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...

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.

Will the snow blower attachment model 190-303-100 fit a Cub 2542? From what I have read it will fit the 2000 series. Does. That include the 2542?

I recently washed the entire underside and motor for my 2542. Shortly after I experienced very hard steering and have narrowed it down to the steering gear. I did not realize there was a grease fitting on the gear as there has always been a plate that hid the zerk fitting. My question is, how...

After trying to use a walk behind snow blower this year and finding that they lack the power needed to throw the snow, I have been trying to locate a snow blower attachment for my 2542 to no avail. Just what model do I need and is there something compatible NOT in the Cub line? When I go on the...

I have a Cub model 2542 and I am in the process of changing the oil. I went to the local Cub dealer and was charged nearly 30 dollars for 2 qts of oil and a Kohler oil filter. Does anyone have a cross reference part for the Kohler oil filter part number KH-12-050-01-S. This was for cash and...

How often do you need to level the mower deck. I have a 2009 GT 2542 and I have releveled the deck at least 4 time this mowing season. Am I doing something wrong or is this standard? I bought the Cub Cadet Leveling gauge and I have been using it but it just seems to be a little too much to me...

I looked at the Cub 33" walk behind mower with the 13 1/2 HP mower today. Do not like the way my 2542 mows the lawn so I have been doing it with a 20" walk behind Craftsman mower but it takes about 2 hrs with the 20" mower. Any GOOD BAD or INDIFFERENT comments about the Cub 33" mower.

I changed the oil for the first time today on my 2542, What a pain in the rear. I decide I would change the oil drain fitting. For any one interested here is what I did. I removed the mower deck for ease of working underneath, I then removed the 4 motor mount bolts so I could lift the motor...

I tried leveling the deck and did OK on the side to side level but the front to rear is giving me fits. I tried loosening the nuts on the rod that holds up the front of the deck and was unable to using a 3/4" open box wrench. I then reverted to a 3/4" deep well scoket on a breaker bar. Still...

I bought a new Cub 2542 last June 2009 and it has about 25 hours on it. I am extremely disappointed with the job it does cutting the lawn. Mosttimes it leaves a narrow strip of cut grass piled up in the center of the deck and sometimes it does not cut completely. Am I doing something wrong, is...

Got a yr old 2542 and was wondering about replacing the stock blades with Gator Blades. Will I notice a difference? I talked to the dealer last month and he said that Cub had blades very similar to the Gator's. Any opinions?

I have noticed on this site and a couple of other sites the reference of an MTD snowblower on a Cub Cadet. Is there a MTD blower that is offered for a Cub 2500 series tractor or are these retrofitted to work on the Cub?

In the spring I bought a Cub 2542 but decided against the snow blower attachment. I am now having second thoughts about the snow blower attachment for the Cub. On my last tractor (JD Sabre)I saw that the added weight to the front end really changed the steering and handling capabilities making...

What should I look for to put a snow blower on my 2542? What is the approximate cost for one? I looked at the cub site on the computer but it does not show prices for attachments.

Will a snow blower from a model 2130 fit a model 2542?

Just recently purchased a new 2542 and was wondering where I could purchase a plow setup for this tractor. I realize that Cub sells them BUT I was wondering about other sites. I see them on EBAY but they are advertising for "narrow frame" and I am not sure if mine is narrow or wide.
