    dieseling

    What model? Let it idle for 5 min before shutting it off. Timing might be off, or there is a sharp-edge piece of carbon or something else in the combustion chamber glowing.

    Tractor For Sale Beautiful 1450 Hydro for sale

    If I was trying to sell something, I'd have it listed in multiple places. The audience here is VERY narrow. Perhaps there are more people lurking, but there are ~25 or less relatively active members here based on the same few names I see posting all the time. FB marketplace is somewhat...

    Tractor For Sale Beautiful 1450 Hydro for sale

    My experience at least has been the opposite lately- Craigslist is nearly dead. I haven't sold anything on there in years. FB marketplace is the way to go in 2024. Much wider reach, and for better or worse, will basically get it shoved in front of eyes that want to see it.

    Tractor For Sale Beautiful 1450 Hydro for sale

    Wrong. There are two styles: earlier in which the bellcrank that actuates the valve is connected to the handle with a roll pin, and a later one that clamps on. Since it is not vertical in the neutral position and presumably still functions, it is likely the later style, and the clamp has slipped...

    Question for the Narrow Frame Experts

    OEM Gates Power-rated (black with red label) Non-blue lawn and garden Kevlar belts You will be spending more money on it in the form of belts if you don't put the correct spring on there as the factory intended. When that electric clutch engages, the belt will momentarily have to stretch a LOT...

    Question for the Narrow Frame Experts

    What model tractor is that? That PTO clutch isn't original, so who knows if the OEM belt length will even work. Those blue kevlar belts are awful...they probably stretch about 2" in this application after initial run-in, and they don't last. You really need to get a spring to replace that...

    Cadet 85 Part List

    Search for "Cadet 85 Special" in the Cub Cadet Parts Lookup. Carb Kit part number is BS-394698.

    782D exhaust pic please

    These parts from the 582 are Briggs part numbers and will bolt right up to that engine. 2x BS-691970 PIPE ASSY, EXHAUST [google says that number replaces BS-398349 shown below] and 1x BS-491307S EXHAUST MUFFLER. This is shown in the Cub Cadet Parts lookup:

    782D exhaust pic please

    A muffler from a 580, 582, 582 special, 1604, and a couple other models I'm forgetting would bolt on. Or you could modify the KT-17 muffler with the manifolds on the muffler bolted to the 'new' engine. Lots of options other than cutting a hole in the side panel.
  11. mgonitzke

    782D exhaust pic please

    How can the exhaust not run out the front? If I remember the pic you posted, it's a horizontally-opposed Briggs twin. A version of that was used in the 582 and the exhaust goes out the front.

    Cub Cadet 107 not charging - I am stumped

    While the tractor is running, temporarily ground the "F" terminal on the starter/generator. This will cause full output if it is working properly, peg the ammeter to the 'charge' side, and you should read 15+V across the battery terminals. If not, the field coils on the starter/generator are...

    PTO Clutch set screws

    5/16-18 and be done with it. You guys are WAAYYYY overthinking this.

    PTO Clutch set screws

    Where are you finding 5/16-20 setscrews? As I said...not a standard size. I'm pretty sure you mean 5/16-18...

    PTO Clutch set screws

    5/16-18 is the standard 5/16" coarse thread. 5/16-24 is the standard fine thread. 5/16-20 is an odd size that is not a current standard. You won't find setscrews that size easily if at all. Given the part is cast iron, I'd prefer coarse threads.

    Newly Acquired 149: Modified Deck

    Yes, with the matching mule drive and subframe.

    Replace PTO pulley with aux hydro-pump

    I did something like that with my 682 loader tractor. I made a separate reservoir as I didn't care to have it be shared with the transaxle. The fenders have to be raised an inch to allow a shaft out the back of the hydro unit to pass under the battery box. A starter/generator (or even...

    1450 with No spark

    The points begin to break when the "S" mark is centered in the sight hole, which corresponds to 20 degrees before top dead center. This is what the timing needs to be set to, not TDC. Here is a more detailed procedure for static timing than what is in the Kohler manual...

    1450 spreading 400 lbs of manure

    Spreader has lug tires to drive all the mechanical stuff on it. Probably won't work with turf tires on it.
