Default My oops for the day

I checked the oil before mowing and apparently didn't make sure the dipstick was snapped in the whole way, it was only a half quart low and I caught it pretty fast so I doubt it did any damage.

Reminds me of when my 660 blew the oil pressure gauge sending line while plowing last month, but much worse, that'll make a mess, it'll keep the rust off and lube it.

The only damage I see is to your pride, Tim. But we have all made mistakes like that before, so you are in good company. Dawn soap will make short work of that mess or you could leave it that way for a Halloween cub....kinda has that creepy look to the side of it.

Been there done that. First was with Dad's 127. Seems like I had oil splattering with my 2072 once too.

I'll tell one on myself:

Had a 1466 International in the shop once. Was doing quite a bit of work to it. Needed to start it to do something (I don't recall what). One of the guys said we couldn't start it because it didn't have coolant in it.... I was like, pppppbbbtttt..... it's only going to run for a few min, it'll be fine. They, and I, forgot we had the oil cooler off. Do you know how much oil an oil pump in a DT414 will pump when it runs for about 4 seconds? A LOT!! All over the place. Shoots it out pretty far too. It was a mess.

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.
