The current one uses a Toro Timecutter 42" and a previous one did too. They seemed to work well.

Thanks all for your good comments and advice. As I have not been mowing due to two dead mowers I haven't been here for a bit. I have been using mowing contractors since then but have trouble with them usually at the end of winter, they go on to other things due to lack of business in winter...

Just an explanation, my previous mowers are Cub Cadets LT1018 (42") and GT3200 (54"). Both use quite an amount of oil, 42" has a decompression device failure and the 54" diff/transmission has a cracked housing and leaking all the oil as well as needed an engine reconditioning (Kohler Command...

Thanks for the responses and the great info. Perhaps a bit more details on my plans for this property, mowing wise. My plan now is to get a mower for around the house (2-2.5 acres) and get a contractor in to do the back block (that's were the slopes and some rough areas are) 4 or 5 times a...

I am in the market for a zero turn mower deck 54" or bigger. I have 5 acres, around 2 acres around the house and then the remainder (back block) 3 acres with some reasonable steep slopes and and can be a bit rough. So looking for advice on which is the best brand/make to do both lawn around the...

My Cub Cadet GT3200 with 54" deck is for sale for parts. Last used 2 weeks ago and mowed great diff lock jammed and now the diff housing has cracked and the mower is inoperable. In all other respect in working order with Kohler 25HP Command Twin. Has a reported 720 hours on the hour meter. Also...

Thanks Bert will check this out tomorrow

Just wondering if anyone can advise me about this. I have just done a service on my GT3200 with Kohler Command 25 engine. Cub manual says sump capacity is 64 Oz (equivalent to 1.89 ltrs) another source I found online says 1.9 quarts (equivalent to around 1.8 Ltrs). I have just filled the...

I have a Cub Cadet GT 3200 with Kohler Command 25 twin Petrol (Gas) engine. I have had issue with the mower stalling after 10 to 15 minutes of running. Working on it today and have isolated the fuel pump and blowing air through the petrol filler but only getting occasional drops of fuel. Also...

Ok, looking for advice, causes and possible solutions. Mower deck does not engage (when actuated). Any suggestions? I have attached a page out of the parts manual to show the power take off (at the front of the engine) set up

Thanks for the responses. I checked the level this morning and seems to be full or near full. So no urgent need. I will call the Cub dealer (here in Toowoomba, Qld) this morning and get him to get some genuine Cub Cadet Drive System Fluid Plus fluid for me to have here (I'm 40 mins north of...

I need to get some transmission fluid equivalent Cub Cadet Drive System Fluid Plus. Is there an equivalent here in Australia I can use?

Just used it again today (first time since this thread) oil was full on the dipstick when I started and after around 30 mins stopped it to check the oil. Now almost empty on the dipstick. See pic here. No sign of oil leak from the mower and no sign of smoking engine (Kohler 25HP twin). Any...

Thanks Bert for the input. I did a quick check yesterday (Sunday)...Oil is still full from when I "topped" it up on Saturday. No oil underneath the mower in the shed, checked around the PTO to the deck where it comes through the firewall quite dry (i.e. no oil on the shaft). Checked the oil...

Oh, I omitted to mention in the thread above I have been using SAE30 Penrite oil.

HI, Here in Queensland, Australia with the warmer weather did the first mow yesterday of our 2.5 ac "house yard" with my Cub Cadet GT 3200 54" mower. First mow since June (as just been through winter). Engine is a Kohler 25 HP Command Twin and the mower has done 686 hours on the meter. Checked...

Hi Bert, Just started the mower after replacing the mobile idler pulley. Didn't replace the deck belt this time. All assembled back. Started the mower and tried to engage the deck/PTO. I will upload a video later but PTO pulley moves the belts in but still too loose to operate properly. They...

Thanks Bert for all the good advice. Started the job this afternoon and this evening. Got the deck idler pulley (c/w bearing) and bolt 26 and washer 22 you recommended. Also replacing the deck belt tomorrow. We are also replacing the two PTO belts at the front of the engine (GT3200 Kohler 25HP...

Hi, I am a relatively new forum member. I joined last year but really haven't been active in posting, being new to Ride on mowers. A bit of history first: I am in Queensland, Australia. Spent all my life in the city but recently (a bit over 12 months ago) moved to the country and now live on...

Hi I have a Cub Cadet LT1018 with a 18.5 Hp Briggs & Stratton engine. Can anyone advise me the value gaps inlet/outlet? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a Cub Cadet LT1018. Just wondering what the tire pressures should be front and rear? I cannot see any mention of it in the manual.

Yes, it broke and I have a new one to fit. I am talking about the park brake operator's handle in the dash, e.g. Any assistance in how to step by step replace this item is appreciated.

HI, I have to replace the park brake lever on my Cub Cadet GT 3200, anyone go any instruction on how do do it? Or have done it before and can offer step by step how to? Thanks in advance. Magnum308
