But the weirdest thing of all is after 4-5 hours of snow removal yesterday, just to be cautious, I shut it off and let it cool down for a couple hours then checked the oil. Even after replacing the leaking head gasket, I've somehow still went through about 3/4 of a quart of oil! There's no way I'm burning that much oil, heck I don't THINK I'm really burning any oil to speak of but I've been wrong before. Anyway, where is this oil going?!!? If I park the tractor and let it run after it's good and warmed up it's not like there's suddenly a huge puddle under it. I parked it out front of work a couple time yesterday and let it run while I went in and warmed up and I don't recall seeing any oil spots on the ground. This has got me really puzzled. I want to replace the oil lines with new ones, I'm thinking I'll just go to Napa and have them make some up for me, but after that, where do I look? Any suggestions are welcome, I'm about at whits end.

As far as the oil lines go, I don't think you will be able to get Napa to make hoses that will work. They run through the shroud and down the side. A hydraulic hose will be too big to make the bends through the shroud and down the side, plus, I doubt you would be able to get the side panels back on. Need to make your own from copper or steel. (I'd suggest steel like in Oaks picture.) Just for the purpose of info, they are still available. $70 a piece.
You have a hole in your air filter housing. You need to weld it shut IMMEDIATELY, or at least plug it with silicone. If snow gets up on top of that, it will suck it in. While were on the subject, how clean is the air filter? And have you looked at how much oil is in the housing? The crankcase vent goes back up into there. A plugged filter can make it "suck" more oil up out of the vent. Or a problem with the vent will "puke" more oil than it is supposed to. Could be part of the oil consumption..... maybe. It is definitely burning oil. You can see that from the spark plugs. It may not all be being burned, you may have a leak too. 3/4 of a quart in 5-6 hrs seems like a lot to burn, but I've seen those engines burn that much before and not smoke. Think your best bet is to get it through this season and plan on pulling the motor out of the tractor, pulling the flywheel and jugs. Check the rear for a leak, and see if it has broken rings. If so, you may be able to hone it and re-ring it. The jug you posted a pic of doesn't appear to be scratched, so you may not have to bore it. I'd say the PO ran it long enough with a blown head gasket it the rings lost seal. May have a broken ring too. |

And as far as getting it through the season, the current game plan is this Saturday, come hell or high water, install a new air filter, remove those oil lines, remove the engine shrouds, remove the other head, plane it and replace the gasket then put it all back together. I hope this solves the oil loss problem.

Disclaimer: All the info I give is based off pictures, given info, and audio from a video. This is the best diagnosis I can give by not being there. It is incredibly hard to listen to a motor run with a distorted audio from a cell phone. And no picture is as good as holding a part in my hand and looking at it through my glasses. (Yeah, I'm getting older, so what. ) |

As far as bending line, there are two easy ways.
One of these..... (It's a tubing bender. Auto parts store, or hardware store may have them. Obviously, Snap-On has them too. ) IMG_20140206_122611.jpg And the other way is to get a piece of pipe (or other round object) clamp it in a vice and bend the tubing around it. I do that when the bend is sharp, or over 90°. |

Yes. That is normal. If you put your finger over it, you should feel the pressure disappear. (It should go out the crankcase vent. If, while idling you can hold your finger over it for a few seconds, pull your finger off, and feel it blow air out hard then quit (like letting air out of a tank, or balloon) then the vent is plugged. When you take your finger off it shouldn't have a big sudden blow of air. Actually, if everything is working right, it should almost "suck" your finger down onto it.
Same is true the other way. Your finger shouldn't get "stuck" to the opening (as in a vacuum situation). If it does, there is a crankcase venting problem. On these engines, about the only way that can happen is if the air filter is plugged. Or there is a 1 in about a million chance the jug is cracked. (That is unheard of.) |

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.
