Congrats on a clever fix. I have an LTX 1046 bought new in 2013 and yes it came with a piece of clear tube for draining oil but you are right the factory design is crap. Pulled so hard once with mine I pulled the yellow piece completely off. Since has always been a leaky spot. Gotta look into your fix.

You did a great job on that.....the bolt that has a pin with spring on it is there a small pin that holds it in place.....? Thanks Rick

I’ve had ALL these same problems and now the starter just like years lol… thanks for the video I will head to the supply store tomorrow

I own a 1984 782 d diesel cub cadet I love it a great lawn mower

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HEOP

Changing oil in my d14 Alice tractor and put a little diesel fuel dip stick hole and it ran right on Dow’s to my pan drain hole , then I put some in my oil fill hole and it didn’t come out, I just bought tractor and oil was black so I’m changing it.i wonder why the diesel fuel won’t come out. I only put a little in it, should I use more

What was the belt number?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. I HAVE CUB CADET LTX 1050 I HAVE THIS PROBLEM TO

If you really want the zerk fittings where you can grease the spindles easier,, you can get the fitting needed to run remote grease lines up through the deck and a block just under one step so you can pump the grease with even removing the deck. Yes, it is a pain in the ass, but only once!

Question;; Why is there a zerk fitting each spindle when MTD used sealed bearings??

Always and I means always test the selinoid before removing it. The wire coming from the ignition switch can be energized to make the selinoid function, it will 13:21 click which is the inner contacts coming together. If your wiring to the starter is hooked up still it will also engage the starter. If it clicks and no starter engagement then test for power coming and going to and through the selinoid. If power is not going thru then most likely the selinoid contacts are of issue, replace. If power going thru selinoid then test for power at the starter. If power is at the starter terminal then the starter is of issue. If no power is at the starter but power is at the selinoid starter side the check the wire and its connections.

Junk parts cause issues. Bad engineering causes issues. If there was a high amp relay used between the switch and the PTO it would solve so many issues.

Those wires should be held on to the hub with a permanent magnet like household deep fryer power cords to allow breakaway. Worst thing ever added to a simple lawnmower, converted mine to idler pulley. Now l have very smooth engagement

Thanks for this video. After replacing my deck belt, I ran into a problem with my pto blowing fuses. Turns out, I stupidly didn’t use my belt guard to hold my pto clutch. Now to check for a broken wire! I struggled trying to figure out what was supposed to hold the clutch housing in place because the belt guard doesn’t show any signs of wear. This video showed me what I had been suspecting. Hopefully I won’t have to resort to the wiring hack, but at least it is in my tool bag if I do need it. Did I mention I can be a complete idiot at times?

Does anyone have a tip for reconnecting the deck to the mower, at the back? I am having a heck of a time getting the black spring things to get through the holes on the black arms. The ones that lift the deck. Should I take the cables off?

I think the spring stud is in the wrong hole

Too many useless words. Also all action is off camera only results are showing. Really video can be just one minute long.

square hole on plate is made for small breaker bar or a 3/8" ratchet after I change belts grunting and sweating I found the square hole makes it 100 times easier to get belt on...thank you

Which way do the pulleys go on? Looks like one goes the opposite of the other

from a tree health standpoint a flush cut, especially that big is not good for the tree. A smaller cut that avoids the collar and the ridge of the bark will compartmentalize better.

Video was a big help. Thanks.

I made the mistake the first time of not getting the bracket right around the pto clutch,and when I engaged it,it jerked the wiring out of the pto clutch. 170 bucks later for a new pto clutch from Amazon and I was good to go. Lol

Cub Cadet lawn tractors are pure JUNK !!! Get ready for many costly repairs especially if you have the Kohler Courage engine JUNK !!!

Time to replace a LED headlight. Dam Mercedes uses cheap plastic easy to break.

Always good to run across a deal. Need a generator myself to juice up my batteries if I run out of sun for a few days. You can get a switch to switch power from the utility to generator if you want to do that with a single switch. It'll get a little involved because you'll need to run your utility power through the switch as well as the generator, the output being tied to your mains. It will never be a bumpless transfer but it'll prevent generator power from ever being tied to utility power or vice versa. Ask for a break before make switch.

