My 1650 that I use to push snow is having an electrical issue. Turning the ignition key will not crank the engine. Here's what I've found so far: - Key switch removed and looks good. Checked with continuity meter to see if crank position worked. - Starter solenoid replaced; not the problem. -...

I've got a 1210 with a nasty fluid leak from the trunion shaft seal. I see that there's a snap ring and washer outside the seal. The big question is whether the seal can be replaced without tearing the unit apart. Any thoughts on ways to pull this off? The seal in question is the right side...

I've got a Kohler M12 on a Cub 1210, and have just replaced the piston and rings among other things. I've been trying to set the high end RPM to be below the 3500 RPM recommended. What's the best way to do this? The screw adjustment on the throttle linkage (where the cable ends) doesn't seem to...

My 1610 was in need of a drive belt at the start of this season. I removed the old belt went over to the local industrial supply house to get a replacement. The measured it up and gave me a Gates belt (one of the green ones). After installation, it took about an hour for that belt to stretch to...

My 1610 has developed a transmission problem which first appeared after running about an hour. The machine has a new drive belt, and it does not appear to be slipping. The symptoms are weak forward drive when going up hill. It also appears to surge. If you back down on the hydrostatic level and...

How do you pull the hydro fluid from a CC1610? I removed the cap and reservoir, but it was not obvious how to drop a tube down to pull up the fluid. Any thoughts?

How is the fluid drained from the drive unit? Do the transaxle and hydropump share a common fluid that drains from the plug at the bottom of the assembly?

I'm getting my 1610 ready for another summer of upstate NY grass cutting. Over the last few years I've noticed an increasing amount of noise from the tranny/rear end. No performance issues, but a lot of noise. I took off most of the sheet metal to clean up the machine and found the fins on the...

My Dad picked up a 2130 at an auction recently. The machine looks good but, of course, comes with no documentation. I think the clutch made need adjusting, but the real issue is that it will not shift into 5th or 6th gear. The shift lever feels like it hits a stop at 4th. It won't climb much of...
