Re: Lumber shortage

We just make our own!

Re: 1572 glow plugs

Have you done the up-grade to remove the glow plugs from the key switch? You would need to add a solenoid.
New glow plugs?
Gear reduction starter?
Updated grounding?

Re: 2082 pto clutch bearings

I’ve never done it, but I’m told the bearings can be changed out by opening up the sheet metal cover and popping out the old and installing new. Punch the tin back around the new bearing. MTD wants you to replace the entire pto pulley at least. Sorry I don’t have a part number.

Re: Cub Cadet Electrical System

Just the orange on the key switch to the orange with black on the solenoid, pedal locked down do you have continuity? If not try putting a temp jumper across the clutch pedal switch. If it cranks over fix the switch! Don’t leave jumpers across safety circuits !

Re: Cub Cadet Electrical System

There should be a 4th terminal on the regulator it might not be labeled. Sometimes under the regulator sometimes on the opposite side depending on the new manufacture. As for starting check the orange wires from the key switch to the soloniod, one should have a black Tracer. Make sure with the pedal...

Re: LTX 1050 pto clutch bolt wont turn

Welcome !
I’m not that familiar with the new Home Depot models(new to most here is newer then 2000).

Generally it would be a right hand thread bolt, often times the factory uses a dab of lock tight to keep it from moving.

Re: Cub Cadet Electrical System

Blue is in the wrong spot, L should have nothing on it. I believe this is your issue. Yellow and grey are correct. The amp gauge is correct, unless it is reversed witch would show a negative charge once running. Keep us posted

Re: Cub Cadet Electrical System

Welcome! I would start by checking the voltage regulator. Likely the grey and blue wires are not correct, it’s not the location on the side of the regulator, it’s the letter on the terminal. Not all replacements are the same. It’s possible your old one had bad contacts inside, the new one in the wor...

After that, who knows what I’ll end up with!

Re: 129 =Time for a new Engine

Can’t say anything about a custom engine. The 14’s are the same base block as a 10/12. The flywheel does not appear to come with the engine in your link. Of corse the shroud needs to be changed with the flywheel. The flywheel is bigger on the 14/16’s. The muffler and the carb is also bigger on the 1...

No latches on a 1450, just pull up! There is a spring steel latch of sorts at the back of the hood under the dash. So pull up at the back!

Hard to know for sure but looking for advice. About 8 years ago I bought a 2082 project tractor for a friend. He got itngoing and ran it for some time as a weekly mower. The starter went and he bought a 2182 and the 2082 sat. He put about 4 hours on it in the 8 years. It needed a seat and the classi...

I don’t see the “plates” that bolt to the frame, if you have a 60” deck you should have these already. I think 450 is a fair price especially the Scarcity of cubs in Washington state.
