Cub Cadet XT1 Garden Tractor - Basic Servicing

HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 23 окт 2020
  • Real world garden tractor servicing including the difficult bits like the wayward oil drain pipe - and the solution to keeping the oil in the pan. The fuel filter was tough to remove as well. Oil and filter change, fuel filter change, inflate tires, lubricate wheel bearings. Change air filter and pre-filter.

    No need to prefill a horizontal filter. It will not only make a mess as shown in the video when you tip it, but will fill when you fill the crankcase. Also cut a piece of cardboard or an old plastic container and use under the filter prior to taking it off so the oil drains away into the pan and not all over your frame.

      Aluminum foil also works well to redirect the oil since it does not absorb the oil and you can easily mold it to "funnel" down to your oil pan.

    I bought an old Club Cadet from a local "personality" whose lawn is festooned with mowers of all kinds, that he adopts, supposedly fixes up, and then resells. Had to replace just about everything once I got it home and running. Hired an 18-yo with his own Lawncare company to diagnose the issues & do the work. Runs like a charm now. I had never mown a lawn in my life until moved here. Always had a man to do that. Now on my own on a little farm. I have absolutely no idea about lawnmowers but believe it is my job to know the basics. I'll probably keep the 18 yo on hand to do all the work you're doing here, as he has the mechanics' tools and know how. But I still am forcing myself to learn some skills. I appreciate the silent approach here. Too much yammering on RUclips.

    You’ve got to try the Amsoil saber in there for oil. I started running it in mine and it is verifiably cooler, smoother, and better running. Cleaned up a lot of gunk I had in there too. I also run a wix filter on it.

    Nice, I got the xt1 50 last summer. So do you change everything ever spring time. Like you did. And why did you rub the filter thing in the oil.

    • @PicRic
      @PicRic  3 года назад +7

      Hi BigAl, I change the oil when the exhaust fumes begin to smell. It's a sign the oil is past it and needs to be changed. It will also have gone very dark at this point. That might be once or twice in a year depending on use. The fuel filter is changed when the gas in it is looking a bit too dark as well. The air filter I change about once a year and the pre-filter oiling is recommended by the manufacturer. Greasing the joints is done a couple of times a year. When I first got the tractor, six years ago, I did everything by the book but after the first year I figured I could customize the maintenance to better match my usage.

      It was an accessory that I got from Home Depot a few years ago now.

      The service is based on the recommendations in the manuals that CC supplied with the tractor. It is five years old now so I guess their recommendations have changed.
