    1450 cub

    Better recommendation than a 50 year old garden tractor for someone that isn't into the hobby like most of us? Yeah... anything modern. Most disposable riding mowers produced now will last at least 10 years with proper maintenance, and parts are easily obtainable. Heck home Depot and almost all...

    reycling an elec.vehicle..

    In the Chevy pickup line of hybrid vehicles, the answer is no. My brother just went through this, this past week. He was the tech that assigned to repair this vehicle. GM's diagnostic process takes 13 hours of labour (book time) to test components and harnesses, before you can verify the dead...

    Won't start

    I'm my engines, if it has a fuel shutoff, it gets turned off. Weather it's my atv, chipper, tractors, don't matter. If it's there, it's there for a reason!

    I added another, but she aint a cub

    I was the youngest of 8 grandkids, so my older brother, and cousins always got to run the tractor, and I had to stay at the house and help Grandma. Which I hated at the time, my dad and Grandpa said I was to much to handle out in the field, so I stayed at the house until they got back. When they...

    not looking but 2 fell into my lap

    I'm not familiar at all with the supers, but on your 1862, the hydraulic lines coming into and out of the lift valve on the dash, are impossible to get! So if you scrap that unit, please pull those lines off, and save them!!! I've had a local machine shop make adapters to JIC fittings, so I can...

    need serious input on k17 kohler

    Gary, Matt and 1811 are probably correct on a stuck ring. I had a 351w that had a stuck ring once. My grandpa told me to add a quart of kerosene to the oil and drive it 100 miles or so. After about 10 miles, the smoke cleared up. The rings must have cleaned up. I then changed the oil, and never...

    I'm about a 3 hour drive North of Green Bay WI. That's the nearest "big" city. But yes, it's definitely God's country up here! We have a saying "The U.P. of Michigan, where the men are men, and so are the women!"😂

    need serious input on k17 kohler

    Gary, isavetractors has a rebuild for the kt 17 in stock. I'm not sure it's the same as what you're working on. I rebuilt a 17hp Kohler opposed twin that was shooting corn and smoke out the exhaust about 15 years ago. I didn't think it was a hard or complicated engine to work on. Your shovel...

    Dave, here my little corn sprouts! Not bad for as late as we got to plant this year! And as cool as it's been so far. We've only had 2 days hit 70° so far.

    I've been in Pella this week, most of the corn is about knee high already. I just got mine planted about 2 weeks ago and was happy it's all sprouting!

    Value

    Without pictures, multiple, so people can evaluate it's condition, and a region of the country the unit is in, is impossible to give an accurate, or even a semi close estimate of value. And, we have no idea what factory options the unit has, some are very desirable and valuable, others, don't...
