Not sure why they decided to have the lights on at all times when the tractor is running??? Seems like they would have had an extra key position or a light switch so they can be toggled.
I disconnected the lights at the plug under the hood, figured if I needed them I could just plug em back in... save on the bulbs.
Just dont really think I need the lights while mowing in the middle of the day : /

Thought about installing a switch somewhere in the line.

My last tractor had lights... with a switch lol and to tell ya the truth I did not use the lights once in the 11 years of use.
This tractor if I set it up for snow blowing I will be using the lights but for now I think I will just leave em unplugged.

Congrats on your new Cubs guys! Man don't they look good! I still get warm and fuzzy over mine and it has been almost 6 years now.
I have never tried the mulch plug with the Cub. The Craftsman I had previous to getting my 2518 had one and I wasn't impressed with it.
I like to mow my grass shorter so all it did was plug up.

I hope you like your Cubs as much as I like mine!

I have a key position on mine for the lights. I guess they must want them on all the time for safety reasons.

1*I don't as I prefer the nice green look over the browned dried out dead appearance.
2*I like mine but I don't need it or want it.

3*Naw; they just don't want to spend the money for the switches and the labor to wire and install them.

It's all a matter of preference. Besides I don't scalp it. I mow it on the #3 setting. I get many compliments on my lawn!

Just out of curiosity L Brown. Why did you buy a Cub if you didn't want or need it?

lol, expensive oops...

Sure was :
I should have gotten the BX1500 That I really wanted in the first place.
Turns our I paid for 2 tractors when I could have only paid for one tractor to get whan I wanted.

I think the best thing to do is if you look at the center of the hood there is a plastic cover peice, if you remove that there is a grill underneath it. i removed it looks alittle nicer and keeps it cooler under the hood.

Looks Great, Love mine Too. It runs in the summer, I just lift my hood when done mowing it stops he grass from turning yellow from the heat. Have Fun!!!
