Kolher 23 hp PS-SV720-0010 backfires when shut off.

I've searched all around trying to find an answer to this but have come up empty handed so far. I'm hoping someone here will be able to offer some insight. We recently had the transmission drive belt break, and had to remove the PTO in order to install the new belt. I was able to get the PTO...

OK...had a little help reinstalling the electric clutch and it got over tightened. Way over tightened. Like 700 ft. lb. impact wide open over tightened. Needless to say the engine is locked. So the question is, is it salvageable?? Pulled plugs and top cover, it is definitely locked.

I'm planning to upgrade my tractor and sell my 2006 LT1050 It's been maintained and runs well, no mechanical issues. The paint is good, except for the usual deck scratches. Anyone give me a ballpark number as to what I should sell it for?

Transmission drive belt broke. Removed the deck and pulled transmission release to disengage transmission so it could be pushed into the garage. Transaxle is locked. Will not move. Belt may have broken because the transaxle locked up. There is not drain plug that I can see. The manual says it's...

How does one stop the engine crankshaft from turning when removing the PTO clutch?

The pivot on the tensioner has worn and is now "wobbly". I cannot find any hints or clues on line as to how to replace this part or even where to buy it. I've found several deck rebuild kits on line, none include the tensioner pivot point. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks...

I'm sure this same oil drain feature is present on many lawn tractors. I think they call it "turn and pull" or some such. In any case, to drain the oil, you have to open a little snap cap on the thing, then stick the short piece of rubber tubing on, and then turn the thing and pull, which is...

Mowed beautifully last week. Went to mow this week...blades won't engage. Put in new PTO switch, still no engagement. Suggestions?

I have a 2007 Cub Cadet LT 1050. I suspected there was a problem with the charging circuit when it popped the fuse. I un-plugged the wire harness going to the Stator and was able to turn the key on and could crank the starter. When I plug in wire from the Stator charging circuit and try to start...

I'm trying to find a snow plow blade for my little LT1050. However, all the accessories I can find claim to require a 2009 or newer LT1000/1500 series tractor. Unfortunately, I have a 2008 LT1050. Any idea what the difference between mine and the 2009s is? I'd like to know if it's a major change...

The electric PTO clutch on my LT1050 spontaneously drops out (de-energizes). It seems to maybe be vibration related. Our ground is rough and the deck belt is a little old and floppy, but neither are really anything extreme. I've checked all electrical connections and they seem to be clean and...

Hi guys, Anyone successfully removed the steering sector on a LT1050? Is it possible to do without pulling out the whole pedal mounting plate? I can't see a good way to get to the sector mounting nuts on the top of the plate. I'm trying to replace the tie rod end bushings and the nut is just...

It turns to the right just fine, no problems. It even turns to the left a little, but mostly it kind of pops or skips to the left without turning much. Any ideas? It did appsar that the ball joint on the left side was worn so I replaced it . It may have helped a little but the problem is still...

I just purchased a Cub Cadet LT1050 with a locked up pto bearing. I replaced the pto clutch but I cant get it to work. I'm getting power to the pto switch but I cant find any power coming out of the other 8 or so wires. The seat safety switch looks to be visibly intact. Where do I need to start...

Two days ago while fertilizing my lawn my Cub LT1050 stopped moving. With the help of this forum and other Internet sites I found out my drive belt had slipped off the pulleys. I then started my two day adventure of replacing the drive belt since the old one was pretty worn. I discovered much...

Hi, My Cub Cadet LT1050 broke the transmission drive belt broke. Upon replacement, the gas pedal works in reverse. When you press the forward pedal, it goes in reverse (at full speed), and when you press the reverse pedal it goes forward (at half speed). I have double and triple checked the...

I have a LT1050 that will not start. It turns over fine. I have verified that it is getting fire from both plugs so that eliminates ignition. It seems like it is not getting fuel. I replaced the fuel filter and the fuel pump and still nothing. There is gas in the tank! It seems like it's...

Does anyone know what filter I can get to swap out at the parts store for this engine. the Cub Cadet filter on it is KH2505025. I could not find a cross reference at Fram. Any help would be appreciated

Yesterday while blowing snow the electric pto would disengage. If I turned the switch off and back on it would work again. Then I noticed spots of fluid on the drive way. I put it back in the garage and this morning checked to see if there was fluid on the garage floor. There was none. I check...

