Default Diesel Lessons Learned - 882

Just wanted to share a bit of my 882 tear-down experiences so far.
I've been reading the postings here pretty frequently so I see there are quite a few of you that have gotten "new to you" smokers within the last few months.
I was lucky enough to pick up an 882D about a year ago locally. When I picked it up, the PO started it up and we drove it onto the trailer. I was thinking, "OK, this machine is not too bad, perhaps I can just do a superficial restoration and that will be it".
It has been sitting in the corner of the shop waiting on its turn to go under the wrench.
Now that I am getting into this job, I have decided to completely tear it down and rebuild everything but the engine (609 hrs and good compression).

I want to call attention to the fuel system in particular. As I am taking it down, everything gets removed, cleaned and corrosion controlled (painted) and replaced if not serviceable. I was kind of shocked when I got into the fuel tank. There was fuel that looked like molasses, lines were clogged and chunky things were rattling around in the tank. I can't believe it even ran to get onto the trailer, Oh yea, it's a Cub. My bad!
For all you new diesel owners, please go through your machines toughly so you don't have problems later, especially in the fuel system! I have attached a photo of the (clogged up) tank side to side transfer tube as well as the tractor in its current state.
I'll continue to update on this machine as I make progress. Happy rebuilding and restoring fellow OCC'ers!

getting ready to clean tank and install new fuel lines on my 1782, pretty sure its clogged up like that too. it will run good, until you try to mow awhile on full thottle, and it dies, with an empty fuel filter. then you gotta prime it all out again.

Smile Fuel tank

A few years ago ,I was aerating lawn going up hill , mine would die out . After a few times, I figured time to pull & flush tank & replace fuel lines. Never a problem after that R & R. Well worth effort that should last another 20+ years.

Quick question for you guys who cleaned/replaced fuel system parts. Did you replace or clean the 90 degree fittings (#5)?

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.
