I am thinking of replacing my 13 year old Cub 2542. Unhooking and rehooking the mower deck has finally become a chore I no longer look forward to. I use the machine for snow blowing in the winter which requires me to remove the mower and store it and the same goes for the snow blower in the...

Only took about 4 days but the light went out. Thanks for the replies.

Does anyone know where the oil pressure switch is located?

Just checked the lights and the parking brake light is off. The oil light is BRIGHT and fills the indicator and after it starts it is about half power and kind of between the 12 and 3 position in the indicator. I think I will take the suggestions and let it dry completely for the next few days...

I have a 2007 GT 2542 that I bought new. It has the 20HP Kohler motor. I changed the oil and filter yesterday at 404 hours and noticed it was extremely filthy so I decide to clean the motor of debris. I sprayed the motor with a degreaser and then hosed it off. Upon restarting to dry it off I...

Looking at Cub ZT1 42” but am reluctant to take the jump. I purchased a zero turn several years ago and crashed it twice in the 3 weeks I owned it. I have a hilly yard and did not realize that to brake it you had to pull back on the handles as there were no brakes. Has Cub put brakes on the zero...

Posted before about a Cub 2542 with a 42" snowblower and got some good suggestions. Going to try again. Same tractor, same snowblower. Has anyone tried to put a rubber scraper on the bottom edge of their snowblower? If so, what were the results and where did you get the scraper? I have tried all...

I have an older GT2542 that I put a snow blower on for winter. I am a big guy with my weight close to 240 lbs. In addition to the snow blower I have 50 lb weights bolted to each rear wheel and a weight bar with 75 lbs of weight bolted to the rear and me on the tractor. I then put tire chains on...

I have a Cub model 2542 with the Hydrostatic transmission with about 235 hours on it. Do I need to change all of the transmission fluid if I am only changing the spin off filter. Can I just remove the filter without all of the oil spilling out of the transmission?

Just changed the oil and filter plus the transmission filter on a 20hp Kohler Cub model 2542. Its ridiculous what the dealer charges for 1 quart of hydrostatic transmission fluid. What I am looking for is cross reference numbers for the Oil Filter, Transmission Filter and transmission fluid for...

I finally got around to mounting the 190-341 snow blower attachment to my 2542 Tractor. When the snow blower is on the ground ready to blow snow the "lift handle" is approximately parallel to my arm pit. When I raise the attachment with the lift handle, the handle is parallel to the foot rest...

Well I finally found the snow blower attachment for my 2542. I found a 190-341 on the local Craigslist and now I am looking for advice on weights for the rear of the tractor. Am I better off with wheel weights or the suitcase weights for the rear of the tractor? What other weights has anybody...

Does anyone know if the snow blower attachment model 190 303 100 will fit the GT 2542 tractor.

I have a model GT 2542 and I am looking for a snow blower attachment. It seems that Cub has stopped making the model 190-341. Does anyone know if there is any other model that will fit my tractor.

Is there anyplace that I can get a criss cross for snow blower attachments. I guess they have stopped manufacturing the model 190-341 and I am trying to find something that that will fit My tractor is a model 2542 Cub.
