New member with problems on his 2500 series
Hi all,
My family has owned Cub Cadets ever since I can remember. And now I own one!  I'm hoping someone can help me out on here, I've never had a serious problem with my CC rider mower before, but yesterday I checked the oil (as I always do - and it was fine), and started mowing. Hadn't mowed due to rain here in Indiana for about a week and a half. Something was sounding funny in the engine, but I thought it was due to not having run it a while...my wife came home and took over (takes an hour and half to mow here) and it just up and died on her. I went out to check and saw some white smoke coming from the engine, I immediately checked the oil and the dipstick was clean showing no oil. This confused me b/c when I had checked the oil before I started it was fine. Well, I went back up to the barn and got more oil, poured another bottle in there and knew that had to be enough to finish off our backyard and get it to the barn again where I could check more on it through the week, but then she got a half-way around the backyard and it up and died again. Now when I tried to start it and it just kept trying to turn over but wouldn't kick. Checked oil again - nothing, despite pouring that whole bottle in. My intention now was just to start it enough to get it to the barn but that wasn't happening and I noticed too, when trying to start it now, there was a loud 'rotational' clang-banging coming from deep inside the engine. I'm happy to answer any questions, but is there anything anybody could suspect the problem here is? Never had a problem with my Cub Cadet before and I do try to take good care of it.

You didn't mention anything about a leak....?
Just based on what you said.....toast. Sorry man. If you haven't lost a rod you will and you'll likely punch a hole when she goes. If you can't handle the rebuild yourself....I'd hate to see the shop bill. Might want to look for a replacement engine.

Nope, no leak that I could see. When I poured that bottle in I did go back to look at the ground and nothing. I traced my wife's path too, and nothing. All the caps and plugs are in place. I wonder too what could have caused this (whatever is wrong) to begin with?

I probably shouldn't have used "clang-banging" as the description. It sounds more like a belt or something being whipped around inside the engine on a rotation than anything actual metal.

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.
