i don't believe it's 1979. It's MTD built so 81 and later. Oddly has IH hubcaps and Mtd mowers shouldn't have a series 1 if I remember right. Seems like a not all original but nice restoration.
