    Cub Cadet Loader/Backhoe model 7205

    Diesels definitely like the heat anyway you can provide it.My question for you is whats the viscosity of your oil.Thick oil will definitely slow the rotation

    1450 engine securing/mounting bolts fell out

    Not a bad idea to periodically check bolts on these old girls as vibration does do wonders and when one gets loose,now things happen

    Why does nobody want these things?

    Those of us on this site own and use our old Cubs to work and as an enjoyable hobby.We love to tinker,then go out use them,enjoy the operating the old girls.We bring them in,and evaluate the fun we had,now we grease,adjust belts,blow off grass,check and tighten bolts.Its probably not what the...

    Coil problem?

    I have an older interstate brand battery that shows signs its getting to the end.Since I have two tractors,I alternate,if I plan on using my 125 in a day or so I check the voltage,if its down I slow charge it,after starting and using it,I check voltage while running at full throttle vs volt...

    Coil problem?

    What I do,works for me,is I try to check temps periodically on components for a running average.My 125 is running good,if it starts to stutter, I have a baseline. I do the same with my mower deck bearings.Its a another tool in a guys arsenal.Different tool,but I use a multimeter on my electrical...

    Coil problem?

    A really hot coil is never a good thing,your remarks about resting the tractor for a spell tells me you are on to something. I have a digital temp gun that I have in my arsenal.I use it often,especially on mower bearings,try one,what the heck!Good luck

    Wits end with twisted PTO belts

    Please buy an O.E.M belt after extensive checking of the pulleys,bearings and alignment as previous replys have stated.As many previous owners with problems have found out,not all belts have the ability or design to stand up.The parts she was designed for,in the long term,is usually a cheaper...

    Won't start

    I don't recommend starting fluid.I don't recommend ethanol in the gas.If the gas is over 30 days,I would drain and replace with fresh.I would take out the plug,put a squirt of gas in the cylinder.hopefully you followed Diggers advice,it should go

    SG Question

    Do you have a shop where you could take the SG ?Seems like you have tried just about everything!

    Spindle cap left side

    Like Matt said a bolt won't get enough tension,a coil pin is the proper part.Here is what I did and I'm not saying its the best way.I wish I still worked in the machine shop I would bring home a adjustible reamer,easy peasy.But they are expensive and I don't have access any more.So I purchased...

    Best model opinion?

    I have a 125 that really does a nice job mowing.My only wish is it had a removable tunnel. I have broken it to work on the hydro linkage and its not difficult,but does take some time.A removable cover would let me keep things cleaner and maybe catch any problems from developing.I'm not sure when...

    K301 Timing Mark HELP!?

    The original marks thru the small hole most definitely are tough.When you have it apart,use a dremel to clean it up. Carefully paint with a safety color after a dimple with a center punch. Good luck,sounds like a ornery one

    Missing part question

    Even tho its a fairly intensive job to break down your tractor,it gives you a chance to inspect,adjust or replace parts that may need work in the future.If you don't have the tool, chase one down.Its always nice to know,everthing is working like it should

    hydro linkage

    Don't skimp on the pliers and and be prepared to find the ring if it goes flying.Dont overthink this by taking to many parts apart.

    Install belts on 105

Previous owner maybe had different ideas.The sponsors on the top of the page have...

    Question for the Narrow Frame Experts

    I was only stating what works for me MadMonkMort.I bought my 125 jury rigged up before I had joined this forum and I knew a thing about these old Cubs.I pay a lot of attention to the knowledgeable guys who share pictures and experiences with the others.I now know I paid to much back in the...
