    1864 drive shaft grease points

    A agree with Ipalma. I have a 1993 1864 and yes there are two grease zerks, one at each end but the boot. I hit them each spring before the mowing season. The only thing I will say is I can't find any aftermarket manufacturers for the boots. Then tend with time to loosen up by where they...

    Parts Wanted Kohler model CV490S

    I believe it is a 2002 model and he got it very cheap. I'm just looking for a cheap solution for my neighbor. Big family and a single income. I would love to find a used motor or the cheapest way to get it running again. Everything else works good and is a hydrostatic drive. Head looks good...

    Parts Wanted Kohler model CV490S

    Got a friend who has a Cub Cadet with a Kohler model CV490S engine. The tractor is not running and had no compression. Got it to the shop and ended up pulling the head off of it and it looks like some serious damage has happened internally. Basically the piston does not move when the crank is...

    Pretty sure I got my money's worth

    Good question. Some parts are getting harder to find. Love to put a new cowling on it but I'm pretty sure those are now obsolete also. Had to do some hard searching just to find the boots for the shaft drive. No longer available, had to find used in decent condition and make them work...

    Pretty sure I got my money's worth

    I was going to get the 1863, did not see the need for the power steering. Dealer threw it in for free to seal the deal. Glad I have it! I also got the optional 54 inch deck. One heck of a grass eating machine. Growing up I used a JD 120. Had a smaller deck on it and never cut grass very...

    Pretty sure I got my money's worth

    You got a good eye! The GTO is waiting its turn for restoration. Got a couple 1964 Olds in the shop. A 88 convertible and a Jetstar 1. I plan on putting the interior, seats, and console from the Jetstar in the convertible. I was never a fan of the Slim Jim tranny and 394 engine. Got a 425...

    Pretty sure I got my money's worth

    Here is my Cadet 1864 that purchased new back in 1993 when my wife and I purchased our first house. After the initial break in period I only put Mobil 1 10w30 oil in it. Over the years I have had to pull the engine 3 times for oil leaks at the crankshaft, cleaning up the cooling fins on the...

    1864 Cadet PTO Clutch bearing R and R

    Sorry if this has been discussed before but I just could not stomach what Cub Cadet wants for a replacement PTO clutch assy (the early clutch assy that requires adjustment). About the only thing I find that goes bad on mine is the sealed bearing that rides on the PTO pulley. Bearing starts...

    Considering purchasing a 451 snow thrower

    Possibly, the big difference is I will be putting all the weight on two drive wheels. This is a heavy commercial grade Toro snow thrower. Tall skinny tires with a very aggressive tread. If I do need chains at least they will spin less that what I was considering with the 1864 set up with only...

    Considering purchasing a 451 snow thrower

    Thanks for everyone's input. After some time thinking about this set up I decided to purchase a new commercial Toro snow thrower. My driveway is sealed asphalt and I really don't want to use chains. There is a bit of drop where the driveway meets the main road and I'm afraid on turf tires I...

    Considering purchasing a 451 snow thrower

    What are mounting this to? Does it feel very front heavy when you raise it up? Using much wheel weights to make this all work? Dean

    Considering purchasing a 451 snow thrower

    No gravel but about 200 ft of sealed asphalt driveway. Putting this on my 1864 garden tractor. Do ya need much wheel weight to keep this moving forward? (This will have 350lbs of driver on top of it). Dean

    Considering purchasing a 451 snow thrower

    I am considering a used 451 snow thrower for my 1864 Cub. To those who have these throwers what experiences have you had with yours? Any problems with them? Dean

    Drive shaft seals

    New to the forum. I have a garden series Cadet 1864. Been a great tractor and over the years it has needed a few parts and never been an issue until now. The drive shaft to the hydraulic drive has two seals that are coming apart on my tractor. Found this when the input shaft to the...
