2002 7360...proud new owner!!

[coheaincolorado]

Hello everyone,

I've been a long time reader of these forums and recently found a good deal on a 2002 Cub 7360 tractor with only 84 hours. Tractor came with FEL, 60 inch mower, box blade, and post hole digger.

I took delivery about a week ago and am finding every excuse I can to play(work) with it. Not sure how I got by without this baby before.

I am using the tractor to take care of my 40 acres, mostly keeping it mowed and the driveway leveled out. Being in Colorado I do get some snow as well.

I've tried attaching a couple photos but it seems that they are too large?

Congrats on the purchase! You can open the pictures in "paint" if you have it and resize them so they will be allowed to be attached.

Congratulations on a smart purchase. I have a 2000 7360 and love it. I does everything I ask and I ask a lot. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif The only time you'll hate Cub is when you go to buy filters for it.

Welcome to TBN! Congrats on the new tractor and have fun with it.

As for the pics.. you can get a free version of "irfanview" It's a really great program for converting formats and resizing pics. You can get it at any of the popular download sites, their website, or just do a yahoo or google search and it'll pop right up.

Another trick to sending photos if you have Windows XP is to do a right click on the photo then select "Send to Mail Recipient". A small window will open that says "Make my pictures smaller". It compresses the photo a lot. If you don't have XP I don't know what you can do. Congrats on the 7360. It sounds like you got quite a package!

Rozett & coheaincolorado. Who made the 7360? Was it a Mitsubishi engine and drivetrain or someone elses?

 

[gamble77]

Yeah it is a Mitsu. built machine.

 

[rozett]

Mahindra picked up many of the old Mitsubishi, but alas... not the 7360.

Question for anyone that might know....

Being in Colorado I have had to start this 7360 in some fairly cold tems....about 15 degrees being the coldest.

When I turn they key to where I think I should see the glow plug indicator come on, the glow plug light does not light up. I leave it in that position for abotu 5-10 secs anyway and then turn the engine over.

Once the engine begins cranking the glow plug light comes on any the tractor will start after about 4-5 seconds of cranking. A little black smoke comes out at the very first but not anything I would consider unusual with diesels although my experience with them is limited.

Does this sound right? I was under the impression that the lights should come on in the "2nd" position and then go ioff when it is "OK" to crank the engine.

I recently had the same problem. Eventually, it will fail to start. I think what happens is that one or two of the glow plugs go bad and that eventually takes the glow plug controller with it. I just replaced my controller and four glow plugs. All is well now.

You can find the part numbers and cost in this old thread . It takes about 5 minutes to change the controller and about 1/2 hour to change the glow plugs. If you don't already have a set of 3/8" drive metric deep sockets, then go get a set. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Rozett, any problems since we both replaced glow plugs and the controller? I have not had any with starting. My locking differential quit. The roll pin that keeps it all together fell out. Found it it the bottom of the rear with a magnet. Laced it back in place with some stainless wire, still going.

 

[rozett]

No, I have not had any problems. Ziggy starts fine in cold weather, although it is garaged. So far, I have had few mechanical problems of any kind. I have ripped the hydraulic filter or the hose off a couple of times because of stumps. In the spring I will look at a skid plate to protect it.
