    i1046 electical problem ?

    When i turn the key on my i1046 (zero turn lawn tractor) I get nothing on the LED readout, which I believe used to light up as soon as the key was turned. But I can't exactly recall (funny how these things pass you by). The starter will engage, it will not fire. Fuel pump is working fine...

    Noticed lately that when I lower the cutting deck on my i1046 the right wheel brake drags (usually just momentarily). The dedk is supported on the rear, at each side, by a pin which engages the drop-raise arms. With the deck raised, grab-hook end of the pin is above a pull-rod to the right...

    Hi, I have a cub cadet i1046 zero turn riding mower that has had an intermittent brake sticking problem. I release the brake and the left back tire will not turn because the brake is jammed. I put some WD-40 on the brake under the seat and kept working the brake pedal and it finally broke...

    i1046 clutch sticking?

    Hi, Bought a i1046 from the big box store last summer when my Murry died.. Put about 25 hours on it last year and just fired it up after it set all winter. So far so good and I have really become quite fond of the mower except for one minor irritation that showed up yesterday. I'm thinking the...

    Oil & Fuel  i1046/i1050 gas pedal

    Do any of you guys with the i1046/i1050 have a problem holding down the go pedal on these mowers. Mine seems to be stiff. I really have to press hard to keep it down and my leg gets tired holding it down.. and it only takes about 45 min. to mow my yard.

    Blinking thingee on hour meter i1046

    Have an i1046 and a little symbol is blinking on the left side of the hour meter. Looks sorta like two arrows pointed at each other rotated vertical. Couldn't find any reference in the owners manual and was wondering if anyone might know what it is. The mower has about 3 hours on the clock and...

    Cub Cadet i1046

    I wanted to share my bad experience with the i1046. Please keep in mind that I am not a mechanical expert so please forgive my very un-technical descriptions. lol We purchased an i1046 from our local Home Depot to replace my (still running, albeit roughly) 16 year old JD STX38. I thought the...
