Default 1872 cub cadet
I am going to look at a 1872 tonight. The guy wants 500. b/o. It has a 50" deck and the only issue is the pto won't engage. He said there is a new carb on it, also. The newest cub I have is the 782D and am not very familiar with these. Can someone tell me what these go for? Is there any issues with these tractors? I see it has indendent brakes

Thanks,
Earl

The 1872 is a Super Garden Tractor. If the person wants $500.00 for a SGT, I am thinking it's a steal.

I just picked it up for 450. Has a real nice 50" deck. This thing is huge. It runs good, no smoke or knocks, seals are not leaking, but it surges and almost idles out of control. He said he rebuilt the carb. It sounds like a governor issue to me. I'll have to read up on it because this tractor is new to me. Thanks for your advice. Any suggestions on the surging I would appreciate it.

Earl

I have several carbs from the single cylinder kohlers. Will any of these work on the m-18? I don't like that fixed jet carb either. I never had one but I don't like the idea I can't adjust it.

Thanks,
Earl

I think you can use a #26 carb with the throttle and choke shafts from the Walbro.

GOOD NEWS! I believe I ruled out that the internal part of governor is the problem. I loosened the governor arm from the shaft and set it the way the manual instructed. It worked. The governor now works just the way it should. It still idles a little rough. I know if it was an adjustable carbureator I could smooth it out but there is no adjusting except that idle adjustment which does not do much. How do identify a #26 carb? Are they stamped? I have several carbs from the k series engines but am not sure what number they are.

Anyway, I really appreciate all your help. It is great having a resource like this.

Earl

Look inside the throat of the carb past the choke butterfly. You will see either a 26 or a 30 cast into the body. You can't miss it.

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.
