I procrastinated on this long enough that it is now running great. Maybe a piece of dirt in the fuel cleared, but have not had the surging issues lately.

Starts when below 10F, with ease. Remarkable.

Picked up decals from Maple. Tins are painted (see pics), doesnt suck too bad.

I gotta prep and spray yeller.

The 45 degree flare on the hydraulics are leaking going into the hydro. More work on those. For now I put a piece of cardboard under it to catch the drips but when the fenders come off will re-eval those flared fittings. May make an adapter for my flaring tool, or borrow one, or buy a cheapie. Cant live with drippy leaks, always annoying.

In the meantime a foot of snow due today so it is going to get another workout.

On the leaking fittin's
Been my long time experience, that while *45 and *37 are not recommended together, it works in the real world.
I mostly just snug them a bit tighter, sometimes back them off and re tighten.
Possibly the tubing flair is a bit short when you flared it, or it split?
( I don't know your expertise/experience)
Don't accept failure too easily.

Regarding my 'expertise', it is a real possibility that I simply forgot to tighten them when it went back together and they are only started. So expertise wise, it could be even the most basic of problems (like forgetting to plug in an electrical appliance then wondering why it doesnt work!)



Just saying anything is possible. I will get them to stop leaking. I work slow, but get there eventually. And do appreciate all the great inputs and encouragement from this site.

I just did the same with hydraulic lines on my 1864. I used my 45 degree tool and used 3/8 sleeves and nuts for 37. So far everything seems good. Sorry for the poor pictures, just got a new phone so im learning

I wasnt 100% serious when I posted this but guess what.... finger tight. I had forgotten to go back and tighten the hydro nuts after putting it together. So did, and now they dont leak. smh

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.
