I was mowing my property this morning and stopped the mower to back up. No movement forwards or backwards. Parking brake is not engaged, sounds like the transmission is trying. Mower has been running for about 90 minutes.
I drained the oil from my new mower after a couple hours of operation. Bought a couple of oil filters to have on hand. Unlike some older versions of this model, mine has NO OIL FILTER. I've not seen this before. The Cub Cadet web site lists "No" next to oil filter.
Key arrived today. Put gas in it. It started right up. Took it for a spin in the yard (little less than an acre) - bounced around a bit. Works well. Have identified air filters and oil filters. Bagger should be available Thursday.
Cub Cadet is sending me a key. I called Home Depot to let them know how unhappy I was with this entire situation. They gave be a partial refund that was LARGE. Helps me pay for the bagger. All in all, it's fine.
Just bought a Cub Cadet CC 30H. Have just less than an acre with lots of trees. First time owner of a riding mower. Plan on getting the bagger attachment. Look forward to learning how to best use and prolong the life of this mower.
