PaulF-
Thank you for the write up on the PTO removal and the PTO basket removal. That is exactly what I needed. Tonight I had another wrestling match with the basket and so far it has won!
I have seen holes drilled in pulleys like this before, but it never dawned on me to drill my own holes. Has others used this method with success?

Thanks,
Mark

I have a CC 1650. When I step on the brake, the transmission goes into neutral as it should, but the forward\reverse lever does not return all the way to the neutral notch. Is there a way to adjust this?

Also, when I start the tractor, the charge indicator goes to the charge level, but after a while it will drop back to the 0. It does not go into the discharge area, is this normal?

Todd H,
Optical illusion on the lift handles. The red one is slightly bent from lifting something heavy with it though.

Brendan B.,
One more question on the cc wheel weights. The pictures are great to view however, is their any identification of what make of tractor they are for?
TIA

Todd O,
With the charge that is normal, that means you have the battery back up to 12-13 volts and are not using power. It should go to charge if you turn on the mower clutch, to make up for that lost power.

I tried to resize some pics of the 123. I have been having problems posting them so I will try to put some up. I got a new computer and I am not used to the photo editing program, but I will keep on trying!

 

[bbrigham]

Thomas...If you hover your cursor over each pic it may show in a little box. I use Fire Fox so it doesn't work for me but IE does.

Scott S,here is a link to the image resizer I use...
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/Downloads/powertoys/Xppowertoys.mspx

Scroll down on the right side of the page until you find the words "<font color="0000ff">ImageResizer.exe</font>" In blue lettering as shown. download it to your computer. Then just take the pics from your camera and resize them and upload them to the site.I hope this helps

Ryan D. Mull, Those pics are from my CC 100 and it has the original button style muffler on it.

Todd H.,
Regarding your 'dual tube' 147 engine and its balance gears: When you said, "...how loose on the shaft the bottom gear was."
Did you mean from clearances from side-to-side or that the shaft OD and the gear ID was sloppy?

Either way, sounds like you caught it just in time!

Keep us posted as to the procedure you use to get the gears off. Thanks!

Good Luck!

My cub serial # is 608738. Just got it tuned up and was running great. Now the electric PTO switch will not turn on the mower deck, but the safety part of the switch does keep the started from working if turned on? Looking for trouble shooting help.

Jesse and Richard,

Thanks for the quick responses, I really appreciate them. I inheirited this cub cadet when my wife's grandfather passed away, and I love it.

Here's the image resizer I use for my PC:

I'm still trying to find one as good as irfranview for my Mac.

Brian B., so we can help more, what model Cub do you have? Also go to:
www.cubfaq.com
and look at #60 and find a wire diagram for your tractor. Keep us posted. Many people here to help.

 

[bbloom]

adding to my other post, my tractor is model 1250. I have got the wiring diagram, and nothing in the frequently asked questions gets me closer to solving the problem. I will keep trouble shooting this weekend.

 

[dross]

Brian, Can you hear a click from the clutch with the engine off and ignition on? Do you have 12 volts to the wire that feeds the clutch itself? If you don't have a voltmeter you could just run a jumper wire from the battery to the conector that feeds the clutch for a short time to test all the safty switches at once.

 

[dtanner]

well i thought I might get inclosed Cub hauler. there is a 2007 cargomate for sale here local.12'x 6' and the price is $2500.00 . lol . I thought that was a bit high with the damage so I offered $800.00 and well picture tell why. do you think that my offer was low? later Don T

 

[lkortkamp]

Well, the trailer is relatively new, but with the big hit it took the value is down in my eyes. Does the left door even open? It took quite a hit and has plenty of structural damage, not just cosmetic. If the skin was the only damage, then it's worth more.

 

[bbloom]

Dave Ross thank you for the test info I will try it later today. With the engine off but key on there is no click. Using 12 volt system.
