2182 oil plug
This went from a minor annoyance to a full fledged pain the in the butt. My 2182 with the gas Kubota has always had a little drip from the oil plug, figured next oil change I'd fix it. Pulled the plug, put on a new crush washer, still drips. Not a lot, maybe a drip every couple days, but enough to tick me off. I'm all into making sure things are tight, but any tighter than it already is, and I'm going to worry. Any tips, tricks, advice? Maybe a different kind of washer someone uses with success? I looked for any nicks or gouges in the mating surfaces and didn't see anything.

----Or make a nylon or teflon washer. ----or use a copper spark plug washer. If that fails weld it shut Ha,LOL! |

Along with what George said.....
Use teflon on the threads. Drain port on the oil pan may have a crack. Drain plug may just be worn out. |

Thanks, I did teflon wrap the heck out of the plug, but since it's not a tapered thread, but relies on the washer to seal, that didn't work out as well as I thought. I guess I could take the plug to napa and see if they can match it and get me some washers to try. If that fails, I'll just spray flex seal all over the oil pan. If it's good enough to hold a boat together, then it should be able to fix an oil leak! lol

Ok George, I gotta ask. How do you cut an o-ring grove in a bolt head that small, and round to seat an o-ring in? Dremel?

That jon "kid"is pretty smart for a young whipper snapper.
As he said inspect the surface where the sealing washer seats. I have seen aluminum and steel oil pans crack. (not familiar with a 'bota) usually a soft nylon washer will conform to slight irregular surfaces. FWIW some vehicle drain bolts do have an "O" ring headed bolt. you might look/compare in the "help" section of better auto parts stores. I would recommend asking the counter person, but most have no clue unless you specify year make & model. being a 'bota it is going to have a metric thread. Try a google search for the problem, someone might of already solved the problem. |

Thank you. Went and got a new plug and a ribbed nylon washer. I'll give that a try and see if it takes care of it! The new plug has a larger head, and the washer is larger, so hopefully it has more room to seal. The previous plug and copper washer was more like the size you get on a spark plug. Pretty narrow. I think this will seal it much better.

With a ribbed washer and a bigger head, the results should be more satisfying.

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.
