New and Diving In
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the Cub Cadet world, having acquired a model 1864 from a relative that has not been run in several years. There's only 216 hrs. on it but it will obviously need a lot of TLC to bring it back to life, starting with the fuel system. I'm wondering if its possible to put an electric fuel pump on these things, and if so what the recommendations/suggestions are. Any other suggestions for restoring it to running condition would be greatly appreciated also. Thanks, JTW |

Welcome to OCC. You could put an electric pump on but some of them can pump too much pressure and cause other problems. Is yours failed?

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/pfs-10701/overview/ If it was my tractor I'd pull the fenders off the back, remove the fuel tank, clean it out and replace all of the fuel lines and filter along with the grommets in the bottom of the tank. Also clean out the fuel shut off valves. The carb will probably need to be cleaned out or rebuilt. If you go the electric fuel pump route I'd add a switch to the circuit so that you can turn the pump off to allow the engine to run itself out of fuel that way it won't sit with fuel in the carb and get cruddy. After you get it running plan on changing the fluid and filter for the trans/hydro.

Thanks for the welcome and reply Oak.
I have not actually torn in to the fuel system just yet, but figured the pump would most likely be bad as its been sitting idle for years. I'll of course try to flush it out but if it doesn't work out I'm just trying to make plans on what to replace it with. |

Yes I plan to tear the fuel system tank and all out and either clean/replace as applicable. Would it be better to stick with the original type pump, or go electric? Pro's/Con's?? |

If the stock pump works I'd run it. If it is bad your choice. Just a heads up, sometimes the stock vacuum operated pumps can take a bit to get them primed. I've had a couple CH's that I've had to squirt some gas into the carb to get started if the carb is empty. I've also filled the carb by taking the line to the carb off the pump then take gear oil bottle with some gas in it stick the nozzle into the fuel line and give it a little squeeze. Once the float bowl is full they will usually fire up. One other thing I've done with the Cyclops is to put a little air pressure in the tank to push the gas up to the fuel pump. Be very careful if you try this.

Give the Original Fuel pump a chance. it will probably surprise you.
Easy enough to find out. Disconnect from the Carb and crank it see if you get go-go juice coming out of the hose

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.
