Default AGS 2160 Manual

I have recently purchased a AGS 2160. I was reffered to this site in hopes of answerig some questions. First, when your cutting and shift to reverse the pto shuts off. When youve been cutting a while, sometimes it wont reengage. Second, there is a metal rod under the shift lever under the fender with a spring on it. I cant seem to find out what this is used for. Any help would be greatful. Thanks

I have the manual in PDF form. Shoot me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll send you a copy. I think what your talking about with the spring is the deck lift assist. Post a pic of it if you can. The PTO cut off in reverse is a safty device that we don't talk about on the site, can you say law suit?

Thanks Sam, i sent the PM. I dont think its the spring asist, this is on the right side under the geat shift. It rotates up and down like it might be controled some by the gear shift if it hooked up properly. Ill try to post a pic and show it shortly.

The parts manual I have calls that a torsion spring. The 2185 I gutted a couple years ago had that arm and spring on either side of the tractor. The springs hook onto the back of the deck and the levers push down and latch under neath the frame rails. Pretty cheesy set up if you ask me. Not exactly sure of the function of said arms whether they keep the proper tension on drive belt or assist in the float operation of the deck. Your guess is as good as anyone's.

I think for the small deck you don't get that then the next size up you got one and the large deck had two.

I would send Vince o on this forum a message he services that style mower quite frequently and will know what the function of that spring and arm are. I never kept mine around long enough to worry about it.

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.
