cub cadet gt2550

No fire to either plug on gt2550 with 22 hp Koehler command. Engine cranks over fine. No blown fuses. Any ideas before I remove blower housing to check coils?

Good morning all Just wanted to get opinions... I have a 2005 vintage GT2550 that is getting up there in hours >750...not blowing smoke, still works well...but I starting to replace parts that are finally wearing out. I just picked up at a very good price a 2010 vintage GT2542 (plastic...

My Gt2550 runs powerfully, cuts great, but after a half hour or hour, it will not go. Engine runs fine. The transmission will SCREEECCCHHH and then stop. If I push pull push pull the little hydro release lever on the rear, sometimes it will go just fine, sometimes I have to let it cool down...

Hi all Has anyone ever added a fuel shutoff valve to the GT2550 (or similar)? If so what did you use? Thanks Tom

My Cub Cadet GT2550 with Kohler Command engine starts, revs up nicely, runs with power for 100 feet, then engine dies. Just goes pooohhh then stops, at times goes BANG! then stops. Any ideas?? It restarts easily, then does the same thing. Will restart again, then do the same thing. New gas, with...

Hi all My "spare" GT2550 is out of mothballs and will be my prime tractor this summer while I refurbish my other one. Everything is good except the "reverse protection mode" switch setting does not work. I turn the key back and press the button but the light does not go on and the PTO turns of...

Anyone ever see this problem? My GT2550 has been pretty reliable for 250 hrs and 5 years, but the PTO has begun to stay engaged all the time. It's not an electrical issue. If I leave it disengaged the blades will stop in high grass, but any other time they are turning. At least I can mow, but...

Hello, I just purchased my tractor last night and am beginning to give it a full service before Spring hits. I had heard that these units were known for blowing fuses for multiple reasons, and sure enough, I blew one before it was even off of the trailer. I've read the entire owners manual and...

Hi all Got another GT2550 the other day used. The owner says he never changed the trans fluid. Other than that the unit looks to be in great condition. He maintained it well other than this issue. The tractor has 312 hours on it. So, the question is, do I go ahead and change the trans...

Hi all Picked up a "new" GT2550 to match my original. The original now has 400 Hours and the "new" one has 175 hours on it. The gentleman wanted $1500 but I got it for $900 (I think its a deal). It came with Ag Tires and picked up a set of 50lb/wheel weights too. The tractor needs a good...

Hi All Just so I don't munge things up on my tractor...how do I remove the front wheel? Do I simply force off the plastic cap and then remove the bolt? Thanks. Tom

Hi all Just picked up a second low-hour GT2550. This one too has non-operable head lights. I want to replace the poorly designed candle light powered units with something more useful. Has anyone ever done a DIY add-on set of lights for the GT2550? Thanks in advance. Tom

Have GT2550 with 45 hours on it, went to start it, ran rough, now it won't even start. Spins over plenty fast, but no start. Getting plenty of gas, in fact it runs out the muffler. Has full warranty, but Ihate to haul it in the pick-up back to dealer. Any ideas?? thanks.

New to me GT2550, it has sat outside at dealers for a few years, I bought it. Now have 40 hours on it, went to sttart it and ran very rough, like it was missing. Shut it off, and not will not re-start. It IS getting plenty of gas, actually have gas running out th e muffler. Any ideas? I hate to...

2010 GT2500 with 400 hours It will run in forward at normal speed for about 10 minutes then it will begin to get really sluggish to the point of a slow crawl. Reverse works normally.

I have a 2004 GT2550 and over the past few years, my pedals seem to be sticking more and more. The forward pedal seems to stick when I push it down. When I take my foot off the forward pedal, it is really slow to come up. I think there must be some interlock mechanism that keeps the brake...

2007 GT2550 with a Kohler CH670-0011 does not charge. Stator checks out, changed rectifier ( twice )-------no voltage out of rectifier with seperate volt meter. What does the 5 amp fuse protect? Mine blows after a half dozen starts. Anyone know where I can find a wiring diaghram ? Thanks.....

