Default Oil Cooler
Just a random thought that came across my mind the other day while working; has anyone out there ever put an oil cooler on any of the Cubs equipped with a remote oil filter? It would slightly increase capacity, if done right it would help the engine to run a bit cooler, and should extend oil life, even if not by that incredoubly much. The only real concern I could see is is the oil pump sufficient to pump through the extra line/radiator? What do you more experienced guys out there thing?

Edit: Something as simple as this:

As for where to mount it, I'm not 100% sure. Between the front grill and engine? This is more about would it be worth it rather than where would it mount. Like I said, just a thought.

Ryan,
If you were to mount a cooler, it would have to be behind the engine near the flywheel where the fresh cool air is. You can't put it up front as the air up there is hot, plus the fan on that unit you posted a link to would melt up there. Someone here tried something like that already.

There was an oil cooler available for the CH engines, that is just like what I mentioned. I don't have time to look for it right now, but it's out there. I'm not sure if there was one available for the Mag's or not, but it's dooable.

I looked into this back when I had an 1863 and posted a similar question on this forum. The tractor was running very hot, and I didn't know why. I later learned through posters on this forum the tractor was running lean. Google "oil coolers for Kohler Command engines," and you will see how they are put on the engine. Part of the shroud covering the shaft/flywheel area is cut out, and the cooler attaches to the side of engine tins and partly inside the shroud to get the cooler air. It should be noted some larger Cub Cadet zero turns may have them assembled already. Since I got the GT2000, I have not thought about it as engine does not run hot.

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.
