    XT1 LT46 convert from stamped to Welded deck???

    Nope, I'm referring to how your blades are turned on. It is common in the garden tractor world to use the terms electric clutch and electric pto as the same. The xt1 I believe has a lever that engaged the blades. The bottom of the lever is connected to a cable, that cable in turn provides belt...

    never too old to ride a cub

    Well done Gary! You didn't get the cub, but you saved it just the same! Well done.

    XT1 LT46 convert from stamped to Welded deck???

    I have an xt2 with the 46" welded deck. I'm not sure if it's available in the xt1 or not, but the attachment points are all the same. You can swap a 42" with a 54", of course the belts would be different, but to hang it under the tractor, the are all the same. I used my dad's 54" deck while my...

    Steering wheel removal

    While sitting in the seat of the tractor, install steering wheel nut until it is flush with the top of the steering shaft. Using your thighs and knees, apply pressure to steering wheel from the under side, while doing so, tap the steering wheel nut with a hammer, I typically use a 40oz dead...

    best way to remove decals

    Most any parts store with a paint section will sell an eraser wheel. When I worked as a service tech at a Ford dealer years ago, the detailer used them to remove bumper stickers, and the like off of paint with no damage to the painted surface. Last week when I took my raptor in for an extensive...

    Montgomery reel mower attachment

    Depends how bad you want it. I've never seen one, but if I ever do, I'll tell the seller to shut up and take my money! Probly just throw my wallet at him! That is an absolutely awesome attachment that I'd love to find. I hope you get it, so we can hear more about it!

    DBJ 2015 Cub Cadet LT50

    I hope this doesn't seem like a stupid question, but did you check the fuse? I sincerely hope that's not it, but you made no mention of it.

    1862 hydraulic leak

    Lewis, yup, that's exactly how I put it together. Dgeary, the shoulder of the tube is slightly proud of the valve when it's tightened down. The clamp angle match perfect to the other clamp. There has to be a tiny burr in the hole that I can't see/ feel. Or a small pin hole in the tube that I...

    1862 hydraulic leak

    So, I finally found time to get back to this pain in butt cyclops. I completely removed the valve, AND... found nothing obvious. I just tried to use the back up oring my dealer told me cub used on the 3000 series. That didn't work either. Part number 721-0492, put in behind the o-ring. What to...

    Today's project

    You should feel lucky, when I replaced the shocks for my raptor, they were $1200 a piece from ford, the only place that had them available at the time. Luckily I found a place out of Texas that could rebuild them, and they ONLY charged $550 a piece for a rebuild! AND they told me those fox...

    Can't find a starter for a Cub Cadet LT42. Weird!

    Man, that sucks. The positive though, since that was the cub branded engine, you can now upgrade to the engine of your choice! Briggs, Kohler, Kawasaki for example. I know which one I'd look for, but now you have options on putting in a better, more reliable power plant, that has parts readily...

    Monkeying around in Shultzie's garage

    Get those kids interested in engines, and they'll never have money for drugs!!! That's what my dad and grandpa did, and I've never lost my love for an old briggs or kohler!

    SPRING IS HERE!!

    In Michigan, bass, pike, walleye, pretty much any sport fish, has a season for keeping them. Catch and immediate release is open year round. But the state is extremely goofy on the regulations. It is mainly to keep fisherman from targeting and keeping spawning fish. Some years we still have ice...

    Service recommendation for k241AS

    Any of the budget torque wrenches are gonna be accurate enoughish. Harbor freight torque wrenches tend to be fairly ok in the higher range of the wrench, but I know of a few that won't click on the lower end. If I were buying one at harbor, I'd get the beam type. Other "higher end" big box...
