How's this for an absolute FREEBIE????
My mom called yesterday and told me she just bought a new Kubota 1880 mower and she was tired of the old Cub she has. She just replaced the battery and on thursday she tried to start it and it was making engine noise,smoking and then there was no power when she hit the key. I told her I would be right down and fix it,but she said she just wanted it gone. It was either coming home to my house or would be sat along the road for free. I told her I'd be down this am to get it out of her way. I hit the key and no power. I used a multimeter to see voltage and it has 13.9 volts. Right beside the battery was a fuse,so I popped it out,and sure enough,it was blown. I then tried starting it.I checked the oil and hit the key,it knocked pretty bad so I thought it was toast. I decided to start tearing the covers off the motor as well as the hood etc. Then I spied a possible trouble. Oil was all over the head and dripping off the motor. When I grabbed a wire to move it,the bolt that was holding the wire retainer on was severely loose. I then thought I would try tightening them up. This tractor has never been apart so the factory must have missed tightening the bolts as it always seeped oil. When I tightened them up,the hoise went away and it was very quiet again. No oil leaks etc. I then reinstalled all the parts and fired it back up,then engaging the PTO. Took it out in the yard and the smoking stopped,it had all kinds of power as well as no noise. It mows excellent too.. It needs a little bit of cleaning up,but will be my main mower now keeping the 1200 for HD duty etc..This is a 5/06 built mower,so it's not all worn out yet. I even schooled Deanna on how to operate it. Not bad for free...

Awesome deal Pat! Looks like a great little mowing machine. I wonder if they were supposed to use thread locker on some of those bolts....I've noticed on a lot of the newer aluminum engines, all the fasteners have thread-locker on them...maybe they missed those? Great job diagnosing the problem, and getting her going again! Bet your mom is kicking herself now...although it does sound like a good excuse to buy a new tractor :biggrin2.gif:

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.
