    1862 hydraulic leak

    So here's the line, there is one spot that has a shine to it from the clamp. I shut the lights off and shine a bore light in the line, and no light came out. I'm at a loss on this, I thought for sure I'd find the smoking gun, but not yet. Next step is removing the valve again, for a...

    1862 hydraulic leak

    The first few were from a kit, maybe harbor freight kit?, but the last 4 were direct from cub. When I was on the phone with my dealer, he told me of a back up o-ring that is used on the 3000 series. He described it as plastic spacer that pushes harder on the o-ring. I got more o-rings ordered...

    1862 hydraulic leak

    I'm not sure that would work. It's a tube with a shoulder on it that pushes the o-ring inside the boss on the lift valve. It's hard to describe. I just called the dealer I go through, and they put the word out on cubs dealer network, so hopefully there's one new one still on a shelf somewhere...

    Motor opinions needed

    My xt2 and proZ 554s both have the kawasaki. The xt2 is 2 years old and is primarily a snow blower, and I have had zero issues with the tractor or engine in almost 150 hours. My proZ has a 27 🐎 kawi that has been bulletproof in its 375 hours of use. In both machines I average just shy of a...

    1862 hydraulic leak

    My sweet little 1862 cyclops is starting to get irritating. The power steering line that runs to the hydraulic lift valve in the dash, is leaking, and causing my cyclops to piddle on the floor. I've rubbed her nose in it and swatted her butt, but she continues to piddle on the floor! 😜 But...

    Got a year old XT1 LT46 w/ KT725 - 22hp

    If you don't want to spend the money on a new fuel shutoff solenoid, you could just remove it and cut the end off and reinstall it. However, it may, MAY, backfire when you shut the tractor down. I did this on on my grandpa xt2 that has the kawasaki engine, and he hasn't complained of a backfire...

    1450 Cub Cadet, Sleeve Hitch, Back Blade Build

    I'm not sure about your area, but around here in the U.P. of Michigan, every third house has a plow truck. They have really thick cutting edges on them, and when they wear out on the plow, they are is still around 3 1/2 inches tall. I use them for the cutting edge on my grader blade for my...

    Things that Kill my Cub time.

    You have definitely fulfilled your promise to yourself! You need to post a pic of that, those shovels were beautiful! My dad saved up for a few years and traded his kawi 900 for a used shovel head, back in the late 80's. I was just a little shaver then, and I don't remember anything about it...

    Found some pictures

    Those are my favorite two series of cubs! Owning a 1650 and 1862 myself, I completely understand the joys and frustrations those two machines bring you!

    What kind of attachments can be found for a 61 orignal?

    I was waiting for you to post this, and have enjoyed the last 20 minutes because you did! Thank you!!!

    Things that Kill my Cub time.

    Believe it or not, my buddy just stopped in last night for me to look at his cvo soft tail with all the yelling seagull accessories on it. He made me ride it, so I made him ride my z, and my wife followed on her Vulcan. He almost looped my z right out of the driveway!😅 We switched up bikes after...

    Things that Kill my Cub time.

    I'm pretty pumped about it. The pass comes with 3 days instruction from team yamaha riders. That's what I'm the most excited about, actually learning how to be fast, instead of just twisting the throttle and holding on!