Up here in North East Missouri, grass cutting season is over. So with the help of a buddy we: Filled the tank with fresh gas and put in Stay-bil and a shot of Heet. Ran the engine for five minutes to run the additives into the engine and warm up the oil. Changed the oil and filter, clean the...

I have a LT1050 that is starting to shut the PTO off when I push the pedal to go forward. If I push the PTO knob back in after the shutdown and pull it back out to start, it will fire the PTO back up and sometimes it will keep going and other times it won't after pushing the pedal forward. Any...

For some reason the Home Depot near my house does not carry oil filters, and I need a replacement. Can anyone recommend the best part/place to get it?

Having problem with wiring going from firewall to rear of unit melting causing not to start. Have replaced all wires before, now melted again and won't start. Starter seems to drag before this happens and/or engine acts like it is hydraulically locking up.

I have an LT1050 Cub Cadet riding mower that won't start. It has been sitting in the garage for about 5 months. We have had the battery checked and it is good. The solenoid, starter and ignition coil are good. We replaced the spark plugs. It still won't start. It cranks, and the motor...

Just got a Lt 1050 with three bin bagger and large cart for $1,ooo!:thumbsup:

Guys - i have two issues with my LT1050. First it needs a flywheel key, but currently I cannot get it to the shop because the hydro transmission is stuck. I have pulled the release lever, but transmission will not release. Is there another relief, release, etc. that I can work with so I push...

Another question for you guys as winter quickly approaches here in Wisconsin. I have my 42 inch MTD blower attachment, again can be used on my new Cub Cadet..but one problem I had with my old MTD Yardman was that my driveway gets steep in a couple areas, and without a locking rear end, it...

Hey guys, I have a Cub Cadet LT1050 with a Kohler Courage 25hp engine and 52 inch mower deck. I took my double bagger off of my old MTD Yardman before I got rid of it, and it fits on the back of my new cub, BUT..the chute that connects to the mower deck is too small. as my deck on the MTD was a...

I have a Cub lt1050 purchaced in 2005 with a 50" deck. Today I removed my blades to sharpen them. After reinstalling them the engine would stall when I engaged the PTO. After a little troubleshooting I discovered the belt was off the right side blade pulley. I reinstalled it but everytime I...

I have a 2005 LT1050, blades are 17.875 long, .750 round hole. I contacted Gator and gave them 742-04068 blade number and they say they don't have a replacement for that blade. Has anyone found Gator or comparable blades for this machine?

I have just changed the oil per the manual; however, the mower will not start and the CHG OIL lidht is still blinking. Any help woul dbe appreciated!!!

I have a 2006 Cub Cadet LT1050 (20-25 hp engine and 50" cut), it gets used for mowing everything from the lawn to the field out back, I would like to get a heavier mower, but that is not happening any time soon. so in the meantime, is there anyone who makes a replacement blade for this mower (17...

Well last night I swapped on my new gator blades on my 2008 Cub LT1050's deck. Just jacked the mower up with my ATV jack and did it from underneath, piece of cake with the breaker bar even for my just 2 weeks out of hernia surgery self! Observations: These gator blades are a good bit...

I'm having excessive clogging with my LT1050's 50" deck equiped with the "3 in 1" blades. Is there a blade out there that deals with weedy grass a bit better and at taller heights? I refuse to cut a yard at the cruise control speed I'd fall asleep doing it lol. At the same time i'm not...

Well yesterday I got to use my LT1050 for the first time! Let me tell you the last time I was on a tractor it was my father's when I was cutting his yard when I was younger and it was a 12hp Dynamark with 42" deck. This was around the 1994-1998 range. That tractor was $1200 new. In any event...

Well I broke down yesterday and purchased a bran new LT1050 from Tractor Supply Co. They matched Home Depot's 10% off coupon and had the newer models with the 25hp Koehler vs. the older ones with the 23hp Koehler. Also one thing to note is the seats of the older models don't have the arm rests...

I have had my LT1050 for 2 years now and am quite happy with it overall. This summer I needed to have a relay replaced in the wiring harness because the Reverse Push Button, which allows PTO mowing in reverse, stopped working (it went from intermittent to non-functional within 3 weeks' time)...

