I have a 5234d and need a loader. I have the front hitch for a blade and snowthrower. The cub 812 loader can't be used with the front hitch attached due to the loader stand retracting into that area. I see the yanmar cl 100 loader uses a different stand that would not interfere with the front...

I just acquired a 5234d and have a question about the driveshaft from the engine to hydro transmission. This model has the newer driveshaft which fits over a splined shaft on the engine and bolts to the hydro. What I noticed was that the shaft has considerable "wobble" to the point of causing...

I need to order some parts for a 5234d that has no readable serial numbers anywhere. The parts I need are gears for the transmission. When I do a parts lookup it asks if the tractor is 1B065G and before or 1B075G and after. I did a part lookup under both categories and the part numbers are...

The 317 doesn't seem to have any replaceable bearings or bushings in the front axle for the steering spindles. When there is play, how can you tell whether its the spindles or the axle that needs replacing?

Looking for a source for a hydraulic blade angling kit for 5252 or even suggestions on how to build one. Can't figure why Cub would build a front hitch with no angling capabliltiy.

My PTO started acting up today. Seems like after using the PTO (belly mower) for a while and cutting it off it won't turn back on right away. Almost like it has to cool down or something. Usually only takes a minute or so before it will turn back on but I would like to fix it. Any ideas what...

Found a good ebay deal on Kohler mufflers that fit my 2004 5252 perfectly. Hope its ok to post this here. Listed as: "Kohler Engine Muffler fits Command 18-27hp twin" Kohler Engine Muffler fits Command 18-27hp twin - eBay (item 390170491641 end time Mar-25-10 19:58:45 PDT)

I removed the left rear axle on my subcompact and found it sheared clean just where the splines begin. I need to know if there is any way to remove the splined end left in the tractor. It would save hours of transmission removal and tear down if I could somehow extract the splined end via the...

I have a 2004 5252 2 wheel drive with about 650 hours. Never a problem until I lost drive in the left wheel while pushing snow. The tractor freewheels unless the diff lock is engaged. When the diff lock is engaged everything works fine except that it is only driving the right wheel. PTO and...

I am going to do a Hydro Oil change in my 5000 series tractor. I am going to replace the Cub Oil with Mobil1. My question is how do I handle the front end loader? Whatever cub oil is in those cylinders will mix with the new oil.

I have a cub cadet 5000 with a 3pt hitch and front loader. I noticed that when I first start the tractor the power steering was difficult to turn. This improved the longer the tractor was running. Now my loader and 3pt hitch are stuttering or vibrating when I lift them. All filters and...

I am thinking about using a replacement fluid in my tractor. I would prefer to completely drain the existing fluid. I know I can drain the HST but what about the FEL and the fluid that remains in those lines? Is there any way to cycle all the fluid out of the system?

My 5252 is starting to have a strange hydraulic problem. Over that past year I have noticed that when I first start the tractor, the power steering was stiff and making a noise whenever I turned the wheel. Similar to the noise a power steering pump makes in a car when its turned all the way to...
