Background: We have a wooded lot. It is a little under three acres with probably close to a thousand trees on it. It is on the side of a hill thus a large portion has a 4-to-7-degree slope. We are currently mowing it with a Cub Cadet LT2138 lawn tractor, which has a 38-inch deck. It is taking...

I’m having a problem keeping the PTO belt on my 2004 Cub Cadet LT2138 lawn tractor. Sometimes it works for an engagement or two and then jumps off the pullies. I had a similar problem several years go and it ended up being a bad spindle and went away after I replaced the bad part. I have to...

My LT2138 is making a scraping noise when power takeoff is disengaged. It goes away when I engage it. Any suggestion as to what is causing this? Is there something I should have been lubricating?

I have plowed our concrete driveway and blacktop street for years with my Cub Cadet LT2138. It has a front mounted snow blade. Our new house has a gravel driveway. Are there any adjustments I should make to the blade setup? I was wondering if the skid pads under the blade should be extended for...

For the last year of so we have had occasional problems getting the starter to work. Normally it just took re-engaging the brake. Last week I noticed that the engine died when I left the seat even with the parking brake engaged. Then on Saturday I could not restart the engine no matter...

These blades have "hitch palates" that are inserted into the front frame channel. Every year I struggle to get them inserted. Does anyone have BDT hints? Once I get this part done the rest of the task is a snap! :)
