Over the past two or three years I have noticed that the shuttle shift lever has been getting tight and harder to move. It was first noticed in cold weather before the machine got good and warmed up. Once everything got some temperature in it, it was fine. Now, much stiffer than it used to...

I bought a used finish mower with too short of a PTO shaft. There was not enough overlap and the inner tube stretched the outer and today it failed when the outer tube split. The inner tube is badly worn and deformed as well, and can't be reused. All the other PTO shafts I have are even...

I needed to fuel up the 2010 4010 today. Nothing too odd about that. I noticed that after pouring in 6 gallons, it still was reading "Empty." That is strange, eh? But the last thing I noticed is while it's still on empty when the ignition key is turned off, the temp gage and hour meter are...

Hi, long time no see. Busier than a one armed paper hanger these days. When I got my R-4010 it had been sitting out at the dealer, in the weather at the coast, and had several corrosion related issues (serious rust in starter and loader valve controls). Since I got it, it has been under...

It appears the used Sitrex SM 230 mower I just got is the same as a Rhino XM750 as both call for two XPB 2800 metric drive belts. It has regular old solid "B" belts on it now and I can see these don't like the extreme back bending they have to endure, as both are seriously cracked and ready to...

For you 7*** owners out there: I am not near any dealers and I needed an air filter element in a hurry once about fifteen years ago. I took my plugged up one in to the NAPA store and tried to see if it was a standard element. Apparently it isn't. What I did find out is, it is identical to a...

I got what I think is a German gauge, measuring in Bars, at a used tool place for $2. I spent a bit more for the quick connects and the 8 brass fittings, something like $33. But I finally have one. The gauge had a thread on it that matched nothing at the industrial supply, but it was close to...

Mahindra 2815, 3015, or 3215 to Cub Cadet 7*** series Mitsubishi built, K3M powered models. My tires are in SW Washington near the Columbia River. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/cub-cadet-yanmar-cuts/274433-will-trade-ags-r4s.html#post3238821

When I got my used 7300, I learned by the time I drove it the 50 feet from the trailer to its new house that ag tires were not going to work here. They really tore up the ground, even going straight. I now have it on the foamed R4s from my old tractor. If I ever get my old 7274 going again, I...

Does anyone have this schematic and can take pictures of it for me? I have the schematic for a '96 7274 but it looks like lots of things changed in that five years.

I finally found a replacement K3M Mitsu. engine block for my '96 Cub Cadet 7274. The only problem is, it is in a 2001 7300 with only 250 hours on it. So, it makes the most sense to take all the trick stuff off the old one, rather than the engine out of the new one. The '96 had aftermarket...

It started doing this a while back and I adjusted the hi screw and it seemed okay the next couple of times I used it. Now I can't get it to run at more than half throttle at all. Plug looks good and it cuts as well as could be expected at half throttle. Air filter has been cleaned. Anyone...

Anyone have one they don't need?

There is a small argon cylinder in a thrift store I go to. It seems to be full to some degree. It has a valve like a tire valve and I pushed it and it is still pressurized. It says it is non-refillable (under penalty of law). It is a pretty stout looking bottle and I am wondering why...

I did 16 five foot alder trunk wood logs four years ago. This year I have done 23 four foot alder limb wood logs. Of course there will be no mushrooms from these until next year. I'm not finished yet, as I have another batch of spawn ordered. Still getting a few mushrooms from the old...

How long should we be warming up our small diesel engines? Why do you say so? I've known people who have had widely varying opinions on this. I don't know what's best, but I would like to.

If I had it to do over, I'd never buy this chipper, but now I've got too much time and work invested and must go with it. Too late, I discovered that it was not only not what I would have wanted, but it wasn't well made either. It was the most I had ever spent on any implement ($2,300 back...

It's been looking like all my power tool cords are falling apart at the same time. I don't know if it's ozone, or what, but the rubber insulation is just disintegrating. So, what I would like to know is, is there a good cheap source for three wire replacement cords? I have some long extension...

The side links on my R4010 are clevis top with a 3 inch hinged section at the top end. The adjustable one ranges around and about 17 inches overall. The top clevis is one inch wide. I'm finding most manufactured side links out there on the interwebs are too long.

Someone commented on my saw scabbard, so I took some closeups. This one is a big improvement over the rustic wooden one I had on my old tractor. I used stainless bolts and locknuts, aluminum plate, the bar cover that came with the saw, and couple pieces of wood to box it in. I put in some 3/4...

I got the steel on Wednesday to build my six feet on center log forks for my R4010 LS. I will be taking pictures when I remember to. And when I get to where I can post them, I will (maybe, depending on how awful my welds look :laughing:). I'm doing this to get the logs as close in to the...

I have been forgetting to release the brake lever. I've done it several times already. When it's on hard enough to hold it on a slight hill, it's almost unnoticeable when I put power to the wheels. I don't know how many times I can get away with my normal forgetfulness. I went about 600...

I just got one.

For fifteen years I used my little 27 horse Cub Cadet bucket forks as a saw buck. I have a bad back and can't do my bucking bent over logs on the ground. So, I have always held the log up at chest height and I just let the saw climb into the cut. I cut most of the way through (I've learned...

I'm at 29 hours. Finished about thirty miles of mowing some of the disc golf course fairways today (2 1/2 weeks of rank spring growth). In those three weeks I've been modifying Young Blue to be my new firewood machine. So far, my old homemade forks are modified to fit the new bucket. Chain...

How about it? Be the first one on your block to have tandem cup holders. I need a handle on both sides of my R4010. I cover a lot of bumpy ground and do some scary side-hill antics. If I had a cup in the holder, it would jump out and go under the mower anyway. I'll pay the freight both...

Hi, name's Bob. I'm up here in sunny SW Washington. I have been spying on this site for several months, ever since my Cub Cadet committed suicide. I thought I'd killed it, but I was wrong. I'll be asking about that issue when I've got time to work on it again. I discovered this forum...

Hi, I'm brand new here and haven't been to the new members thread yet. That's because I joined up to get some help. I don't have the repair manual that the dealer promised me yet so, no wiring diagrams. I bought a Sure Power battery isolator for my box scraper mounted Warn winch like the one...
