Hi Troops, With spring just around the corner and an ailing engine on my Tiger Cub, I just ordered a new repower engine. Having agonized some about this, I decided to go with a Briggs 49M977 which is a 30HP twin with the cyclonic air filtration system. I really wanted a Kawasaki FX730, but the...

Hi Troops, I'm new here on the Hustler group but I'm an old timer with power equipment. The cemetery assoc of which I am a member just had an engine failure on their 1993 Excel 260K, not bad for a 19 year old machine, 2,100 hours on the Kohler Magnum 20. Over the years I've maintained this...

Hi Troops, I finally got around to doing some servicing on my Tiger Cub. This is my first time leveling the deck and it took me 4 hours. The owners manual covers the basics however I had to get a little creative to level the deck side to side and then the fore and aft leveling was easy. I set...

Hi Folks, I'm disappointed that LMF has an advertiser that has taken the liberty to set tracking cookies when logging onto this site. One of the reasons that I liked LMF was no tracking cookies, but now that has changed. Many companys have violated the basic rules regarding tracking/roaming...

Hi Troops, Initially was just going to replace the blades, but while removing the collection blower I noticed that its belt was bad and while changing the belt I noticed that the blower shaft bearings were both bad. I keep the belts in stock, but not the bearings. While I was at it I removed the...

I stopped at my local Scag dealer today and the parts department is stocking the third different brand of fuel filters since 2008 when I bought my Tiger Cub. I replace fuel filters yearly and when I attempted to replace the second fuel filter it streached as I tried to remove the fuel hoses as...

Hi Troops, The intermittent cranking problem on my Tiger Cub got worse today as I was servicing it so I got into it with a colored wiring diagram that I downloaded from the Scag site. Nice to have a color coded diagram!!! I removed the control panel from the left hand fuel tank and beginning at...

Hi Troops, Been hauling my Tiger Cub around in my cargo trailer and it turns to the right which puts the collection blower tight against the trailer interior and chaffes. Not a serious problem but with the dethatcher mounted on the front it bangs against the stuff that I have forward in my...

Hi Troops, I finally got around to posting some pics of my machines. They are old pics and I will take some soon when my machines are setup for the season. The pic of my Scag Tiger Cub was taken minutes after driving it out of my trailer as a new machine in Aug of 2008. I mowed commercially with...

Hi Troops, Ordered and received air filters and blades for my Scag Tiger Cub/26 Briggs ELS in prep for what may be an early mowing season. The way the weather has been so far, this spring season may just be around the corner. I just lost the contract for a big job to someone that wants to work...

Hi troops, I started to change the blades on my Scag Tiger Cub 48" deck today and ran into a problem. even with a 400FTLB impact wrench and the air compressor at max pressure, I couldn't remove the nut on the R/H blade bolt. I had to drill small holes progressively on opposite sides of the nut...

Hi Troops, I have a Scag Tiger Cub with a 48" deck and a collection system. The deck spindles on this machine have grease fittings and a relief valve on the opposite side. My manual calls for lube at 40 hour intervals and a special grease. The 40 hour interval conflicts with my 25 and 50 hour...

Hi Troops, Lately my 2008 Scag Tiger Cub/26B&S has been cranking intermittently. I disconnected the battery after charging it, cleaned all the electrical connections both high and low amperage, replaced the starter solenoid, but still intermittent cranking. I installed a second battery ground...

Hi Troops, Replaced the 8" hose on my Scag ZTR collection system as the original one was getting tired. I was pleased with the increase in airflow while picking up leaves. The new hose has a much smoother interior and this contributes to the better airflow. I patched up the holes in the old hose...
