A 1572 found me
So I already have an 1872 that I pulled out of a friends field and fixed up and repowered with a CH18. It came with a 40c mower deck and 42 inch snow thrower and I also added the power angle plow to it. It has been doing great and I have not really been in the market for anything else.
Well another friend knows I fixed up the 1872 and knew someone with an old Cub Cadet that sat in a shed unused for years and they were looking to clean out and downsize their home. He first said it was a 1512 but when I got there I found it was a 1572 with a 60" deck. It currently has 1256 hours on the clock and it is well used. I am finding many missing or loose fasteners. The engine did start with a fresh battery in it but ran rough. I have already checked the valves and several were loose and one was tight. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it did not burn a valve. Or is that even an issue with a diesel..... Other then a full service of fluids and filters it needs: - Driveshaft repaired. It is very loose at the pump. - All fuel/coolant hoses replaced. They are very brittle. Belts look fairly new though. - Trace down a draw on the battery. - A few other little repairs, fix battery terminal, light switch, rear lights, etc Future upgrades: - Rear axle brace and trans cover from extreme and add axle carrier drain hole while I am in there - Gear reduction starter and glow plug upgrade with relay Questions: - I can't find radiator hoses for it. Has anyone figured out a workaround for this? - Fuel lines look like 1/4" but the return connection at the injectors is a bit small, probably 5mm so the 1/4" slides on a bit loose. Is it SOP to just clamp down on it? - I ordered the head cover gasket from Messicks (only place I could find it) but it seems like it would fit a 2 cyl better. Is it normal to have to stretch it out? I ordered part 15841-14520 which I think is right. I will double check the bag, maybe the picked the wrong part. - Are there any leading suspects to check for the battery draw? I was thinking I would start with the key switch and voltage regulator. Thanks. Brian.

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.
