I love my 1862 but as stated the plastic is a problem if a PO didn't care about bumping into things. I just put a NOS grill shell and hood on mine and now making a bumper for it. But then I can see a tree if it is in my way so hopefully I will not need it. You will LOVE the power steering! Mine has the 50C deck on it and I can put the edge right up against the tree truck and circle it all the way around without backing up.

I love my 1862. I've had it for about 13 years and got it from the original owner. He cared for his equipment, but mine had a short, uncared for, layover with my landscape company. When I got it back, I had to clean up some rust from sitting under a tarp for a year or so, but other than that, no worse for the wear. The mag 18 plows thru wet, long grass, but it's main use is running the 450 blower (I have an early 1862). The power steering is fantastic (comparing to my 982) especially with the heavy blower on the front. Other than that, it's a Cub Cadet with an aluminum rear. My plastic is in pristine shape (knock on wood) and just takes a little thought to make sure you're not running it into anything. I've heard the comments about the electrical system, but again, knock on wood, I've not had any issues with mine.

Guys using the hondas as repower were having overheating problems due to the small open area for the driveshaft adapters...No airflow to cool them down...
Now...The ultimate CC would be the 1872/2072 with a Command/Vanguard engine...Say 20hp...All metal with all the goodies...JMO...

I had an 1863. This tractor as well as 1862 and 1864 are great ones provided the previous owner did not abuse them. In researching it, I read they had issues with the plastic hoods, electrical issues, and paint peeling. When I had mine, I can verify I had electrical issues and paint peeling badly. I would be waxing the tractor, and paint would come off. I had other issues with it so I traded it in. My uncle had an 1862, and his looked horrible--he did not take care of it. I have also heard the Magnum engine has governor issues. 1863 and 1864 had Kohler Command engines which some argue are better than the Kohler Magnum engine found in 1862.

That seems a bit odd....Are you overtightening the belts or are the aligned correctly?
Should last longer than that....

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.
