    Sold Misc Cub Parts

    I’m needing to clean out my garage. Everything here is from a 149 except the block and engine components, they are a 12hp K301 instead of a 14hp. I am located close to Clarksburg WV. $200

    1450 barely backup up after Neutral Adjust.

    The speed control level on my 1450 has been out of adjustment since I bought it in 2020. As the image shows, the tractor's neutral (as far as the pump trying to move the tractor forward or reverse) was when the lever was in the position shown in the picture. I have been reading our website's...

    Everyone, I need some troubleshooting advise - 1450 starter "died"

    One last update- it was actually corroded ends on the starter wire at the solenoid. I cleaned the ends on the wires, ground connection between the block/starter and both battery terminals. Before I put it all together, I coated the ends with no -ox electrical contact grease and it started fine.

    Everyone, I need some troubleshooting advise - 1450 starter "died"

    I’m happy to report that I have isolated the problem. It’s the 12volt wire going from the solenoid to the starter. Thanks everyone for the valuable input!

    Everyone, I need some troubleshooting advise - 1450 starter "died"

    I want to thank everyone for the advice. It helps to have a wealth of knowledge to pull from when you have an issue here and there. The earliest I can do anything is Wednesday. I’m anxious to get into it and see what’s going on.

    Everyone, I need some troubleshooting advise - 1450 starter "died"

    I believe the solenoid is located under the dash. That's what I hear clicking when I turn the key to "start." Is the best way to get access to it is by removing the gas tank?

    Gary, the starter solenoid is located under the dash. I believe that is what I hear clicking when I turn the key to start.

    Everyone, I need some troubleshooting advise - 1450 starter "died"

    I drove the tractor into the garage and was checking the hytran fluid level. I went to put it away and the starter wouldn't turn "like it died." Listed below are what I've tried and what I discovered. 1) The starter solenoid "clicks" when the key is turned 2) The starter solenoid does NOT click...

    QA36A Snow Blower Bad Shaft

    I bought this snow blower a while back and when I connected it to my 1450, I thought it had bad U-Joints. I bought them "Very Pricey" and took the shaft out and I have discovered that the output shaft on the right angle gear has the key way wallered out. Is it worth taking to a machine shop to...

    I see some pics for snow blowers. I have a QA36A single stage blower that has a bad shaft on the right angle gearbox. I see your dad has some blowers and one pic of a "loose" gearbox. Does he still have it.

    15 ho kohler command for a 782

    I am going to look at this kohler motor that was in a cub cadet. He said he bought it to put on a go cart and never got around to it and it’s just sitting taking up space in the garage. I’m needing a replacement engine for the kohler series 1 17 hp in a 782. I have two questions. 1) Are these...

    Mid 90s Briggs engine swap

    Has anyone tried to install a Briggs 16 horse twin out of a 1641 into a 782? The most obvious issue is that the Briggs has a fuel pump on it and the tank sits under the rear fender and the old Kohler K17’s fuel is gravity fed from the tank ride behind the engine. I picked up a 782 last night...
