The old engine in my 86 (now 128) cracked the front pulley in half and cracked two fly wheel. Some one did not re build it right.

All tractors in the 1x4/5 series would have the fiberglass seat except the 72.

Default Fiddled with the 2072

Wasn't feeling too well this morning so I called in sick but made a miraculous recovery Thank you. Drove up to the Cub Cadet dealer and went thru the new owner checklist for the 2072 I picked up last week. The young man working the counter is a Cub fanatic and knows his stuff. Got a new oil filter, new trans filter, new plugs, oil and Hytran. Came home and pulled the old rear cover off and it was pretty nasty but it cleaned up well. The trans filter was a bear to get off; there wasn't much left of it by the time it started to budge. I had let the oil drain while I ran up to the dealer and on return I swished a little Sea Foam down the oil fill to flush out any other nasty crud.

It runs right spiffy, no more whining hydro pump and she starts with a bump of the key. Also bought a new seat since the old one had a little tear but did not get it on since I had to come in and put dinner in the oven. I might just powerwash that Haban that came with it instead of sandblast, it looks more dirty than rusty. Can't wait for daylight savings time so I have some light after work. Lots more to do.

Good job on the 2072! I got the mower on the 123. It works great i'll have to try it first before i give it back to lady that owns it. I wish it was mine it is a great running tractor and that is my favorite series.

We had 2 inches of rain down here in Maryland Sunday. The next storm is supposed to dump up to 4 inches in isolated areas. Watch out New England!

Hey Sminkey, thanks for the birthday wishes. It was a SUPER 50th.

You're welcome Weaverama, We've got another "winter storm warning" for tonight thru tomorrow for 4"-7"

Nice work Steve I replaced only one heim on my 71, but with that and putting a bearing in the top of the steering column, it steers like butter!

Got into the rear of the 124 today, the brake lever was froze up and I got that all free. I would like to replace the o-ring on the brake lining retainer, but not sure how to get it out Can I just push it thru the reduction housing? Gonna replace every seal/gasket and probably bearings too!

Also the reduction drive shaft is pretty worn where the spirol pin goes through. The coupling had a good bit of play in it, is replacing the shaft the only way to fix this issue?? Same problem I had on the O'!!

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.
