LT1050 stops driving. Recovers after cooling down.
Hello. I have an LT1050 (model no. 187347/13AQ11CP712, serial no. 1E195H20502) with Kohler Command engine (CV26). I don't remember what year it was, but I bought it new. I used it for a couple years and it's been broken for a couple years. I got it out last weekend and was able to mow half the yard before recreating the problem I experienced a couple years ago. It's time to figure this out so I can use it again. Here's what happened last weekend.
I was able to mow for 45 minutes to an hour before the tractor stopped dead in its tracks in a (small) cloud of rubbery smelling blue smoke. I had no forward or reverse but the engine was still running. (I actually shut it off right away because it stumbled a bit when the tractor stopped moving, but I suspect that was because the engine was suddenly unloaded.) After about 15 minutes of letting it cool down, I was able to drive it back to the shed without any problem. When it stopped a couple years ago, it did so in similar fashion, but I don't remember the rubbery blue smoke. Each time it happened, it would resume normal function after cooling down. It was cool here last weekend and I think that may have been why I was able to mow longer than expected before it quit. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. After two or three years of not having my lawn tractor, I'm finally getting tired of push mowing. Thanks for reading this. I'm looking forward to your feedback and suggestions. -Shaun

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.
