K241 or tranny problems?
Since I got it a month ago, I have thought there something just not right with my 102. Now its official. I had it out yesterday for a few hours actually, doing chores, and other things that a new mower couldnt do (haha). It started off running fine then as I used it, it began to bog down really easily in all gear and barely being able to move up the slightest hill. It was like I had a huge load of rocks or something behind it. I found myself not being able to go into third gear as it bogged and smoked when it was put in to third and even being weak in second. It also started having trouble getting up to RPM when not in gear and just overall wasn't running right. I don't know if it is the engine or the tranny because I was having clutch troubles and had to grind into a few gears unfortunately. When in a higher gear, there is also some moaning going on that sounds like a weak hydrostatic. Do I have something wrong with my cubby or is it just time to go through everything and rebuild?(hope not!) Thanks for reading my lengthly statemend and have a happy memorial day.

Blue-ish smoke. No, just used hydrostatic noise as a reference. Its a 3-speed. I've only had the tractor for about a month, all I've done is changed the oil, new sparkplug, new air filter, and seafoamed it. I haven't got around to checking the diff level as when I do I will probably go ahead and change it. I really don't know if anything has been done to the engine, I really havent dug into it much.

You mean why won't it run right? Could just be that the motor is worn out. Could be carb problems. Could be ignition problems. Could be poor fuel. Could be a plugged air filter. Could be a tranny with no oil and seizing a bearing brake stuck on blown head gasket sticking valve plugged muffler You really are going to have to do some testing..... Narrow it down to at least a system. Do you need help with that diagnostic?

More than likely a motor issue, however, have you ever checked or changed the oil in the rear end??? If not, perhaps you should. How's the air filter? Have you done anything to the engine at all? If not, why don't you tune it up and go from there.

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.
