    Add hydraulic lift to 1810?

    I have been looking for a little newer model CC than my 149. I would like to stay with an all metal (hood, etc.) CC. Recently an 1810 came up for sale but I want hydraulic lift for a snowblower. Do any or all 1810's have ported pumps? Is it worth the effort? Another downside is that it doesn't...

    Motor oil

    I agree, post # 2 also answered the question that was asked.

    Motor oil

    Finally, a simple answer to a simple question. Not a long-winded reply explaining recommended oils in late model engines, catalytic converters, etc.. As I said before, too much information becomes misinformation. I wish topics would stick to what pertains to the title of this forum...

    Primer on engine ?

    I wouldn't think that ceramic coating is paint and not feasible for use on CCs. I also wouldn't think anyone would try to ceramic coat their Kohler engine or exhaust pipe, muffler but.... you just never know.

    Engine oil

    This is after all an International Cub Cadet forum and comparing oil recommendations from late model commercial or industrial kohler engines is getting off topic and only adds to the confusion. What was the original question again? lol

    I seen this at a car, truck, tractor show. It didn't have a for sale sign on it but I thought it was interesting. And, just about everything can be for sale if the right price is offered.

    Primer on engine ?

    I used the cheap black spray can Rustoleum on my new calipers years ago, still there. I don't believe calipers get much hotter than engines unless you're racing. As far as my experiences go, hi-temp, vht paint, etc., when used on exhaust parts will all do the same, whatever is used to carry the...

    Engine oil

    I switched to multi grade oil in all my small engines decades ago, with no known ill effects to my knowledge, and maybe the benefit of a little easier starting during cold Minnesota winters. As far as zinc is concerned, does anyone realize there are many different formulations of the so-called...

    Primer on engine ?

    My experience with heat resistant paint is that it is mostly a scam. I've used everything from automotive paint to spray cans on engines of all kinds, they all hold as well as the so-called heat resistant, well maybe not the cheapest of cheap paints though. If the metal is clean and preferably...

    Primer on engine ?

    Primer sticks to metal better than paint does. Paint sticks to primer better than it does to bare metal even if it is the so called direct to metal type of paint. A light coat of primer on all bare metal will always help with paint adhesion. Catalyst or hardener will usually help paint to cure...

    Primer on engine ?

    Well, possibly, here we go again with the paint on cooling fins discussion. It's not solvable, too much information, not enough actual knowledge. For every theory against painting fins there will be a theory that says the opposite. I will agree that putting on enough paint to clog fins will...

    Red Sticky grease

    I've never heard of red sticky grease. Is there a more technical or brand name for it?

    Whatever your theory for breaking an axle is, you were pushing your CC far beyond its intended use. The number splines on your axle had nothing to do with the failure. I'm surprised the front spindles and axle haven't failed.... Yet.

    Is there a better one of the IH Cadets?

    Has anyone here ever broken an axle using any CC for its factory intended use? What I am asking is, have you broken an axle yourself or only read about it?

    Is there a better one of the IH Cadets?

    I'm not using my CC 149 for pulling or any other type of competition so fine spline axles are of no concern to me. I've read that aluminum rears have a tendency to break or strip bolts without periodic maintenance or a fairly expensive modification. In my case the extra weight of cast iron would...

    rusty primer

    I have no reason to doubt that. But then the truly anal-retentive perfectionist personality restoring a CC would then want the frame and the cast iron parts to be slightly different tint of yellow. :cubwinker:

    Is there a better one of the IH Cadets?

    My guess is that last years of CC with a cast iron rear differential would be among the best choices to make. Are there any IHC CC with a cast iron rear differential and a twin cylinder engine?
