I don't know...doesn't look like bullshit to me. Unless everything here is WRONG!?

If it is wrong...it has all been here for a long time. If you ask me it is original to the machine and looks NOTHING to the other pic Sam posted.

Well, the dash is not the piece that the cap is hitting. Thats the air shroud/ screen,
So if the tech told you to remove dashboard thats already wrong.

Usually you can push on that shroud and get a little deflection to turn the cap. If not you need to loosed those bolts that hold the screen to move it a little.

If it were me. I would just cut one of the "ears" off, remove the cap, and put a round cap "with no ears" back on it

OK this is the last time I'm going to comment on this one. Grab ahold of the tab on the DAMN screen and pull it straight up. It may be stuck in the slides on the back of the radiator if it has not been removed for a long time. I think you will also need to remove the side panels but it's been a couple years and I don't remember. It also looks like someone has put fender washers in the hood latch and they are holding the screen forward. I don't recall ever seeing washers like those on any of the Cyclops I've worked on.

He didn't say REMOVE IT. He said LOOSEN IT. Re-read my prior post.

I think I got it from here.

"OK this is the last time I'm going to comment on this one."

Thank you. You have been incorrect and condescending from the get go. I am beyond sorry I asked. IF I ever post here again, you can feel free to ignore me.

This is a pic of how that hood latch should look. This is from a 2284. Most of the time that pin is long gone because the plastic has broken. Someone put fender washers on your tractor and my guess ist that is your problem.

Sam.. Was NOT wrong "hardly ever is when it comes to a cyclops" If you think he is wrong please show me those fender washers in the parts diagram that he pointed out. I normally would not even bother with saying anything about something like this but then I went and looked at the other two times Sam helped you out in your other threads.

He was not saying anything about you really. He was calling the cub tech an idiot. And he's right to do so. But then again.. You were the guy asking how to remove a radiator cap. Sorry, just call em like I see em.

I am really good at calling them as I see them also, but I will restrain myself and maintain a level of civility.

You were the one that wanted to take a hacksaw to the cap. You can't even read for comprehension. I would REALLY appreciate never hearing from you again. I wouldn't want you to fix my wheelbarrow.

One of you said just push on the screen to open the cap like that was the fix. Then you two celebrated with the clinking beer steins icon.

Like I would be that stupid not to do everything possible like pushing on that screen to open it. You two guys are condescending and insulting.

Then you genius, come up with the idea to loosen up the screen/dashboard to get the cap open...just like the tech said!

Finally, I find out the washers are the problem - something I wouldn't have caught on my own, having never seen this set up before. I appreciate this input - thank you. I now can correct this.

But I can tell you one thing for certain. I have met some great guys here. These folks were very pleasant and helpful. I was even able to help a person or two out myself.

But if the future of my experience here is dealing with you two, it will be a cold day in Hell before I EVER post on this board again.

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.