I have a GT2550 tractor that, as of late, been giving me a lot of grief. It's been running great (As far as the engine goes. Would NEVER buy a Cub Cadet again) until recently where the engine will start up just fine, and then stall out. I changed the fuel filter, air filter, oil filter, oil, and...

Hello all. I have a few different lawnmowers for different places and purposes. My newest acquisition is a 2009 Cub Cadet GT2550. I have some issues with it that I am trying to overcome. It's used and I don't really have a review of it just yet. I operate a Deines ztr HT2072 for my families...

Good Afternoon, I have a 2006 GT 2550 with 350 hours on it. I did some regular maintenance yesterday (change oil, clean pre-filter, grease, switch out blades for newly sharpened, washed, etc.) This morning, I went out to mow and the PTO suddenly now comes on, runs for a minute or two and then...

Hello: I have a GT2550 (about five years old). Just recently, the engine surges then almost stalls at lower RPM's. It will also backfire and sometimes actually stall out. If the engine is under load (moving or with the PTO engaged) or at sitting still at higher RPM's it seems fine. I have...

Just got a new 2550, now with 7hrs on it. I changed the engine oil/filter and greased the 10hrs fittings. Just like its said in the manual. But I have 100's of questions...... Dealer said to leave the transmission oil/filter for 100hrs, is this ok? Do you all grease the fittings as per the...

I have a 2004 GT2550 and I purchased the 341 snow thrower for it. I put the snow thrower on the tractor, and I can't get the belt on. It came with 2 belts, and I'm using the one that is the longest. Is the belt suppose to be this tight, and is there a trick to getting the belt on? The part #...

Well, I just brought this tractor home after purchasing it for $2200. I thought it was a good deal as the tractor only has 30 hours on it. It started up fine, but when I tried to engage the blades, they would start to spin for what seemed like a half second, then nothing. I tried everything...

Good Morning, I am in the market for a new tractor and I am considering a CC GT2550. My main use is for mowing but I would like to use it for dragging my sand horse arena ( 2-3X/week 120' X 60') as well and other small farm chores. The arena drag is about 150-200lbs. I have considered a sub...

Hi I have a 2005 GT2550 with a "cyclone cut" deck. The problem that I have is that the middle of the cutting path is much higher than the sides. In other words, after cutting a straight path, there is a "hump" of higher grass left in the middle. I have checked that the blades are set at the...

?or a good pre MTD used series 2 tractor and 50 deck. I love the tractor I think it could pull down my garage if I could hook it up properly. But with 30 hours I致e run out of gas a half doz times or so?ow I won稚 take it anywhere without topping it off. Since I changed the oil at 10hrs it...

Hello All, I have recently re-attached my mowing deck after the winter season and have run into a problem. The arm that is used to add/remove to tension the PTO belt at the mowing deck is now rubbing on the tires when the deck is fully raised. I have my chains on still, but I had them on...

Evening Gents, In an earlier post I mentioned I had added a Drainzit oil drain valve to alleviate the PITA factory oil drain valve. Someone asked for a pic so I thought I would post a couple of pics of my 2005 GT2550 with some minor add-ons. They are; a tube bumper I found at my dealer in his...

I am the proud owner of a new Cub Cadet GT2550. I mowed my hilly 2 acres with it already and I am quite happy with it so far. I was considering a John Deere X320, but felt the GT2550 was much more tractor for less money. And since I have a lot of hills, I was more comfortable the the cast...

Going to the dealer today to look at both of theese machines.I am not sure yet which one I will buy.May just wait until I get some responses from you great folks.I realise that the tractors themselves are virtially indenticle (within a few HP) but my main concern is the deck width.8 extra inches...

Hurray I got my riding mower today and it works fantastic. Took a while to get use to driving being made so much easier though. Besides getting really dirty and dodging as many little cactus plants as I could see, it took on the weeds really good. Hopefully the blades are holding up good. Today...

I see dealers have this model listed at 3,499. I dont know if it comes in other configurations but the one I am talking about is equipped with the 21 Kohler and hydro trans. Anybody getting these for less? A little haggling never hurts, the worst they can say is no.
