cub cadet lt1045

The belt part No: 754-0461Idler pulley No: 756-0116A Quite easy to replace the drive belt and pulley.

If you have slow speed problem on the mower, try to find adjust speed linkage first. The problem should be solved easily. Thank you John

I have a Cub Cadet LT1045 Riding mower with a deck belt coming off all the time problem. It is not convenient if the deck belt came off while mowing. The simple way to fix was Installed a belt guard next to the main idler. No more problem. If you have deck belt off problems, consider installing...

Have a Cub Cadet LT1045 with a 20 hp Briggs & Stratton Intek Extended Life Series V-Twin. Cannot get it to start. It died last winter right before I parked it. Thus far, 1. Replaced the spark plugs (needed done anyway), matched gap to the old spark plugs. 2. Sprayed starter fluid in air intake...

I bought a used Cub Cadet LT1045 a couple years back (Kohler Courage 20HP, 150hrs), and ever since I've had it its been hard to start. Especially compared to the Craftsman Riding mower with Briggs engine I had before that. That one would crank right up every time in about 2 seconds. Basically...

Cruising along, first mowing of the year and suddenly forward movement stopped dead like it had hit a wall. Smoke billowed from under the deck area, but cleared when I shut off the engine. Then I could hear a whirring noise from the rear end which continued for maybe 2 minutes or so...

My Cub Cadet LT1045 decided to quit on me a couple weeks ago. I covered it with a tarp and left it in the yard until I could get time to play with it. I thought the issue was a bad battery, so in a pinch I swapped it out with another fully charged mower battery I had, albeit rated at only 130...

Where's the best place to buy parts for the LT1045 lawn tractor? A mouse chewed through several wires and almost through the spark plug wire. I spliced in the small wires and protected the plug wire and it runs fine, but I need to replace all of them. Is there an on-line source? I haven't...

Any one replace the hydrostatic belt on a 2007 or later model lt1045? A simple belt replacement turned into a nightmare. And am wondering if there are any tricks besides tearing the whole thing completely apart :mad:

Tractor is approximately 7 years old. I replaced all belts, spark plug, air filter, and 4 deck wheels 30 days ago and tractor has been running excellent. Today it stopped running halfway through cutting grass. It starts for 1-2 seconds but stops again. It has more than 1/2 tank of fresh gas. The...

My 2007 Cub Cadet LT1045 has a new battery. Last week the PTO started dropping out. The problem is very intermittent. May happen on a small incline or going down a small slope. It may work okay for 20 minutes and then fail 3 times in 5 minutes. Did notice that the blades stayed engaged once when...

I have a Cub Cadet LT1045 i think 2008 with 290 hrs on it. When i was mowing yesterday the mower deck belt came off again because the spring that keeps it tight came off the deck it actually pulled through the hole it goes in through the metal! Has anyone else ever had this happen? Does anyone...

My lt1045 will not start. After trying to start it and it spit just a little while in choke it now doesnt even spit. I checked gas, replaced plug, replaced oil, replaced, fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel solenoid. It has spark and ive tried ether and that will let it spit but not much. I checked...

Having a **** of a time getting the new belt over the front or idler pullies. Almost seems like the belt is 3"-4" too short! This is an '08 before they redesigned with the side by side pullies.

Hooked battery up backwards...now no start So I managed to be an idiot and hooked the battery up backwards on my LT1045. I tried starting it before I realized. Made sound as if about to start, then nothing. Realized mistake. Put battery in right but now it won't do anything. Help?

I just bought a used LT1045. Today my wife mowed with it for the first time. She had been mowing about 30 minutes when I noticed that sparks were coming from the muffler. I had her stop, and on closer inspection I could see that the muffler was bright red. It was so hot that the front tires were...

When I engage the transmission release lever (on the back of the tractor) it does not disengage the transmission - what might be causing that?

My gas tank apparently has some crud in it and I don't see a way to just drain it out the bottom - so I guess I'll have to remove the tank - how do I do that? Or am I just overlooking a drain plug somewhere?

I noticed the grass was not being cut as I expected it to be. I found the spindle on the right side to be spinning around without moving the blade down below. I can find no way to connect the spindle to the blade shaft. Is there any way to easily do this as I am not very mechanically inclined...

Howdy.. Just a guy from Louisiana... had Allis Chalmers, Oliver, Farmall... not much on John Deers.. Anyway, due to health reasons I got out of push mowers and got a Cub Cadet Lawn tractor.. I've already rebuilt the mower deck because the blade bearings failed after the first season. Now, I'm...

