Thanks for the tip. My front turf tires "crown" up a little in the center but not to bad. The 41" Soft Trac rear tires dome up quite a bit, but not chains there for the moment. As much as I don't want to see the snow I'm looking forward to see how much difference they will make plowing my...

Well folks I think I have a pair of chains I'm going to try. This was a pair I got from a friends widow after he passed away. I just remembered them :unsure: and I've only used them to pick up and move rocks, the chains act kind of like a net. Anyway they seem to be a good fit even though...

Thanks, I'll check them out!

I'm read most of the posts about chains but I didn't see any that talked about putting them on Goodyear Soft Trac tires. I'm considering putting them on my Cub Cadet 7234, 23 HP diesel with 27" x 10.5" x 15" tires on the front. Has anyone had any experience putting chains on turf tires? Is...

Kiowamtp, I have a 7234 model that I bought new in 1996. I called Cub Cadet once and I was told mine was a late 1996 or early 1997 production run. As I remember, for 2-3 years, maybe more, the tractor looked the same. The major difference between the 727 and 723 models was the 27 HP motor in...

Well folks it’s fixed but I think it was a couple of factors causing it. I got to thinking that the lever that controlled the 3 Point Hitch had been somewhat hard to push and pull for awhile now. When I looked at the linkage for it the other night, I thought I probably should look to see if I...

I hope the weather is better today to take the tractor out of the garage to look closer at this. I don’t think it is a free fall issue because it seems to lower fine, just not where it always has dropped to. At this Point the lower arms are disconnected and laying on the floor. The upper...

LD1, I stood on the lower arms but they stop at probably a foot or so from the floor/ground. I know at times you need an implement or some weight to help it move down but they have always dropped easily to within 4” or 5”. I plan to go down later and see if there is something obvious. We...

Thanks Duffer for the reply. Yes, I have the same knob, same location, called the “Hydraulic Flow Control Knob” on the Cub. I cycled that a few times twisting it fully open and fully closed and then tried raising and lowering the hitch but it didn’t help. The arms lower to about the parallel...

Before you Mahindra owners yell at me for posting in your Forum, please note that my old Cub Cadet has a Mitsubishi Engine and drivetrain, very similar to some of your older compact series had and the current Max models. I have used the local Mahindra dealer for filters and parts in the past. I...

I had a problem earlier this year but I didn't get any replies. I hope someone can help me with this. I have one of the older Cub Cadet 7234 models with just under 700 hours, I bought new back in 1996 or so. It has the Mitsubishi 23 HP engine and drivetrain. I've used it this summer but...

Well I dove into the X300 yesterday to see how far I could get. My goal was to get the tank out, drain it real good, check the fuel pickup tube, etc. The tank comes out of the X300 fairly easy. Remove the seat, two bolts on the back of the rear fender deck and two bolts in the front under the...

So if I disconnect the fuel line before the filter can I safely blow air back into the tank without doing any damage? I was going to try this but I was afraid there might be an orifice or something else that might be damaged.

Tom, I did pull the fuel line to the carb, put on a piece of hose and cranked it into a container. It pumped fuel but it wasn’t much of a flow, definitely wasn’t a fire hose gushing.

Does the gas filter on your X300 stay full of gas or does just a small amount stay in it? I may pull the carb bowl off but it seems odd it will run fine for 30 minutes or longer sometimes and then it starts chugging and running rough. Interesting about your comments on Stabil. I’ve used it...

I always use Stabil in my gas so I don't think that could be it. I'm not sure how I would check the flow from the tank unless just as a gravity flow? I thought about an obstruction in the tank but wondered what it could be. I looked at taking the tank out completely but it wasn't real clear...

I have a 2009 X300 Rider and after cutting the grass for 20-30 minutes it starts surging real bad and finally will quit. Sometimes if I push up and hold the choke lever it will continue to run but only for a short while. The x300 with a Kawasaki motor only has 90+ hours on it. When this...

I have a 7234 (gear drive, 23HP) model that I have had since new and just noticed the Differential Lock Pedal is staying engaged. This is the pedal by your right foot, just below the seat that you push down on to lock the rear wheels. It is supposed to be spring loaded up/disengaged but I...

Several years ago the early Cub Diesels 7234 and 7235 had some problems with bolts that either bolted the engine and transmission together or at the loader mounts, I can't remember which. Does anyone have a picture of the bolt locations and the torque for the bolts? I haven't checked the...

