Overfill Oil - Help!
I had a senior moment with my 1440, friends. I poured in too much oil. Before I realized it, I started and drove the tractor. It soon began to pour out smoke. I stopped, and figured I must have put in too much oil. Let it set, checked the dip stick, and sure enough. So I drained out what should not have been there. Now my question is, did I harm my B&S 14hp engine? What should I do before I use the tractor again? I appreciate the help, cause I don't know what to do. I did a search on the forum, but did not find anything.

Well I would get the correct amount of oil in it and start it and run it. If you see no smoke or oil leaks you probably will be OK. Make sure to check behind the PTO for leaks after you run it for a few minutes. They are notorious for that crank seal popping out.

Check the air filter it may be soaked with oil. Doubt that you hurt it. Worked on one in a 2160 that was a QT over full. Women wondered why it was smoking.

Yeah, I agree that the breather probably soaked the whole air cleaner with oil. That's always a nice mess

Thanks for the help, but still not sure . . .
Thanks for the help guys. I got the oil level down to where it should be. I removed the air cleaner. There was oil in the pan but the filter was not soaked. Some in the pre filter. Here is the issue that concerns me now: the tractor starts and runs well, but it is smoking a good amount. Will it just take a while to burn all of the excess oil out? Or is this a sign of other damage.
Learned a lesson here! |

Use it, if it don't quit smoking it needs fixed.
if it does quit, you don't have to do anything. @ this point, it is what it is. |

George, love the post. Yup, it is what it is. I ran it, and it quit smoking so it don't need fixed, and I am happy. You have a good day, sir.

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.
