prevous owner put antifreeze in my tires
yikes. somehow he thought this was a good idea. i recently started mowing with the tractor. it was ridding like crap, i mean really really bad. i thought i was ridding on wooden tires. i plucked at one of the valve stems and out shot antifreeze. no wonder the tractor was ridding so badly. when you remove the air and replace it with fluid on a vehicle that has no suspension you remove the cushion the tires provide. i never had a problem until now because i was using it to run a snowthrower. you dont move as fast when removing snow and the snow itself also provides a cushion. my tractor was ridding really really badly, i mean it what borderline whiplash. now im having to remove roughly 5 gallons of this crap from each tire. i find it really annoying when someone uses fluid in the tires instead of purchasing a set of used wheel weights. tires were meant to be filled with air, not fluid. this isnt the first time i have ever had to deal with this. i once owned a bolens ride-a-matic about 10 years ago, same thing. its a nasty thing to do.
since i have owned this machine i have had to fix everything that he "fixed". he literally spent no money maintaining this machine. i can understand being on a budget but the corners he cut, downright annoying.

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.