I have a 2 year old LT1050 and the other day I went to cut the grass only to have the pto disengage each time I tried to go forward. I tried it in the Reverse bypass mode and all was fine. I pulled the deck and cleabed it all out. I checked the belt and it was fine. The blades spin freely and I...

3rd year on mower and wheels have lots of play! Quick fix if you have access to a lathe or drillpress. Open up hole to 5/8 I.D. and slide in a pc. of polyethelene tubing( which can be found in most hardware stores.) This fix will save you $50.00 in replacement parts.

Will this size tractor support 54" deck? I have the 26 Hp. Motor on it!I mow a very flat section of lawn for a REMOTE CONTROL FLYING FIELD! She's been doing good I'm just trying to cut down on mowing time!4" IS 4"! THANKS FOR ANY INPUT!

Hello, I've had a Cub Cadet LT1050 for almost 2 years. Today I was mowing uphill and when I was near the top of the hill I heard the hydrostat whine a bit louder than normal and a couple of clicks - then I was out of business - unable to go forward or reverse. I briefly looked for a broken...

Hello, I've had a Cub Cadet LT1050 (26hp) for almost 2 years and so far no problems. If I had to start over again, I'd probably look at a 2000 series (or an old 1450 like my dad had when I was a kid) but I really can't complain about the LT1050. A few spots in my yard are a bit steeper than I...

Bought a new Cub from HD with a 50" deck and a 23hp Kohler Courage engine. Only have used it once so far. I hate the rear mow route of turn the key, push the pto back in, then go in reverse to mow. I have to admit that had I actually mowed with one prior I might have opted for the entry level...

I purchased a CC LT1050 last week. The mower was 1 yr. old with 40 hours. The mower was real slow when moving. I thought it may be the idler pulley spring. So, I removed the deck to check. The belt was tight. I began actuating the hydro pedal and noticed the problem. There was too much play in...

hey everyone. i have back read all the threads i can find to try and find gator blades for my lt1050. the part # on the blades are 742-04068a. they have the round hole. i have looked everywhere i can. any ideals? after hearing all the rave reviews, i want to try them. thanks for the help.

I got my new LT1050 and it powered throught 18" tall grass like a champ ... but I took it real slow. Then after I was finnished I took it for a spin around the yard at full throttle and I was amazed that it would not move faster than 8 or 9 MPH. :eek: In reverse this beast screams it is soooo...

Where is the best place to get a bagger for the lt1050? What price should I be paying? Thanks

I am at work now so I don't have access to my mower. I was hoping to swing by Home Depot on the way home and pick up an oil filter. Is there a specific part number that I should look for (it's 1 year old)? I'm hoping that HD even carries them....

Sun \"Canopy\" for LT1050 Hi all. As you can tell, I am new to this forum but it looks like a great place. I have a somewhat hilly 5 acre lot in Western Washington state. I live in Tulalip (some people call it Marysville but that's another story). While driving home the other day I noticed...

The constant stop and go mowing has pushed me past my tolerance level. I am not sure if it is related to being a hydrostatic transmission, the grade of my yard, or what, but this is my third lawn tractor (first hydro) and I have never experienced anything like this. Although it mows great, I...

During operation downhill, the mower tends to coast. I have to release the pedal and depress again to get the mower moving forward once it coasts to a stop or near stop. It seems that the transmission doesn't engage when the mower slows back down to the speed relative to how far the pedal is...

LT1050 with 50\" deck I just purchased this small tractor with a bagger unit. The unit contains -2- new blades. I understand the new blades are to increase the lift under the deck for the bagger. My question is - the instructions show 3 blades. I have -2- blades. I called the store I purchased...

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...

Which garden tractor would you buy? They are both the same amount of money and I don't really want to spend much more than that. The cub seems to have a lot more stuff than the deere. The motor is much bigger and the deck is also bigger on the cub. But I've heard some bad things about the...

All, I think I'm pretty set that this is the mower that I want to get, so I just wanted to run down my thoughts and comparisons that brought me here in case they might help someone else who's looking. Here we go: The 1046 and 1050 are the same tractor with a few differences, outlined below...
