Cub Cadet XT1 Engine Tune Up

- In this video I show you how to replace your: air filter, fuel filter, oil and filter, and spark plugs. I bought my kit from tractor supply for $56 total. It takes approx 25-45 mins to do the entire job with basic hand tools.

Great no-nonsense , no fancy background music, right to the point information. Thanks.
Thanks my friend. I try to be thorough and to the point. Thanks for the feedback.
hey other you tube instructional wannabees... watch this guy. succinct. thank you!
Thanks so much Steve. I truly appreciate the feedback. Glad to have helped ya.
The spark plug gap chart and model match list was a lifesaver thanks
You got it brother. Thanks for the feedback.
best lesson I've seen specific to my model cub cadet! Thanks!
Glad to help Ralph.
Headed out to the shop to do my tune up, now. Thank you for the step by step.
Let me know how you make out Ann. If you have any questions I’m always around for advice.
what kind of oil
The one in the video or equivalent!
Thanks for the tutorial. I would add a number of things. I think this was a great opportunity to show how things are done but 23 hours is a little early for a lot of that maintenance. Oil change interval on that engine is first change at 5 hours (it has break in oil installed) and after that cub cadet recommends every 50 hours. Kohler recommends every 100 hours. Most people seem to do it at the end of the season unless they are putting a lot of hours on it. Kohler sells a long interval oil kit as well for 300 hours but I'm not sure I'd feel confident going that long.
The Air Filter looked really good, and the prefilter is washable, just let it air dry before reinstalling it.
The fuel filter clearly had spectacular flow and was not in need of replacement yet. Sparkplugs generally shouldn't need to be replaced this early either, clamping it off can prevent the gasoline spills. Yours looked to be in excellent condition.
For spark plugs, you can actually clean them up in your case (some ash and carbon but nothing serious) and regap them as long as the electrode isn't eroded and the ceramic is not cracked or discolored Assuming of course, that they were otherwise performing well.)
Great info all around brother. I made the video to show people how to do it if they have to. I know I could have done everything as you said. Thanks for the good info again and thanks for the feedback my brother.
I have a 42” and this is a good video! Next thing I have to do is align the front wheels. I just leveled the blades. I got this bad boy last year with 17 hours and paid $1k!
Great deal for sure. Let me know how you make out or if you have any questions. Thanks for the support my friend.
Great lesson, thanks for the instructions. I'm doing mine today!!!
That’s cool brother. Let me know how you make out or if you have any questions.
I just did the whole job. Went smooth, running like new again. I also followed another guys advice about cleaning out the old dead grass from under the seat area where the controls for F & R are. Also a great improvement. Like a new machine. I have over 100 hours now. Thank you
@@stevebrighttheblackguitar653 awesome brother. Keep it mowing lol.
This is very helpful! Thanks!
Your very welcome Carol. I’m glad I could help.
Exactly what I was looking for. Super helpful and subbed. Thank you!
Much appreciated my friend. Thanks for the subscription.
Very helpful, thank you tons.
Glad to help brother.
Good lesson, thanks
You got it brother, thanks for the feedback. Keep on rocking my brother.
Thank you very clearly done👍
You got it brother.
Very good awesome job
You’re very welcome brother. Thanks for the feedback!
Love this
You got it my friend.
Great job
Much appreciated my friend. Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for this detailed video! I have an LTX 1040 Automatic with a Kohler Courage 19 engine , and it is pretty close to yours. of this video. This will be the video to watch over and over until I master the process . When I turn the key, I saw 72.3 hours, and I have no idea that it means since I am not the original owner.
Congrats on the newly acquired tractor. The hours mean nothing without knowing the last time they maintained it. If I were you I would definitely do a tune up now so at least you know it was done and then you have more info till the next time it’s due. Let me know how you make out and if you have any questions.

I am ordering the parts tonight for the tune-up. Thank you for the advice!
Thank you!
You got it brother.
Great info brother! I was not even aware that a kit like this existed. Do the spark plugs come pre-gapped ? I would think they would...
They did come pre gapped but it doesn’t hurt to double check. Good ole tractor supply! Glad to help brother and thanks for the feedback.
Would you consider using a small clamp on the gas line before removing the gas filter? Perhaps that would limit the spillage. Great video!
You can use a small vise grip. The small amount of spill isn’t that much brother. You don’t want to damage the line so use caution and you’ll be good to go. Let me know how you make out and thanks for the feedback.
Pinch that gas line off with some vice grips on the tank side it won't spill much
Lol I should have, thanks for the tip brother.
Is this the spring video you talked about in the winter video? Where’s the part about lubricating all the points?🤷♀️
Stay tuned I’ll have a video coming this week on the lubricating the chassis.
@@MrV2u can you list the lubricant that you’re going to use so I can go pick it up, too? Thanks 😊
@@yellowlingling748 www.homedepot.com/p/Core-Gear-14-oz-Standard-Duty-Grease-Gun-CG321/205744125? Is the grease gun I use. And for the grease I like www.homedepot.com/p/Lucas-Oil-14-oz-Red-N-Tacky-Grease-10005/202521504?
@@MrV2u thanks! I’m at Home Depot now
I forgot to tell you get a white lithium grease spray as well. Any brand is ok.
Just came across this. Oil Capacity for this model is 2 Qts. 1.9L.
Your correct boss.
I have not started the tractor since last season. Can we still drain the oil out without running the tractor to warm it up? It’s like 65 degrees?🤷♀️ What do you recommend?
Start it up and get it warm. It’s not going to harm anything. You want the contaminants to get all mixed up and it helps with making the oil drain faster/properly too.
@@MrV2u ok. Thanks. I’ll see how that goes😰😉
@@yellowlingling748 you got this. Have faith and get er done my friend.
@@MrV2u you think I can use hemostat clamps on the gas lines so it does not squirt out gas when I change the gas filter?
@@yellowlingling748 that’ll work no problem.
How do you reset the replace air filter code. Thanks
It should clear itself out after cleaning or replacing the filter.
you forgot to oil pre-filter
It’s not needed at all.
I cringed when I saw you pull of that air filter and all the dirt and debris that could have fallen in the carb. Please, blow it all off and remove the foam pre filter before taking off the paper filter.
Good idea brother. Nothing fell in though I’m sure. I did take it off camera first. Thanks for the feedback my friend.
Omg ur tractor is super clean do u even use it ?
If I didn't see the grass on the wheels I would think u never did Thanx for video very interesting . My tractor sucks but it is what it is lol🚜
@@annettevee1557 lol I keep my equipment as clean as possible. Take care of your equipment and it will last and take care of you. My papi always told me that.
@@MrV2u I agree. Keep it as clean as you can. But things get busy and sometimes you can only do what you can. I'm guilty of not keeping everything like I should. That's what winter is for. Slow times mean clean equipment. Plus it helps seasonable employees to have a paycheck for as long as possible.
@@unti419 winter for me is full of the next yard chore. Extreme snow blowing. Get er done brother.
