If it were mine............NO

It is your tractor, your engine and your money. You will have to decide.

If it was my engine we wouldn't even be having this discussion, the engine would be out, on the bench and the front plate would be off to find out what the problem is. From the sounds of things considering how long you have run it with no pressure it's probably a hurt puppy. One question did you by any chance replace the oil lines on this thing? I'm wondering if you did maybe you got them crossed and your trying to pump against the back flow valve in the filter. I seem to recall someone else that had that problem.

Sam....The KT's and Mag's you have to split the crankcase. No front plate buddy.

No, they do have a front plate.

If you remove the front plate you can access the pressure relief valve and spring and the oil pump gears, but not the drive gear of pickup screen. The KT's did have some issues with plugging the screens, but they also had a plastic oil pump drive gear that is known to disintegrate just like the plastic governor gears do in the KT's. My guess is either something is stuck on the pressure relief, or the drive gear crapped out. You have to split the case to get to the drive gear.

Sam's idea on the oil lines is good, but in post #1 he stated that the light first came on while blowing snow.

OP: Here's a clue, when the oil pressure light comes on, SHUT IT OFF! Then find out why, and fix it. I imagine your engine is now toast and you are just wasting time trying to fix it.

Sadly, splitting the crank case is a bit beyond my current capability. I didn't replace the oil lines, this just started one day while running the snow blower. Off to the dealer with her I guess... :-(

George whatever the problem is he needs to find out what is wrong. Not sure what his abilities are but with all the tech info and people here I'm sure it could be figured out in short order. At this point it's up to the OP to decide what he wants to do.

I deleted the post as I hadn't seen page 3 and realized the cover plate issue was previously addressed.
I'll just sit and be quiet

So I'm thinking I may attempt a repair, I started disassembling and can't figure how to get the PTO pulley off. Do I just jam something in the drive shaft on the other end and put a wrench on it? It feels like I'm turning the whole crankshaft when I put a wrench on it now. If this is a stupid question or there's already a guide please point it out. Thanks for everyone's help on this!

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.
