Cub Cadet 1000
Just bought my first gear drive QL. It starts and runs pretty well, no smoke. The transmission seems sound, shifts fine, the clutch seems strong.
It has a dorky looking muffler hanging out the side which means the one side cover cannot be installed. I ordered a replacement muffler and the right elbow (I hope) to bring that part of the tractor back to stock. I am not certain if this model had the "air duct" and heat shield (the plate below the muffler). I made it through the entire thread by Sawdustdad on his excellent 1000 restore, but his final pictures did not reveal how things ended up under the hood.
I would appreciate some input and/or reference to other threads....
