I recently had to replace the battery in my '06 2554. It made it 5 years and 186 hours which I think is probably typical of L&G equipment that sits a few months every winter. Just curious as to what others have seen for battery life on their Cubs.

This is the 4th spring for my 2554 and like every other year the fuel pump lost prime after sitting 4 months over the winter. Once again I had to prime the engine to get it to run and start pulling fuel from the tank. It's not a big deal really, I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen this...

Here are a couple of photos I took yesterday at Historic Farm Days in Penfield. The rest are here - Historic Farm Days 2008 Enjoy!

I made the last payment on my 2554 this morning. I got it two years ago with Cub zero percent financing but now it's finally mine instead of being partially owned by GE Credit. I'm expecting I'll like it even more the next time I use it. ;) All mine and still a year of warranty left. I hope...

I have a 5' Howse 500C 3 Pt mower that I got with my tractor. I did some repairs to it and I'm about ready to use it for the first time. But I realized, I have no idea how to set it up. Not that it matters, but here's the mower - Economy Cutter : Howse Implement Company, Your source for...

I know this is a common problem so I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas - When I got my 404 it had usual hydraulic problems that seem to go along with older equipment. Milky looking fluid in the hydraulic system, obviously from water contamination. And the lift worked slowly, the pump was...

I looked at an IH 404 today and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me anything about that model along with what it might be worth. It's a '62 showing 2900 hours but the meter "stopped a while back." Gas engine was gone through 2 wears ago at the local Case/IH dealer, $2000+ worth of work, and I...

Ok, I started a new thread on this subject since I'm going to try a few things to get the underhood temps down on my 2554. This might be of interest to anyone who needs to mow when it's really hot like I do and would like to see better engine life and fewer hood problems. I'll take some pics and...

Does anyone have any experience with a model 284 IH? I did a search and came up with nothing. I'm sort of looking for a small tractor to bush hog and possibly add a loader. I've seen a couple of these on the net and the size and capability looks about right for my expected use. There also seem...

My 2554 has 50 hours use most all of it mowing. I have the deck off to do routine maintenance and figured I'd sharpen the blades. But looking at them, they look pretty much like new. There are a couple of small "dings" in one or two of them but without taking a lot off of the blade they'll...

Why in the world did Cub use these crappy press in grease zerks on such a nice machine? When I had my deck off at 10 hours to grease and check everything out I had one that wouldn't take grease and another that pulled out. The dealer fixed them when it was back for the steering recall. Had the...

I'm just curious what kind of fuel consumpion others are seeing with their 2500 series tractors? My '06 2554 will run the 2 1/2 gallon tank dry in just under 2 hours using it for heavy mowing. Is that about what others are seeing? It's the first Kohler engine I've owned and it certainly seems...

Does anyone have any photos of the 190-827 electric sleeve hitch for the 2554? I've seen the photos of the inexpensive hitch people have gotten from eBay and it looks OK. I'm just curious as to how much different the CC factory hitch isis. The factory hitch is *a lot* more $$. Thanks in advance!

My 2554 has about 10 hours so I decided to do the first service today and add the Kohler oil cooler I purchased for it. I figured while it's raining here I'd get all that done, plus I wanted to check everything before it goes to the dealer tomorrow to have the "steering service advisory" done...

Hi, first post here. Nice forum by the way! I just got my 2554 yesterday and after using it for about 5 hours I can say that overall I'm very happy with it. No question in my mind it's the nicest little tractor you can buy for the $$ I do have a question for anyone knowlegable about the deck...
