cub cadet 2042

Has anyone modified the original oil drain fitting on the cub cadet 2042 I realize there is limited space, but the original design is a joke. I am considering replacing the fitting with either a plain old oil drain plug or trying to retro fit a fitting with an elbow and drain plug. Any...

I've had this mower for a little over 2 years...I find myself using my Massey Fergurson tractor more....the major problem is the beer holder is on the same side as the discharge chute...I get grass clippings/dust in my beer....on the Massey it's on the opposite side! Don't these CC engineers...

Hi guys. I have an '05 2042 and I'm real happy with the machine. I do have a few issues tho'. Can anyone help? First is, the wife was mowing the other day (I know, that's half of the issue right there ) and the PTO belt came off. Has anyone else had issues with theirs? The other is the drive...

I have an 05 CC2042 and it has performed perfectly all season. This past Saturday, I was in the process of moving equipment around in my shed in preparation for winter up here in New Hampshire. I started the tractor and when I went to back up, it was very sluggish and after about 15 feet of...

I thought I saw a post on here with a similar problem but could not find it. Anyone else have a problem where one of the front tires looks like it wobbles while riding?

I just purchased a 2042 mower. Even though it has more horsepower than my old mower, it seems to be running very low rpms. Can anyone tell me how to turn up the rpms on this new mower. I know its not recommended but my old one was turned up and did well. Any info appreciated.

Can anyone tell me how to turn up the rpm on my new mower? It don't have as much power as my old 2165 had. But 2165 had been turned up.
