    Cub Cadet XT2 decision time- new or used?

    Yeah, seems to have most of the features of the TS242XD. Pros of YT42DXLS: Cheaper Has CTEK charge port and Battery indicator (I installed one on mine, it's so nice to have!) Auto-locking differential Cons of YT42DXLS would be: No warranty No repair/service history

    ORANGE 3-BLADE LAWN TRACTOR DECK IDENTIFICATION

    That's a 48" mowing deck from a 2012 Husqvarna YTH 24K48 Riding Mower. Worth good money for sure.

    Cub Cadet XT2 decision time- new or used?

    Yeah, belt is nothing to worry about. It is very easy to align the steering wheel if you do get it. Nice they offered a discount for it though! The metal hood is a HUGE plus. Also, it isn't hard to just remove the chute if you get it.

    I would hope that people are changing their oil sooner than that.

    Craftsman 190cc Push Mower

    Sounds like a bad ignition coil. When they get old, they become "heat-sensitive", which is why it doesn't want to start. Or bad gas cap vent/some other fuel system blockage.

    Cub Cadet XT2 decision time- new or used?

    Hey, I would do that. The trip would be well worth it IMO. Husqvarnas tend to keep their value similar to JD. Did you buy your Riding mower with the Briggs vtwin new?

    Kohler Command CV22 throttle linkage no response

    Incorrect setup, cable needs to be set, or need heavier throttle spring.

    That probably bent the frame mounts if I had to guess.

    Cub Cadet XT2 decision time- new or used?

    While I love to snag a deal on used mowers, I think there is a pro with new equipment that you know all of the history, condition, maintenance, etc. If you bought a used mowers, it can sometimes be a tossup regarding the mechanical condition of the equipment and engine. With a new mower, if you...

    Cub Cadet XT2 decision time- new or used?

    Have you looked into Husqvarna Garden Tractors at all? I know they make, or made, a few models with fabricated 42/46/48" decks and came with Briggs V-Twins, which you would be familiar with, or Kawasaki V-Twins like in the JD. Husqvarna also has a lifetime warranty on their fabricated decks, so...

    John Deeres also seem to retain their value really good, which is probably why that 10 year old X350 is still worth 2k.

    Used mower pricing.

    For example, if I was selling a 2018 Husqvarna GT52XLSi, whose original price was $3500, Assuming everything is immaculate and fairly low hours, It could be sold for around $1500-1800. So typically around half of original price. You also have to factor in how the older models from around 2015 or...

    YTH24K48 steering

    yeah, there's an older model with a slightly thicker steering shaft and a newer one that's thinner. It can be hard to tell the difference so usually best to just buy the set.

    Looking to swap a CVT to Hydrostatic transmission

    Hey all, I have a 2014 Craftsman Pro Series T7400 with one of those RS800 plastic transmissions and I'm looking to put something else on it. It has a heavy 54" reinforced deck and I mow a hilly property. I have a Tuff Torq K46 sitting around from a parts mower, but I'm worried that if I rebuilt...

    John Deere X350 vs Cub Cadet XT2

    That $900 difference is the difference between the Kohler running maybe 800 hours or more, and the Kawasaki which are known to easily get more than 1000 hours. As you say, Buy once, cry once, I just don't see that with the cub cadet.

    Advice on what brand is most reliable these days

    Husqvarna is a great brand, best new mower brand if you ask me, but If you have 2 acres, don't bother even thinking about getting a base model Husqvarna like the YTH18542. It won't have enough power for your property and was made with the bare minimum features, like a weak transmission and a...

    Husqvarna TS138 (2015) Ride on mower, intermittent drive

    If it has a CVT, then that actually makes sense. I've had several riding mowers that had similar problems dues to a worn CVT belt, the thick belt on top of the transmission. With mine, I didn't want to have any more problems, so I ordered a GENUINE GT37401 CVT belt (dont waste your money on...

    John Deere X350 vs Cub Cadet XT2

    With half an acre, you'll probably hit the 4 year mark before 300 hours, so the JD warranty takes the win there. Kawasaki is often regarded as the "gold standard" for the best air-cooled engines. I really love them. Manual PTO could have it's fair advantages only that there are less parts that...

    Backfiring from full throttle to idle

    I don't know much about small engine EFI systems, but maybe something to do with the injectors or an o2 sensor?
  38. Craftsman Garage

    Backfiring from full throttle to idle

    This is usually normal to some extent because when you lower it to idle, you are blocking the air from entering, which sets the mixture uneven temporarily, and that unburnt fuel is pushed into the hot muffler where it explodes. It wouldn't backfire if you always kept it at full throttle as you...

    Yeah, that's where we have been buying parts. I did discover how good 8TEN blades were, now I put them on everything! Hipa makes some good parts too.

    Where are you guys getting your parts?

    Me and my dad are running a repair business. I fix the riding mowers, he fixes mostly JD 300 series(316, 318), 400 series(425, 445,455), and JD gators. Where are you repair guys getting your parts? It sets him back a while waiting for JD OEM parts to ship, etc. (Not to mention how outrageous JD...

    D110 Issue

    Are you able to turn the starter? May be a bad/stuck starter. I had a starter with a bad top bushing that got hot, blew up the magnet and that was the end of it of course. Sometimes those starters also get stuck in the engaged position. I say next step would be pull the engine shroud, and pull...

    Cold engine surging

    Well, when you think about it, it actually makes sense, similar to what ILENGINE said. When air is cold, it is more dense, thus the engine actually pulls more air in with the same stroke. The fuel mixture stays the same whether cold or hot. So it runs lean for a little bit, but it's normal and...

    Super Z mini wiring confusion

    As you know, I’ve been trying to replace the blown Honda gxv670 in my hustler super z mini. I found a good Briggs and Stratton 24HP vtwin with less than 100 hours for $170 and I’m trying to adapt it to work. One of the problems is this is my first ztr that I’ve worked on and there are relays for...

    Too Much Oil?

    It probably has a lot of old oil remaining in it, which would account for the extra ounces.

    Too Much Oil?

    The spec is 48oz. Did you change the oil filter too? Just run it for a few minutes to let the oil fill up the filter and oil passages, etc. Are you on any kind of incline?

    16 HP opposed twin repair, replace, or recycle?

    I would do whatever you can to fix it up. I've got an opposed twin from 1985 that's still running good, just needs new rings.
