    5252 will not leave park, dies

    The problem is indeed the seat switch, or else corroded contacts. I tried shoving a piece of wire across--no dice. I cut the connector off, stripped the wire ends and nutted them together, this worked great. I'm telling myself that I missed this obvious problem because I'm getting over the flu...

    5252 will not leave park, dies

    Yes, talking the problem through with my wife brought that out. I'll see if I can figure out where the interlock is. The documentation at this level of detail isn't great.

    5252 will not leave park, dies

    I have a Cub 5252 tractor with snow blower attached. It starts fine. After warm-up, choke back to zero, sitting on the tractor, I try to take it out of park. Engine immediately dies. The same happens if I keep it in park and turn on the snow blower. Is this an engine load issue? Some kind of...

    Cub 5252 with engine knock--what's it worth?

    The engine compression turns out to be fine. Checked U joints, fine. Put it all back together, no knock. One of the mysteries I guess. It all works fine now.

    Cub 5252 with engine knock--what's it worth?

    The engine spec number is CH730-0115. The local farm machinery repair (cub dealer) told me that they could not find parts or replacement engines. They also said that the -0115 can refer to driveshaft height. If I had an engine with a lower drive shaft, I could just shim the mounting. Too tall...

    Cub 5252 with engine knock--what's it worth?

    The problem there is finding something that fits. I could see that chewing up time and money. Thanks though.

    Cub 5252 with engine knock--what's it worth?

    Our 5252 is 19 years old. The engine quit on me when snowblowing, won't start and it knocks. I don't really want to rebuild it; plus it looks like parts are pretty scarce. Cub 5252, knocking engine (Kohler CH730S) 818 snow blower, good working condition, definitely well used 812 front end...

    Snowblower  Cub 48" snowblower model number/parts

    In 2003 we bought a Cub 5252 tractor (smallest one that would take a front end loader), a loader and a 48" snowblower. One of the axels that the main snow screws are driven off of has broken (due to a poorly drilled shear pin hole by yours truly). So I need a part. The dealer we bought it all...