Hi all, it has been awhile since I was on the forum. Back in the early to mid-90's (my tractor is an 1996), some of the bolts that connected the engine to the transmission area would loosen up and there was even some cracking of castings. It had to do with using the FEL if I remember right. I...

I have been unable for about a week now from my home computer, (Dell desktop w/Vista OS), to view topics and I couldn't seem to send an email within the forum. I log in normally and then select a major topic, Mahindra Tractors. When the list of Mahindra topics comes up, Cost of filters...

Looks like a couple of good deals on ebay other than possibly the travel.

My Cub Cadet, (Mitsubishi 23HP) diesel seems to me it smokes more than I remember it doing. It has about 260 hours on the engine and although I have always put road use diesel in it I discovered a place that sells off road diesel so since the spring of this year I have used it. Now that it is...

Does anyone know when the new Yanmar-Cubs will be out? What sizes, pictures, etc.? How about CubTech, do you or any of our dealers know? Thanks.

Does anyone happen to know the paint code for the CC Yellow used on the 7000 Mitsubishi series (7234 to be exact) 8 or 9 years ago? I want to repaint my BH loader and thought it would be cheaper to get some mixed at say NAPA or another auto paint store. Thanks in advance

I just noticed there is a Mahindra 2815, 3215 HST, 3215 4WD, Tractor Service Manual Item number: 330104789511 on ebay should you need one. The price looks reasonable.

Question on hitch pins on implements. Is there a reason that I can’t reverse two lower pins so that they point inward instead of pointing out? I recently picked up a Patu chipper and where the bottom pins are mounted I have to spread my 3 pt hitch arms so they almost rub the tire to hook them...

After many years of looking I purchased a used Patu chipper yesterday. It supposedly hasn't had a lot of use but has been sitting outside so the red paint is somewhat faded. The old owner couldn't find a manual for the chipper so does anyone know where I could get one? It is relatively...

Filters are always an issue for compacts. There are some on eBay, search on Mahindra. It doesn't say what models they fit though.

We've all complained about the price of filters, this is about the air filter on my 7234 and I think the same one was on the 727X series as well. I called the closest dealer the other day and he gracefully quoted me a price of $88.00 for the filter. I didn't call any others, there aren't many...

I had toyed with putting a Block Heater in my Cub, (23HP, 4WD, Mitsubishi) for a while and finally found a dealer that new what they were, and had one sent to me by Cub. It turned out to be a bit of a pain to get the old freeze plug out because of the tight space to work. I did take the loader...

I noticed that a small shoulder bolt was missing from my ROPS on my 7234. It is about 3/4" long, metric 10 MM/1.25 thread. #36 on page 104 of the parts manual, PN #MA-1904390700. This ROPS is on many of the Cubs so I suspect it is the same on all the models using this ROPS. A call to one...

I've got a Honda Generator with a 8 HP Honda motor on it. I haven't had to change the oil until its use this weekend for about 27 hours. I put Castrol in it previously. Is their better oil to use in a small gasoline engine? Is synthetic any better? Generators seem to use a little oil so if...

I'm getting ready to do the 200 hour service on my 7234 Cub. What type/brand of Hydraulic Transmission fluid do any of you recommend? There is a brand available locally, "Cling Tuff" that I've used before that is very reasonable, $18 for a 5 gal pail. HyTran by Case is about $37-38 a bucket...

Has anyone installed an engine heater in their Cub? If so how difficult was it, cost etc. Thanks.

NAPA Oil Filters Silver vs. Gold, Is there any difference? I couldn’t stand it anymore so I asked the local NAPA dealer what the differences between the two different filters and I got a “chuckle and I’m not sure, the Gold must be better”. So I emailed NAPA on line and got the following...

Wow, what a find I think. I have a Cub Cadet 7234 w/Mitsubishi drivetrain and am getting ready to do the 200 hour check, filters, oil, hydraulic, etc. I thought I would read the Mitsubishi discussion on tractorpoint.com/site to see if there was anything about crossing the Mit. filters to...

A couple of months back I sent out a query about buying a Landscape Rake and got lots of replys, even one about "First Choice" implements. I was a little skeptical at first because I hadn't seen much about FC even after getting an email from Pieter and another from JimMc. I'm located in So...

I’m in the process of buying a landscape rake and can’t believe the difference in prices. I rented a 6’ Woods with a blade on it and determined with the number of trees I have that a 5’ rake will make a lot more sense maneuvering around trees. I’ve looked at both 5 and 6’ because not all...
