I noticed a strong fuel smell coming from my 4 year old Cub 1046. Looked underneath and saw a slow leak where the rubber fuel line meets the tank.
Thought (hoped) it was the fuel line, so I snipped off about 2 inches from the end, reconnected, and still had a slow leak.

3. Is a...

2. When should I change the oil filter. Every time I...
My new 1046 is running great, but not cutting as nice as I expected. I commonly get streaks or stips of uncut or uneven grass.
I tried following the owners manual steps for balancing the blades. It helped a little, but I still have the same problem.

TSC is delivering my new Cub Cadet 1046 on Friday.
1. Are there any steps that I need to take before using it the first time? Do I need to add anything, remove any packaging type things?

Thanks to some assistance from this discussion group, I purchased a Cub Cadet 1046 today from TSC. I was even able to use a 10% coupon from Lowes. After trying two local TSC's, the second one honored it.

I have narrowed my search for a riding mower down to the following two Cubs at Lowes:
1042: 19hp 42" deck - 2 blades - $1599
1045: 20hp 46" deck - 3 blades - $1699
Other than the 1 extra hp and bigger deck, these two models look identical.
1. I don't mind paying the extra $100 bucks, but...
