    Cub cadet gt1554 pro problems

    My cub cadet gt1554 is having pto problems. The clutch will engage and then stop right away. Sometimes doesn’t even start and other times will start for half a second then once in a great while go for a few seconds. Already replaced pto switch, and battery. Is there a relay somewhere or do I...

    Found 2007 GT1554 with 21 hours total

    Have been wanting another mower to replace/backup my 2006 Cub Cadet GT1554. Unknown hours since the digital meter failed years ago. Guess is at least 900+, likely much more. It's been a fantastic mower and no complaints (other than the known steering issues for this model). New riding mowers are...

    Trying To Identify My GT1554

    I was given a GT1554 with a Kohler 27HP Courage Engine. Engine needed work and that has been completed and runs excellent. My problem now is identifying which GT1554 I have as the ID tag under the seat is faded and from what I can determine that makes a difference in parts for the 54" deck. Cub...

    GT1554 keeps throwing deck belt...can you help?

    I recently bought a GT1554 with the 54" deck and it keeps throwing the deck belt - previous owner said it would happen sometimes but not as often as it does now. All the pulleys turn quiet and easy and are not damaged. When I put a level across the pulleys they are all even except the one on...

    GT1554 steering issue

    Trying to help a friend diagnose the problem with steering on his GT1554. While driving forward everything tracks fine. Back up and both front wheels toe in to the point they leave scuff marks on concrete. We replaced the plastic bushings in the drag links and both tie rod ends. This helped a...

    GT1554 leaves a lot of grass laying

    I have a GT1554 and it has always had an issue with leaving my yard looking like a hay field. I'm mowing every other day and the grass doesn't mulch up it just lays on top of the grass. Makes for a lot of raking. Are there any deck mods or replacement decks that would perform better?

    Pto clutch on gt1554

    A few days ago I replaced my drive belt on my cub cadet gt1554. This required the removal of the pto clutch. When reassembling I did not have a torque wrench to accurately torque the bolt on the pto clutch. Everything worked fine for a few days and then all of the sudden I begin blowing 20 amp...

    GT1554 Snow Blade Install

    Follow up to my post asking for a Cub Cadet dealer in the St. Louis area - apparently there aren't many members here from St. Louis because my request for someone to recommend a good dealer had zero responses - Dad lives in a west county suburb (he just moved here over the summer) and had called...

    PTO problems on Cub Cadet GT1554

    Howdy Gang, My PTO started acting up a couple of weeks ago where the PTO would randomly not engage. It has become progressively worse and it now does not work at all. The switch seems to be fine as I have checked voltage on the two-wire terminal the connects to the PTO and I am seeing around...

    GT1554 rear deck rollers

    I recently bought a used GT1554 that is missing the rear deck rollers / shaft / brackets / etc. This hasn't been a huge issue, but it does occasionally score my yard in a few places and I'd like to fix this. I can't find the assembly as a whole, and individually at M&D all of the parts come to...

    Greetings! This is my first post, google pointed me here, you folks have a great wealth of knowledge! I just bought a used GT1554 with 110 hours on the clock, in decent shape (not perfect mind you) for $1200. I've already replaced the deck belt as the deck would shake and shudder and PTO...

    GT1554 Use automotive type fog lamps?

    I'm really disliking the headlights on my garden tractor. Would the electrical support the removal of the stock bulbs and sockets, and replace with automotive 55w driving lights? I was going to fab a bracket, pull out the sockets and front clear plastic lens, and mount them there.

    GT1554 Spindle Bearing or spacer shot...

    Looks like it's about time to replace/rebuilt the spindles on my GT1554, about right at 250 hours and the amount of abuse it has taken the last three years, one of the deck blades just can free spin, can not torque down enough and locks it when an extra space is added. I'm going for complete...

    GT1554 TRANS LEAK

    I recently purchased a CC GT1554 from HD. I've been pretty pleased so far. I went out to the garage today and noticed oil on the floor beneath the tranny. I got down to further inspect and it look liked it was leaking from the pump housing (I think that's right, it was some sort of housing in...

    CC GT1554 stalls when mower is engaged

    I do not have a manual for this tractor yet as TSC lost it and the new one hasn't arrived yet. However, it is a GT1554 and when I engage the mower deck at 3/4 throttle it shakes real bad and stalls. I have to have the mower at full throttle and engage the mower and it still shakes real bad and...
