    Frustrated with a Cub LT 1018 No Start problem

    At this point, believe i would begin looking at the safety switches malfunctioning. Specifically the seat switch which tests good some of the time. Years ago, I had a seat switch that worked perfectly since new. But there was wear on the plastic switch housing and one day I must have hit a...

    Do I actually need a blade balance?

    I have one of those type balancers, bought years ago. They are by far the most accurate and best way to balance a blade. Blade balance main purpose is to help the bearings in the spindle to last longer. Interestingly, I've found brand new blades that come unbalanced. Is it necessary? Not...

    Regent 15 hydro

    In my case, I was never able to fix it. The frame took the slight warp to the left. Tried repeatedly bouncing up and down on the right, nothing. Steel too thin on frame. Sorry, no help.
