Nice mods to your Cub! I like 'em.
Do you think the exhaust pipe penetrating the side panel will put off enough heat to affect the paint on the panel since it is not high temp paint? Just wondering...

I was curious about that myself. The air gap around the exit pipe is 1/8". I haven't seen any deformation in the paint yet. Next time I mow I'll use my infrared thermometer to take a reading. It's possible I may need to increase the air gap or maybe use some exhaust wrap I have left over from another car project.

Got the 3 point all painted yesterday. I used the POR-15 toughnose light yellow and brush painted it on. Seems to match the Cub yellow fairly well. That's some tough paint! Probably put it on the tractor this weekend. *Sorry for the blurry pics; was in a hurry and snapped a few quick ones.

Got the 3 point installed a few days ago, it looks great.
![]() . And just in time since I got 15 yards of driveway gravel delivered on Saturday. I'll be going to pick up this rear blade on thursday to help spread it around. ![]() . But for a little bit of bad news...the tractor and I had our first fight. And boy was it a 'hot' one. I was mowing the backyard when I started to smell a faint fuel smell. Sometimes I smell it coming from the vent on top of the tank, but this was much stronger. I idled it down and shutdown just as a fireball erupted under the hood. Luckily I've learned to always have a fire extinguisher full and ready somewhere. I sprinted up to the garage and was able to put it out before any major damage. ![]() . And this was the culprit right here. This was the plastic 'fuel injection rated' fuel filter that came with the engine kit. It looks like it got a hot spot on the outside and the fuel pressure pushed the plastic out until it started to spray on the engine. Luckily on the side with no electronics. ![]() ![]() ![]() . Luckily no major damage. I replaced the fuel filter with a metal WIX fuel injection rated one and she started right up. Cleaned, buffed, waxed, and ready to get back to work. The old paint shined up very well. New decals are the next on the list. ![]() ![]()

Is that an extreme 3 point kit?

Glad you got the fire out before it got out of control. Couple suggestions.
1: I'd move the fuel filter to the other side of the fire wall 2: May want to rework the ducting at the front of the engine a bit. 3:I'd run it for a while with the side covers off just to keep an eye on it. Pic is how the duct work is on a 2284.

Yep. Haven't had a chance to test it out 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.
