So I found the Manufacturer on the pump/module and I was pretty sure the module was bad. I was happy to hear I could buy the module for $250 with a 30 day return window. Picked it up yesterday, 15 minutes to reinstall and I was mowing with restored power steering. $250 is pricey but I was just...

Thanks Richard, I noticed this company sells the control module separately and have also discovered my module has an LED that can be used for diagnostics. I'm still trying to get inf from the MFG. My module has power in, no power out and when you power the pump directly, it works...

Thanks Richard, I saw similar pumps on the website of the company that made the pumps for Cub. Curt

I was doing my first spring mowing a week ago and the first issue was a dead battery. It had been on a tender all winter and showed green, but didn't even turn over. I replaced the battery and off I went mowing. I realized the power steering wasn't working, still usable but tight turns will wear...

OK, This is yet another disappointmet in a 5252 I bought in 2006, I'm guessing this is the death knoll for this tractor. I'm trying to get some mowing done and I hear a transmision whine and then no drive. I'm guessing it's the dreaded 5000 series tranny fail. I can see the driveshaft spinning...

I took my deck off this weekend to clean and sharpen blades. I noticed the original belt tying the three spindles together was a little worn , so I thought i'd get a backuo at a local belt shop. It looks like you need to loosen the gearbox to get the belt clear for removal. I discovered the nut...

Hi, I just picked up a 1990 Case 245 in great shape. I have two questions. First, has anyone used the 72F Case blade. This came with the blade and frame but appears to be missing parts, no hydraulic cylinder or any other mechaism to lift. I searched without success for a diagram or picture...

My Cub 5252 recently had a failure of the hourmeter, tach and fuel gauge. The tach and hourmeter are blank, like no power. I was hoping to find a 3A fuse blown but no such luck, I checked, unplugged and plugged the harness to the dash, pushed wires around, still no go. I thought someone might...

I looked at a 2004 M48S today with 120 hours. Are there any known issues with this model. It had the Kohler Command 18HP, ran good, sounded good, asking price was $3300. It also had the stamped deck, which looked solid/well made. Thanks for any insight anyone might have. Curt

I saw this browsing Ebay today, if it would fit my 5252, I'd buy it. $1500 for a new blower, hitch and hydraulic kit and free shipping. Maybe someone else here could take advantage? I'm still using my 1872 and 451 blower but neither of us are gettin any younger. Curt NEW CUB CADET SNOW...

My 1872 wouldn't start yesterday, no spark. I removed the ground lead from the ignition module, still no spark. Is there anything else I should look at before I pull the engine and replace the ignition module? Thanks, Curt

Hi Guys, I was mowing tonight between rains and my deck wheel turned sideways when it caught on the edge of the drive and knocked this tire off the wheel. Any tips to get this tire back on? It's hard to see in the picture, but there is a ridge around the inside of the tire thats really going...

This weekend, I attempted to start the 1872, (Kohler 18HP Magnum) it sounded odd and only turned over slightly. It actually sounded like something was locked mechanicaly. Short story, the cylinders were full of gas and the oil was contaminated. My assuption was the float stuck open and allowed...

Here's what I think is the perfect hitch. It's on my 1872. The upper ball works well moving my 16 foot landscape trailer. The lower works well on the smaller trailers and the drawbar work on those devices that don't have a coupler, like my broadcast spreader that's going to get a workout today...

I was throwing some snow last week, it was about a foot deep and close to zero degrees and I heard a loud bang from the tractor. The tractor is an old 1872 SGT. I was able to back up to see some odd looking parts in my path. Seems my hydro cooling fan exploded... I figure I'm good on that till...
