Yes, when all that is holding the plug together is the boot on the spark plug wire it's probably time for a new one!
It always kind of amazes me how people try to stretch the life of spark plugs. If you can't put a few bucks into making your engine run well you better not complain about skips or hard starts.

Today I removed the CV joint for the steering on the 2284 to clean out the original grease and repack it with fresh grease. This is a fairly simple job anytime the engine is out of the tractor. Remove the battery tray, steering wheel, boot over the steering column, the snap ring that keeps the bronze bushing from sliding down the column and the bolt through the bottom of the CV joint. The CV joint should now slide up off of the steering valve or steering box. The joint has 4 allen head blots holding it together, remove these and the joint will come apart. Clean the old grease out, repack and reassemble in the reverse order. Also fixed the plug to the ignition switch while I was in the area. The battery tray will get the rust cleaned off and some new paint. Also replaced the crossover fuel line at the top rear of the fuel tank. The ignition switch is pretty nasty so I’m going to replace that also while it’s easy to get at.

The 1882/2282 & 2284 will be for sale as soon as I'm finished with them. I doubt that I'd be able to recoup the cost of front hydraulics. As it is not many people will be willing to pay what I will have into these two tractors even though it won't be that much more that what TSC gets for a Cub lawn mower. The only one of the 3 that I'm going to keep is the 2182 and that's only because I think it's cool with the Kubota gas engine. Even at that it will get almost no use. I mow about 6 acres and this is what I use, I call it the grassanator. The hitch has been improved since that pic was taken. Kills grass fast.

The 2284 got it's new engine installed today. Took it for a little test spin. Sitting on the gas tank is not the most comfortable thing in the world. LOL Now I'm waiting for the sheetmetal to get painted and a new muffler. Should have it pretty well done by the end of next week. The muffler that's on it at the moment won't clear the hood. Just put it on for testing. Time for a cold one.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
