I just ordered third party replacement blades for my Toro push mower and Cub 54 inch deck. They came from two different suppliers. The Toro blade has a pretty good edge on the blade but the Cub blades have a rounded edge and you wouldn't be able to cut yourself with the blade even if you tried...

I have a new 2015 Enduro XT3 GSX and just did my annual lube & maintenance to start the mowing season. The GSX has 2 zerk fittings on the steering gear. One is angled and the other is horizontal. The fittings are located beneath the battery just above the deck. I have a lever operated grease gun...

Does anyone else have a new Enduro with the triple bagger? I bought a 2015 Enduro XT3 GSX with the 19A40004100 Triple Bagger. I had the dealer install it because it has a thousand parts. It took me 20 minutes to get the chute attached to the deck. I wasn't sure if it went above the toe guard or...

I'm trying to find a wiring diagram for a 2015 Cub Cadet XT3 GSX tractor. The MTD web site doesn't list Cub as one of its products anymore. Is that true? The diagrams don't seem to be readily available as they were for 1000, 2000, and 3000 series. Bob B.

I just noticed that the MTD web site no longer lists Cub Cadet as a product. CubCadet.com is now a web site but lists only 1000 and 2000 models. Are there no more 3000 series tractors? I don't recall seeing anything about these changes. Bob B.

I was unable to find very much info about replacing the PTO belts so I'm posting my experience today replacing the matching pair of belts. I imagine all 3000 series & perhaps others are similar. My belts were glazed and cracked with 1 belt having a deep crack. The mower seemed slow to come up to...

Boy, I got a shock today when I stopped at my local dealer to buy a gallon of synthetic Drive System Fluid Plus for my 3235. The last gallon I bought a couple years ago was in the upper $30 range. Today it was $48 with tax. I couldn't find it on the shelf with all the other oil and went to the...

While I was gone on a 9-day bus trip my daughter was able to get the 3235 out of the barn for the first time because of the soft wet yard. She mowed twice during that time and got buried in the mud at the rear of the lot. She had to call my son-in-law to help push it out. She got stuck once more...

I received a postcard giving a website to file a claim for numerous gas lawn mowers (push & riding) purchased between 1-1-94 and 4-12-2010. It involves various engine manufacturers including B & S and Kohler overstating horsepower. When I tried to enter info from my 2004 3235 it asked for...

I adjusted my 3235 for the maximum forward speed which resulted in it just barely crawling in reverse. I made a bracket to increase the reverse pedal travel by 1-3/8 inches, which now allows it to go much faster in reverse. I could probably now tweak a little more forward speed out of it but...

I noticed the end roller on my 54 inch deck (3235) was flopping around. It looks like an insert came out of it. There are seven wooden rollers on the rear and one on the front. I bought 2 to replace the two end rollers. The new ones were $15 apiece and made out of plastic. Also the spring broke...

My back yard finally dried up enough that I could get my tractor out to mow and do an oil change and lube job. I have trouble getting my grease gun on the 2 U-joint fittings on the deck drive shaft. I bought a smaller adapter but couldn't find it. I removed the front U-joint from the splined...

Has anyone had problems with the governor on the Kohler Command 25? My 3235 is acting up and sometimes it stays at idle with full throttle and sometimes won't idle down when the throttle is pulled back. I haven't had time to really look at it but I sprayed some lubricating oil on the linkage...

The gas level sensor appears to be stuck on my 3235. I removed the seat and can reach it but am not sure if there is room to pull it out. Does anyone know how it is held in place. I can't tell if it just snaps in or has some kind of locking mechanism. I can twist it with a pair of pliers...

I have the 54 inch shaft driven mowing deck. The deck has a gearbox to transmit the power from the driveshaft to the belt drive pulley. There is no mention in the literature about the lubrication of the gearbox. It looks like it may have a plug to fill and/or check the oil (if that's what it...

I just pulled the 54 inch deck from my 2004 3235 to clean the deck, sharpen the blades and apply POR-15. To my surprise there isn't much left to sharpen. I have the high-lift blades, PN 742-3044 for the bagger. They have a wing bent upwards on the reverse edge of the blade. The blade nearest the...

My daughter mowed while I was out of town and told me the low fuel light stayed on. I filled it to the top today and the light still stayed on. Does anyone know how this operates? Maybe a bad switch or could a loose wire cause it? Is there anywhere that a wiring diagram can be downloaded...

I noticed there seemed to be a lot of play in the power steering on my 3 year-old 3235. I was afraid I had hydraulic problems but I got off and rocked the steering wheel back and forth and noticed the steering arm on the left wheel was moving back and forth a bit before the wheels moved. The...

I have a 3235, purchased new in 2004, with 123 hours on it. The last 2 times mowing it seemed that the power steering hesitated slightly when turning fast (felt like a slipping belt on a car), Today I noticed the deck was sluggish in raising and wouldn't raise at all when idling until I...

Has something changed on the forum layout? I was unable to find the web page for a couple days and had to truncate the URL. I then was unable to login and found that my user name had been changed from Bainbridge to Bob_Bainbridge. Bob B.

I went to Lowes today and they had 3 Cub Cadet Hydro filters 723-3014 left, which I bought. The documentation with my 3235 calls for 923-3014 which apparently has replaced the 723-3014. I see other filters listed which cross reference to either number and the dimensions seem to be the same. Does...

I replaced my 26 year old 1450 with a new 3235 in June. I really like it (after enabling reverse mowing) except with a 54 inch deck and bagger it's a little too wide to fit in a couple places that the 1450 navigated with no problem. One big omission IMO was the elimination of an ammeter. It...

SInce subscribing to this baord my Zone Alarm firewall keeps popping up alerts that www.tractorbynet.com attempted to access the internet. This happens even when my browser is closed. I have a DSL connection so I am always connected. Anyone know why this would be happening? I ran Spybot and am...

I changed the engine oil and filter on my new Cub Cadet 3235 today as recommended at 10 hours first time. I replaced the original filter, which is 2-5/8 long with a Fram PH3614 filter that I use on our 2 Saturns. It is the same diameter and thread but is 3-3/8 long. Does anyone see a problem...

I had a Cub Cadet 1450, made by IH, for 26 years and 1150 hours. Shortly after purchasing I ordered all the service and parts manuals from International and was able to keep it running well for all those years. I just replaced it with a new 3235 and 54 inch mower. I received a parts manual with...
