Greetings, I'm starting to rework a Cub Cadet Model 1864 ( circa 1996 ) with a 48" GT Deck 317190 SN# 519483. The tractor runs good but my mower deck has had a hard life. I suspect the blade spindles are original, and the nuts are frozen on.

Spray them good with PB Blaster and let them set for a while. Adding heat to them could work too.

Greetings, Did you know that you need to check the Deck Spindles with the Blades still on them? Well I do now. Cool everything Solid. All that was required New Blades and a ton of Fresh Paint on the Deck. I'm cutting grass 04/09/2010.
I knew the battery was dead when I bought the Model 1964. Well one of the stator lead wires was worn though. My Neighbor is a real Gearhead rebuilds racing Go-Karts and Shifter Cars. We pulled the Kohler CH18S engine. When we removed the raer engine cowling the entire housing was caked with dust and oilly grass clippings. Probably some 15 years accumulation. In fact this model Kohler engine didn't have a Stator wire shield and the dirt had gotten behind the wire pushing it into the flwheel. Done and working. Typical of a 3 owner Mower. Some of the original wiring had been jumped or cross wired. That took a bit of trial and extra fuses. Done and working. |

My Model 1864 is new to me. This is my first Hydro Shaft drive unit. Should I have to hold the Hydro Level at all times? The unit holds good in Neutral. Accelerates great in both Forward and Reverse. But if you left go of the Hydro Level it returns to Neutral and a dead stop.
At times that's get on these Alabama Hills. |

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