I was mowing with my Cub LT1045 and shut it down it add fuel. Unfortunately, it hasn't started since. The engine cranks fine but does not try to start. On the first few attempts, the engine backfired through the exhaust. Now it only cranks.... So far I have done the following: * Verified spark...

Forgive me if this has been discussed, I searched for this but had no luck.....I know that the hydrostat unit on these machines is considered sealed. However, has anyone come up with a way to change the hydrostat fluid? I figure worst case would be drilling and tapping a couple of holes in the...

I have a 2006 20hp Kohler V-twin LT-1045 (I know one of the rare ones) my question is can I disable the rod on the carberator that keeps the idle up? I like the slower normal idle.They call it a governed idle system.It keeps the idle no matter what the ambient temp. is etc.but I dont like...

And I'm not sure of the part #. I was happily mowing when I noticed that the engine sounded different. I looked @ the muffler and noticed two screws were missing (see attached photo). Does anybody know the part #? I looked @ cubcadet.com and could not find the reference. Also, This tractor...

I bought a brand new CC LT1045. Going from a old Bolens 42" it feels like heaven. BUT, I'd like to be able to mow in reverse without going through the juvenile "apply break, turn key, push blah blah blah" process every time. Question: is there a way to disable the reverse/safety feature...

My 60 hours old 2004 LT1045 constantly throws the deck belt. I've tried several "tricks" to stop this but nothing works. It will throw it before I start mowing. There's no pulley play, debris in the way, loose idler spiring (yeah I've spent some time laying on the ground checking it out). The...

Hello, I should have checked with the experts on this site long ago. I am here looking for advice on the CC LT1045 transmission. I bought the 1045 from Lowes back in the summer of 2005 and have not had any issues with it up to the end of the cutting season last fall. I have about 60 hours...

I just purchased this tractor to cut about 1 acre. I have read on here some pretty negative comments regarding the 1000 series cub cadet. My question is about the transmission slipping problem. Mine doesn't do it, but if this is going to happen, when can it be expected? i have 4 hours on my...

I have been searching on the net....but does anyone have the gator part numbers to replace the blades on this LT deck? I'm finding that the stock blades don't mulch all that great. Thanks!

Got my first NEW rider last Tuesday. After some research and some heavy motivation from my wife, if you can believe it, we finally made the purchase. LT1045 with the bagger. I've spent years finding and fixing and modifying other people's junk so I can work my yard, I've had enough! If it ever...

Just used my Cub Cadet for the 1st time Yesterday, it seems really slow too me, was wondering if you can adjust something to make it faster? Thanks

Just joined the Cub family, having purchased the 1045 two weeks ago. Home Depot had it on sale. Did much research and decided the Cub was the best for the money. However, the transmission has a howl in it, not very loud, but gets louder with a load, such as trying to drive onto my patio which...

I got my LT1045 delivered on 4/3/06 from HD and I used it the first time on Saturday (4/15/06). I had used the tractor for 1 hour and I had to disengage the PTO so I could move something out of the lawn. When I engaged the PTO again, the belt that turns the blades came loose. My husband put...

hi, i have about 3/4 acre to mow, and would like to use the tractor to pull a dump cart , roller, etc. now i know the 1045 is a 20hp single cylinder kohler, while the 1046 is a 23 hp twin. it looks like the price difference is $100. what would be the smarter buy? will the twin greatly...

I have an acre of land and I'm looking at the 1042 vs. 1045. The motors are very similar (one hp difference). The decks however, 42" vs. 46", one having 2 blades and the other having 3. My question is I know the 46" cut will get me finished faster, making the extra $100 price worth it, but...

It's time for a lawn tractor now that I have about an acre to mow, and I've been checking out the various models and brands and have decided on a CC. The two models I am looking at are the LT-1045 and the LT-1050. The price difference is $300 and the only differences I can see are: 1. 1050...

I have a small 1/2 arce lot and would like to buy a tractor. I'm looking into the John Deer L111 or the Cub Cadet LT1045. Which tractor should I buy since I'm undecided between these two. Any recommandations???

We bought our 1045 in April, it's been pretty good and we have 23 hours on it so far. A few questions/concerns though: The oil hasn't been changed yet, is this going to cause serious harm (not that I don't intend to do this soon, but has irrepairable damage already been done?)? Along those...
