Does any one know where I could find a compatibility chart for replacing my XT3 Lawn Tractor battery? It's a 12volt battery rated at 300 CCAmps. I usually get my lawn tractor battery from our local Advance Auto, which carries the DieHard brand now or Auto Zone, which carries DuraLast brand...

Just a quick tip - I'm running a similar post on this forum for a Weedeater 500 push mower that runs only on gas poured through the carb... Not sure it applies to your situation but two things I was given to check... 1. Roughen up the mounting-metal on the front surface area on the top of gas...

Got your update and I'm glad you were successful. I re-read my old posts on this mower and I found that I had actually hit a stump and had to have the engine mount repaired - the sheetmetal there was so light it just pulled the bolt-heads right up through the frame. Remember how I commented...

Weedeater Lawnmower, Let me know when you get to the point of starting this puppy... I have a similar Model 500 and can't get it to run except by feeding gas through the carb. Of course, it only runs a second or two and then shuts off. I've changed spark plug, put on new carb kit from...

Hi everyone, After mowing last night I put my Cub inside and noticed a bit of oil on the concrete where I stopped the tractor prior to driving it into garage - about a couple of thimble-fulls spread out in 2 distinct locations. I checked the area around the oil filter and oil drain plug and...

Hi everyone, Does anyone have a good way to repair the engine mounting area on the push mower deck when cracks start on top where the engine bolts on? I have an old MTD Yardman mower with a 3.75hp B&S engine that runs/starts great and I'd like to repair it to get a few more years of service...

Question on replacement for the Case marketed Hy-Tran Ultra hydraulic transmission fluid... My local Cub Cadet dealer went out of business last Fall and I discovered on wanting to do the 100 hr. transmission fluid/filter change that I didn't have the Hy-Tran Ultra hydraulic transmission fluid...

Hi, Hoping someone will know what's going on when I engage the mower deck pull-out control, the Console battery charge warning light comes on. Then when I disengage the mower the light goes off... It didn't seem to affect the running or the subsequent starting of the tractor but I thought this...

Type of engine on Huskee (MTD) 21"/158cc Hi Wheel mower carried by Tractor Supply Hi all, Does anyone know anything about the 158 cc engine mounted on the Huskee branded MTD mowers carried by Tractor Supply? I picked up a 21" Hi-Wheel mower at Tractor Supply farm store over the weekend when...

I have 5 year old Weedeater 500 with a Briggs & Stratton engine. When I went to use this mower last week I encountered a problem After priming, engine starts right up but dies as soon as priming gas used up. At the end of last season's mowing, I ran the mower till the engine died and then...

Hi all, I had my 12 hp 2135 Cub out out two weeks ago trying to pull out some small Red Bud tree volunteers that had sprouted in my driveway's drainage ditch. I use them to re-plant the 30 year old Red Bud trees on a 20-30 degree inclined bank next to my driveway as drive circles up around...

Hi again, Well after getting my 2 year saga of fuel delivery straightened out, I rolled the Cub out to mow last evening, turned the key and NOTHING, not even a 'Click'. Now I know batteries die but this is only the 2nd year on this battery and I've been getting the full 3 years fairly...

Hi all, I don't have all the specs on this engine with me but last night after mowing one tank of gas with my 4 yr. old Weedeater 500 lawnmower, when I refilled it - and I didn't overfill it - When I re-started it, the gas started spewing out of the 3 vent holes in the gas tank cap. It was like...

Hi everyone, For the past 2 years, I've been dealing with what appears to be a fairly common problem with Cub Cadet tractors approaching 500 run hours. They run great for about an hour until the engine gets hot and then start to sputter and die - sometimes you can recover at least to the point...

Briggs&Stratton 500 Series/158cc/5.00 ft lbs Torque Hit stump, won't start; Fixable? Hi everyone, I hit a stump with my mower, blade is bent on one side and I couldn't pull the starter rope afterwards. It felt like the pulley was binding on something and wouldn't turn, though I was able to...

Hi everyone, This past weekend I changed from snow-plow to grass mower. I had used this mower as recently as early March when we had a small snowstorm - worked great. After I got the mower deck mounted, went to start it up and it cranked and cranked (new battery last summer) but wouldn't...

Hi all, I finally got around to ordering some new rear tires for my 17 yr. old Cub Cadet 2135 - original size 20 X 9 - 8. On looking over various tire sites, I soon realized that the 9-8 size was no longer available and only 20 X 8 - 8 or 20 X 10 - 8 were available... So, I called Cub Cadet...

When should you start thinking about replacing the Rear Tires on a Cub Cadet lawn tractor? I have a 16 yr. old HDS2135 and I looked around to see what the price of rear tires would be - turns out there around $150.00/apiece. Why are they so much more expensive than equivalent non-OEM tires...

Hi all, I have a 1996 Cub Cadet HD2135 with a Kohler 12.5 HP engine. This Cub has the hydrostatic transmission. While mowing yesterday, after an hour and half, it started acting like it was running out of gas - the engine started hesitating like just before it stalls out but I was able to make...
