First a comment, then a question. If it would be possible, I would like to see a minimum post amount before a for sale ad is allowed to be placed. We have a lot of people who join to post their classified ads, and we never hear from them again. Also, as a poster, and contributor to the forum, I feel...

Yes, the 3184 is a cast rear axle. The guy that I sold it to had gotten a 3206 last yr from me that needed rear axle seals. He got the 3184 from me earlier this year, and is going to use the deck, rear wheels, and rear end out of the burnt 3240 to "super size" the 3184 which had smaller rear tires a...

Dave, I have one left, come get it! It is even set up with ez vac sides and top. Also have 3 1650s that you could bring back to life. Well, maybe 2. One is in pretty bad shape. Mike, It sure is nice to see you posting. Hope you stick around here. We need more posting members, and I would love to see...

The entire tractor went to a friend. He plans to use the rear end in a 3184 so he can have the locker.

I doubt if it is what you are looking for, but the non-locking rear from the 3184 will be available in the near future.

I do not have any 3000 series tractors, or parts at the moment.

Mike,

I really enjoyed meeting you, and Gene. I wish we would have had longer to visit, but I know you had a brutally long drive ahead. I know the machines have found a good home. Thanks once again, you were a pleasure to deal with as well! Hope to talk to you soon.

Hi,Mark Welcome to the forum. Just my opinion... 1405 is just a riding mower, not a garden tractor like most of us on this forum are geared towards. That series does make for a good mower when they are 100%. Parts do show up on ebay from time to time. The biggest problem that I have seen in my limit...

Vinny....what makes the 3000's so hard to get off? Is it the higher steering wheel u cant lift your leg over.....or is it the foot controls that cause your arthritis to flare. Just wondering? Dave Dave...You just zip it!!! Don't you have a 1650 to be working on? And yes, old Arthur(itis) makes it h...

Vinny - First of all, more model number confusion... for the gas Kubota Cyclops, you mean 2182. You go through so many tractors they are just a blur coming by! doh!.jpg Yes they are, 4 more today. This hobby has turned into a habit! Not to hijack the thread, but I have been thinking about a gas Kub...

If is a factory equipped diesel, that could only be a 782d which is not a Super...no power steering or turning brakes. I need to memorize some numbers better myself, I have been in the hobby for a long time, and I still get confused on cyclops model numbers.

Joe, Just me thinking out loud, but here are a few of my thoughts in no certain order. A 2086 is such a good, powerful, and most of all reliable tractor as it is I would personally never attempt this conversion. You would be looking at wiring harness differences, pto clutch fitment issues, there are...

Tim,

Nice find! Would love to find a good anniversary model. I love that people are catching on to the 3000 series tractors. Once you get on one, it's hard to get off. Does that one have more than one hydraulic valve?

And your nephew is right. That green turns to gold really quick$$$$!!!!

Found a good deal thru a local vendor. They come in a package of 5 for $4.00. I purchased 20 of them. They were called a "packard" connector in their catalog rather than a "Delphi" as I was calling them. They had to be shipped in, which brought the total to about $26.00. Pretty close to the target p...

I never knew the rubber blocks were factory, good to know!

That seat sure looks good!

The paint dept. sure did leave a lot to be desired. I wonder if the metal wasn't prepped right, cheap paint, not much paint...who knows.

the 16 hp will have about 1/4 more vibration than a 14hp Reading my mind, Dale. Dave, Looks like it was a good deal, especially if that "c" deck in the background came with it. I know that you've been through this all before, but don't forget to check the oil pan to cradle bolts. I have seen them s...

Thanks, Jess. I almost just deleted the post, but I figured that I would leave the info up here in case anybody else needed some of them. Will probably order them early this week by phone. I will keep everybody posted on how the whole deal goes. I think I have 5 tractors here that need them and I ha...

Looking to buy a bulk lot (10-25 ea.) of the ignition switch connectors like in the picture below. found them on ebay for $8.99 ea, but I hope they can be bought cheaper. Part numbers would be great. Thanks in advance! EDIT: I should have specified, I am looking for the black plastic connectors, NOT...

Tom, those are quietline taillights that I dropped in a bucket of Miracle Gro. (D-cup :lol: ) Dave, Front end is pretty light with the grader blade on. Did a good job on the gravel driveway last night. Wish I knew what brand it was. Have not decided what I'm doing with this one, blade may go to Red ...

Here we go, phone was dying.

Having trouble uploading rear view, will try again.

Ok. Tractor #2 is a 782 that was bought new by the gentleman that I bought it from. On it's 3rd engine, the one in it now is a Kohler factory replacement. (Carb and all, it has fuel shutoff solenoid). Dual hyd outlets, hubcaps hiding wheel weights, and the original power angle 42" snow blade. #3 is ...

Paul, don't know what lit it up but I'm going to guess fuel related. They saw smoke "from unddrneath". Possibly a bearing seizing on the deck or debris in the path of an overly hot drive belt??? Dave...daaaang! That's gonna leave a mark (but not on my stellar feedback rating) :lol: Tom, governor cou...

Laugh ...laugh my little class clowns!!! You bunch of nerds wouldn't know a top quality parts tractor if it bit you on the ... :lol: All kidding aside, this one is going to a friend at work. He is going to salvage the deck and rear wheels, and hopefully the rear axle for another 3000 series that he ...

Bought this one in a package this week. Will be picking it up tonight. It was a 40th anniversary 3240. Hoping to salvage a few parts. Hate to see anything destroyed by fire.

Robert, If you remove the air cleaner assembly and the oil filler tube you can look right into the engine where the governor sits. You will know right away if there is any damage to it. Should be a white plastic gear, but will probably be more brown in color. You may find that it is entirely gone. F...

Troy,

Did you have any competition? I have made some very good buys at auctions just because nobody else knew what the item was. Were there any other Cub Cadet parts available?

Nice find!
Vinny

The rear tank on my truck has a jb weld patch over a stainless sheetmetal screw that has been on there for about 8 years. The Deutz Allis mag 18 has been plugged since 2009. Not sayin I'm proud of the truck repair (actually ashamed, but at 334,000 miles you do what you have to to hold em together). ...

Done it on a Kawasaki vert. shaft engine on a walk behind, and a Deutz Allis with a magnum 18 with good success, but I tried it on a Command in an 1864 and it seemed like the engine took forever to shut off. I removed the plunger but left the solenoid in place on all but the magnum. On the magnum I ...

http://www.smallenginewarehouse.com/Repower-Old-Equipment/Massey-Ferguson-1450-Category/ That website is great for reference on what tractors used what engines. Mike, I believe they used the wide base block rather than the narrow base that our Cubs use. Wheel Horse, Some JD. And a lot of stationary ...

Throw some ether to it and let it rock and roll.

Welcome, Paul!

Great collection there. You have found the right place! As more people discover the 3000 series, they find out what an awesome machine they are. In my opinion, the 3000 series is the last true garden tractor that CC made, and the most comfortable ride CC ever made!

Vinny
