    1250 Hydrostatic won't move

    Lots of info here: http://www.cubfaq.com/questions.html

    1250 Hydrostatic won't move

    Trans filter is plugged, low fluid, release valves stuck internally, or stuck in release position if it is an earlier on with the release lever on the right side of the frame cover.

    Starting to feel guilty. Engine swap

    For what it's worth...My 682, 782, and 1872 all have had their engines replaced with something newer.

    1811 refurbish

    Make sure to get a replacement LH head cover if it didn't come with one. The engine will not cool properly without it.

    Does my 42" mower deck need a tensioner pulley?

    That spring probably isn't going to be stiff enough. The OEM torsion spring is pretty stiff. You also may find that blue belt stretches an inch or more. I have not had good luck with those.

    Parts Wanted For CC 104 and 3 blade, 42" mower deck.

    Light panel has the IH logo- it looks the same with a GE4411 sealed beam lamp on either side of the IH logo. Looks a lot better than cobbling lights onto it somewhere else. First link is for a later tractor that uses 5/8" belts. That will not work. Second link is for a 44" or 50" deck. That...

    Parts Wanted For CC 104 and 3 blade, 42" mower deck.

    Assuming this is for the 104 you posted about in another thread, there is no 'speed-up' pulley available for that particular deck, and why not the OEM light panel that bolts in place of the blank plate in the grille?

    782 engine swap, wiring sanity check

    Yes, take the engine out attached to the plate.

    Motor oil

    I'll say it again...non-detergent oil is not appropriate for use in any Cub Cadet engine.
  13. mgonitzke

    Trans oil change

    3000 series does NOT use HyTran...it uses the Cub Cadet branded "Drive System Plus", or alternatively one of the engine oils mentioned in the hydro unit manual. I am 95% sure the 3000 series have a Hydro-Gear BDU-21 hydro unit, for which the manual is here...

    CC 147 Kohler K321 Head Gasket replacement

    Plastic scraper will work good for the piston. You can use a wire wheel on the valves if you are careful not to hit the piston. Might as well take the valves out and clean/relap them while you are in there.
