well I cranked my 1862 and 1641 today just to make sure one of them would run to plow if we get enough. both been sitting for 2-3 months, so it took a bit to get the fuel up to them, other than that only problem is the 1862 bendix is pretty unhappy. I need to pull it off and clean it up but haven't had time.

My 1812 starts hard when it’s cold. I’ve started taking the battery out of it and keeping it in the basement. The big cold snap we had a while back, froze my battery. Not gonna but one til spring (I hope). After I get one, I may keep a tender on it once in a while. But doubtful

The only time I've ever had a Cub that was hard to start it was because it still had 30w oil in it. My 1050 sat outside all last winter at my mother in laws and it always fired right up when i'd go over to plow.

My 124 also sleeps out side, with the seat up. I have a small car battery in it and withing 2 revs its running. Knock the snow off and let it warm up while I clean the wifes truck off and we are ready.

Change my oil from summer to winter every year, keep them turned well and I take care of them. All I have is a battery tender which is why i have had the same battery for like 6 years. last snow it was -22 deg. 782 started up on second turn.. Never an issue, I do however let it warm up in winter for around half hr... mostly because I have a lot of hydraulics on her ITS SLOW lol

My 149 with snowblower sits in a heated garage, 50 to 60 degrees in winter depending on outside temperature. Should I change to 10w30 oil or leave the 30 wt. in the tractor? Have a great day
Thanks,
Bob

I know what the ops man says and there's lots of opinions but I've used 10-30 oil year round for 40+ years without any issues, can't say if it will cause issues for anyone else or not . I don't use any fancy oils just change it when its due and keep things clean when checking /changing. Certainly not advocating that method but it's worked for me ! definitely think it helps on those cold winter days

It doesn't.

Haha.

It's a hydrostat. We all know how those are.

I also put a trickle charger on it the day/night before I intend to use it. It sits in an unheated garage so it's out of the wind, but it still gets cold. I haven't yet gone the rear end magnetic heater (if it gets real bad) or the heat gun/hair dryer into the carb trick yet.

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.