The pulleys have shoulders allowing them to tightened without any effect with the bearings ability to spin freely, so tighten them like you mean it!

This was no help u fast forward the replacement

This is really great video. I just got my first 782. You will be a wonderful resource. Of all the videos I have watched you have the smoothest running engine I have ever heard. Great work! Thanks Greg

Why do you think putting a simple 3/8" tube on the plug before turning valve on is "silly"??? That I do believe is the exact reason it was designed as it is.... I don't see how adding a dollar worth of tubing for a clean oil change would be considered "silly"??? 🤔🤔

Too much talking in circles

I'm buying an amazing condition one delivered to me for $975, (the guy is really nice) I hope it works out okay.

Thank you

Love this “Ruth Stout” method as the effort required (very little) matches my temperament. We’ve had success similar to yours over the past couple years, but nothing as big as those monsters!

Was it worth saving $16 by skipping the gasket? Or was that savings eaten up by the right stuff gasket maker and having to drain and replace the antifreeze? I have a D15 with a similar issue so just curious. Thanks for posting these videos, they’re really helpful!

Thanks

Great addition to splitter. Need sub to your channel. Let me know if you're interested in being a part of my firewood addicts podcast series on my channel. Keep cuttin'!

Your wife deserves an extra hug. Those tables are often on back order for months at a time. I have been so happy since I got mine and got it installed. *Careful on the size of rounds you flop up there!* a 24" or fatter gets really heavy, fast. I finally learned to at least 1/2 the larger ones with the splitter set vertical. Then its off to the races. Oh, and for anyone with an older Huskee version of this splitter, the Table does fit, regardless of what TSC claims. Happy splitting!

Put mine in park and now it will not move

We have idler pulley that may fit your lawn mower. We can provide for free. Do you need?

The keys were not in until the last time you tried c'mon ppl

How to replace a drive pully on cub cadet 1040

I just got done on a total re-hab of a d14. Guy down the road had a 3-bottom allis plow for super cheap so i picked it up. Have not used it yet, but i am concerned that the d14 will have enough "ump" to pull a 3-bottom. Anyone have an allis d series and have tried to pull a 3-bottom plow?

You can get the clasp off where it locks on at the folds over point pop out the spring loaded pin and lay the watch flat

Bad thing about 100 percent American chestnut is by the time they get mature the bark starts cracking and the blight takes over, if your lucky and there isolated enough they may live longer, but its eventually gonna happen! Good luck, hope there still alive cause animals love to destroy them

How much are tickets to your next show 🤔

It would be nice to hear you

The video was only 10 minutes! I don't understand why people are complaining about too much talking for a solution that is effective. I used a dyson hairdryer for about 90 seconds and my driver's side window rolled right up on my 1999 ML320. Thank you for taking the time and effort putting the video together. 👍🙏

Thanks for showing how you put everything back on

The metal from the stove radiates heat. Why put something blocking the heat from staying in the stove? Seems to me like a baffle would do more than blocking the heat from the metal. I use a stove thats about a hundred years old. Never had an issue. I made a baffle out of stainless steel because it exhausts out the back to prevent the fire/heat from escaping through the chimney. I use fire brick on the bottom and sides and said baffle. That's it. You're putting degrading materials into a fire. Makes no sense. I use a virginian model 102 and love it. Heats my 2500 sq/ft house.

My mower just did dame thing. Believe mines the LT 1050. But was mowing just died. No power when turn key. Followed positive cable. It goes from it toward solenoid. Into a cable protector. No fuses that can see. The battery on this ones up front top. Since seeing this will try look at back. Dont think has access like the LTX. All original from what can see but why no fuse. Gets me. Pretty sure the headlight wires fell and grounded out. All could see out of ordinary. Will update few if they run all the way back then back up. Which i dont see. Found was on outside frame great place but had cobwebs on. Under the seat is the fuel tank. Think better design then the LTX 1050. Things been a bull. Used almost 20 years on 5 acres. New ones are like 24 hp. Or less this 25 hp. Have replaced belts and blades few times. Climbs a steep hill. Not to endorse. But old cub cadet. Is a beast.
