    Booyah!

    Found a good use for an old, unopened gas grill cover...🤣

    1872 hard to start

    Figured I'd get a good answer here before I tried my luck at the world wide web... What Walbro carb is on my Cub? I bought a rebuild kit back in the summer before I knew it had a walbro, so basically I just cleaned it up good and put it back together. Seemed to be ok for the time but now, if I...

    PTO switch locking nut

    So I got a new PTO switch from the local Cub dealer / repair shop and it came without a locking nut. The one I took off my 1872 was boogered up because a previous owner tried tacking it with a welder. I contacted the dealer / repair shop and they have none, cannot get any and none of the...

    Fuel pump or no fuel pump?

    My brother scored a 1541 for really cheap and transferred the Magnum engine over into his 782. Now on trying to start it, he found gas and oil coming out of the carb. Long story short, I told him to check the crankcase and sure enough,gas in the oil so while he waits for the carb rebuild kit...

    Sprayers and weed control

    Well, it's been so dry and hot here in PA that lawn work has been very minimal, but the weeds have been taking over with a vengeance. I've bought several pump sprayers over the past few years and they all quit after a year or two... and it's not like they get used every weekend. Which leads to...

    Weber eats

    Decided to try something today, nothing fancy, chuck roast with McCormick dry rub and salt. 3 hours with some mesquite... I'm impressed and ready to step it up a notch! Have a great weekend everyone 👍😎👍

    M18 hot

    While I screw around fixing the hack job of wiring on my 1872, I decided to fire it up and take the little guy for a ride up and down the street in a cart. Figured it hadn't run in over 2 months, best run it a little bit. While trying to start it, I found the tank completely empty. So now I have...

    Quitline tip

    Maybe I'm late to the game but, I found out today (out of necessity) that you can use a 5/8" deck pulley from the newer model 38, 44 and 50C decks, with a 1/2 x 78" belt on the Quietlines that use 3/8" belts and it works fantastic. I'd planned on using my 1872 to mow but just found out the PTO...

    Decks

    With spring arriving, it's soon going to be time to mow. I am curious about how my 50" deck will perform on the 1872... I know my 1450 has the same style with a speed up pulley and it works, for the most part, decent. I'd expect the same from the 50". The 54" deck under my parent's 1864 is, for...

    What to do?

    With my purchase of an 1872, it's time to thin the herd a bit... I currently have a 1450 that's been nothing short of reliable, but I'm most likely going to sell it. I also have a 1650 that I bought cheap and a 124 I bought in pieces... and it's still in pieces. The side shields, fender pan and...

    CCC982

    I'm looking at a later 982 - CCC made. It has the Kohler 20 in it instead of the Onan. My question is, did these have power steering like the 1872's (with the cylinder on the left side of the frame)? - from the picture I can't see one, but I also saw mentioned on another site that later 982's...

    Stator magnets

    My brother broke a magnet in two after it dropped to the floor. Is it possible to epoxy or JB weld it back together and reuse it or is that not a good idea? 🤔

    Magnum engines

    What's the difference between the Magnum engines? My brother just scored a Magnum 15 to replace a worn out 14 horse my uncle had installed in his 782 that my brother now has... We were told the engines are the same but different carbs determine the HP. I tend to think there's more to it but is...

    Roof painting tips

    Thought some of you might be able to help me with some tips. My old metal roof (think corrugated "tin" ) is going to be replaced in a year or two but for the time being I've rented a boom lift to paint it with the black, fibered roof paint (think "tar") to seal it up and prolong it's life until...

    PTO trouble

    Got a one for you guys...I'm at work, cub's at home but I thought I'd post quick to see if anyone's experienced this... My son was using the 1450 to mow Sunday afternoon, slowed down the cub to idle in order to move my little guy's trampoline but he didn't turn off the deck (I told him never...

    2086 questions

    I'm entertaining the idea of purchasing a 2086. At just over 500 hours, I'd assume this is kinda low, correct? Also, I'm aware of the plastic ring gear failure on the Kawasaki motor and the need to upgrade to the later model steel gear. But are there other factors that might persuade me to pass...
