Praying this post finds you regulars in good health! My wife and are 50 and this knocked us down pretty good. I was part of a group that got it at a place I do work.

Re: 1872 freshen up burning oil

Sorry to hear. Man that's a kick in the shorts! Yes new breather is a must. I don't think I read anything about valve guides but maybe that was lumped in with valve work. How about the valve seals as well. These are installed? Just wondering if something got innocently overlooked. Good luck

Why would you consider an 18 horse twin vs single cylinder? Maybe I missed it but let us know some of the pieces we ...

Hey welcome. Yeah it's kinda like a "bent metal pressure bump thing". If this sat outside for a while it could be rust holding it. I would think if you stand next to the tractor grab both sides of the hood back by the dash and give a firm tug it should pop. If not maybe spray some wd in two spots. I...

Gtx 2100 lift trouble

So father in law (lives in Andover NY) bought a 2012 cub cadet gtx 2100 last year. He called today and said the electric lift will move down but not up. Dealer said a new lift motor is $750. Ouch! I called Ray but he has nothing. I told dad to take it apart to see what's actually causing the problem...

Any higher and you wouldn't be able to see where you are going. Lol. My yard is mostly flat...but when needed..like this weekend I grab the lift rod and hold it up that extra 1.5" to clear the snowblower at a few spots in the yard while pulling the mulch wagon. Good job!

Re: M18 vs M20 starters

Sorry so late and I'm sure you have this resolved. From what I remember... 18 has the power lug on the side. 20 has in the end. It's possible I have it vice versa but that was I issue I remember from years back. Other than that I have no idea if tooth count are different or what else.

I haven't seen oem or nice aftermarket covers in a while. I found a factory cover with the foam for the higher back seat. I installed that maybe 5 years ago. It wasn't too bad but needed two people. Setting in the hot sun for an hour was key. It seems to me that narrow frame seat is kinda rare. I ne...

That edge looks good! Do those bolts have any kind of plating? Maybe a nice coat of grease on the threads and in the cap. I guess this will be the same as last year...I'm mowing and your still "claiming"your messing around with the white stuff. :lol:
