    1330 only runs on gas poured down carb

    Simple! There's no free lunch in a free enterprise economy and even the sponsors of this site must learn to compete. Having used them in the past I found them; (1) too slow, (2) too expensive and (3) not providing good customer service like Amazon with free shipping if a return was necessary...

    1330 only runs on gas poured down carb

    I merely shared my experiences with liam.gilpatrick in response to the problems he enumerated and what worked well for me. He can make up his own mind regarding what (if any) of it he chooses to accept and what (if any) rebuild kit he wants to use. But you seem to have a bone of contention...

    1330 only runs on gas poured down carb

    I’ve experienced the same problem on two of my Cubs in the past. I own five (5) Cub Cadet Lawn tractors and do all my own maintenance. I use these lawn tractors to mow the ~2 acres of lawn we have and a snow blower is permanently attached to one of the 1330’s to clear our driveway in the winter...

    Seized rear wheel on Cub Cadet 1330

    As a follow-up I tried using heat, PB Blaster penetrant with a wheel puller and a three-pound sledgehammer to encourage the wheel to let go of the axle shaft but to no avail. All that I accomplished was the bending of the wheel. Finally, since I had a spare rear wheel and tire from a donor...

    Seized rear wheel on Cub Cadet 1330

    I need some practical advice from anyone who's had a similar problem with removing the tightly (and I mean tightly) seized rear wheel like the one on my Cub Cadet 1330. The rear wheel has a flat requiring a tube or new tire and I've tried everything found on YouTube to remove the rear wheel...

    1450 need help.

    Another possibility could be a leaking exhaust valve.

    Cub Cadet 1330 with 190-350 snow blower won't start

    Another reason for cheap Chinese carburetors not working properly on the Kohler 12.5 hp vertical shaft engine on the Cub Cadet 1330 and the work around.

    Cub Cadet 1330 moves but brake rotor isn't spinning, and the tractor can't be moved with the engine off by engaging the dump lever.

    Update: After several hours of piddling (as my wife calls it) I successfully finished installation of the new BDU-10S-215 hydro pump onto the transaxle for the Cub Cadet 1330. It now works flawlessly and with more power than it has in years. But to make the lawn tractor work properly after...

    Cub Cadet 1330 moves but brake rotor isn't spinning, and the tractor can't be moved with the engine off by engaging the dump lever.

    As a follow-up, I discovered that all the couplers in the transaxle were in good shape but the replacement Hydro pump I purchased and installed on my Cub Cadet 1330 lawn tractor wasn't. The Hydros on these model lawn tractors are the weakest part of the machine. Although disappointing it was...

    Cub Cadet 1330 moves but brake rotor isn't spinning, and the tractor can't be moved with the engine off by engaging the dump lever.

    I don’t know if this is the proper forum, but I need help with a parts problem. Two weeks ago, my wife's Cub Cadet 1330 quit moving while she was mowing as the result of a failed hydrostatic pump. A new pump at nearly a thousand dollars is far more than the tractor is worth. But attempting to...

    Motor oil

    This is probably not the forum for an economic discussion but in response to your comment it's not just governmentally determined minimum wage, but odious, unnecessary and arguably unconstitutional government regulations stacked on the shoulders of free enterprise that when combined with...

    Guy from Maine with a 1330

    More accurately it's the hydrostatic pump on your transaxle that's leaking, and the leakage indicates either that the seals are failing, or the hydro pump isn't getting sufficiently cooled by the hydro fan due to a oil and debris covering and insulating the transaxle or a missing cooing fan (Cub...

    Dead mower

    All mechanically sound engines require three things to run: (1) fuel, (2) air and (3) electrical spark. In diagnosing what's causing your engine to not run I would start by eliminating what it isn't to find out what it is. A shot of starter fluid should help confirm whether it is getting...

    My cheap Cub Cadet 1330

    I own two five (5) Cub Cadet 1330's and (2) Cub Cadet 1320's (it's a long story). All of them are in service and operate well. The only real difference between these two models is that the 1330 has an electric PTO clutch. One of the 1330 lawn tractor's I own has been dedicated with a...

    Jim was a shining light of kindness in a world that desperately needs more like him. He was taken far to young! Deepest condolences.

    Kohler CV 12.5 engine

    Update! I'd already replaced the solenoid, cleaned the battery cables and electrical connections, switched starters with my other Cub Cadet 1330 (which works properly) yet the starting problem remained! But not giving up as a last-ditch effort to diagnose the problem I switched a more powerful...

    Kohler CV 12.5 engine

    Thanks for the reply. I'd come to the same conclusion (faulty ACR mechanism) but was looking for a more rapid solution to the hard starting that wouldn't require disassembling the engine to affect a repair. It doesn't need much more torque and a higher torque starter (than the OEM model) would...
