    Kohler back-firing on shut down.

    Thank you. I will adjust my shut-down procedure accordingly.

    Kohler back-firing on shut down.

    Where can I verify that "Kohler recommends that their engines be shut off at full throttle."? I did not see that in the owner's manual.

    Kohler back-firing on shut down.

    The backfire is not a "pop" it is a "bang" as loud as a .22 Long Rifle pistol in a confined space (my garage).

    Kohler back-firing on shut down.

    I have a Kohler KT735 (7000 series) on my new (less than fifty hours) Cub Cadet that backfires sometimes when I push the throttle lever down when I am going to shut it down. It does not backfire at any other time, so I doubt (but not sure), that the cause is not one of those listed in the...

    Solenoid stuttering.

    Yes...when I bought the 2009 Cub Cadet, it soon would only start intermittently. I found that whoever put the battery in it (TSC?), had not tightened the bolts on the battery terminals...ruined the battery.

    Solenoid stuttering.

    Addendum: I took the battery to my local TSC and they tested it with a battery load tester. It was bad. Bought a new battery, installed it and the engine started...it was the battery. Now that it is running, I will put it up for sale on Facebook Marketplace and continue to use my new Cub...

    Solenoid stuttering.

    I was mowing one evening, shut off my 2009 LTX 1050VT with a Briggs & Stratton 440000 Intek engine. Next day turned the key, and nothing...slight click of solenoid with repeated turning of the key...sometimes nothing at all. I checked the battery with a multimeter, but the multimeter's...

    What is this for?

    I ordered a new starter for my Cub Cadet with a Briggs & Stratton engine. It came with a metal strip. What is the metal strip for, what to do with it? https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2057872.m570.l1312.R2.TR0.TRC2.A0.H1.TRS5&_nkw=Briggs+%26+Stratton+starter&_sacat=0

    LTX 1050VT will not turn over.

    Addendum: I took the starter out of the machine and connected it via jumper cables directly to my battery Red to positive post, Black to negative post (starter: negative on starter bracket, positive to the terminal). No spin on starter. Starter has been ordered.

    LTX 1050VT will not turn over.

    I have an eleven year-old Cub Cadet that will not start. It ran fine one night, shut it off, would not start in the morning. The solenoid would click, but not turn the engine over. Replaced the solenoid...now when I turn the key to start, the solenoid buzzes. Just to avoid dumb...

    How much should I ask?

    I have a LTX 1050 VT Hydrostatic Cub Cadet that I have replaced with a new XT1 ST54FAB. The LTX was purchased in May of 2009...11 years old but in excellent condition including a new seat, extra new front tire, wider deck pulleys installed, all maintenance done on schedule, all repairs made...

    Cub Cadet LTX 1050VT , Solenoid will not function.

    I was mowing today with my Cub Cadet LTX 1050VT and the mower belt solenoid stopped working. Belt is still in place. Engine was still running...just no power to the deck belt. I set the parking brake, shut the engine off and turned the key on, pulled out the solenoid knob. There was no sound...

    What to ask for LTX 1050 CUB CADET

    I am thinking of selling my LTX 1050 Cub Cadet (May 2009) and buying a new one. I wish to sell the old one to help offset the cost of a new one. The question is, what is a fair price for my 9 year-old tractor? It has been lubed and maintained as per the standard schedual. The only downside...
