So, whatever happened to the engine? You said you needed to do a leak down test? Why? Issues with it?

Honestly, I just haven't gotten a compression tester for a diesel yet. The reason for the test was to add boost and my own curiosity the hour meter never worked and i believe this engine has 2000+ hours.

I will say this it starts right up i just get a little more black smoke then i'd like to see and i suspect it may have slight low compression on start up but i am really talking out of my butt here as without a scan tool i am stupid.

I am sure you are wondering why spend the money to do all of this if i suspect something is wrong. I recently found a place that import small diesel from japan and they sell D600's. I wanted to make sure the rest of the machine was ready and needed no other maintenance. I am sure this D600 will survive plow day and this entire mowing season without needing to be touched.

I am open to any input from you J-mech i am sure you have a lot more diagnostic skills without needing to use a scan tool take it easy on me i am only 28.

A little black smoke out of a mechanical, naturally asperated diesel is normal.
If it starts easy, and isn't losing fluids, isn't smoking white or blue, it's fine. Don't waste your money.

Sad that they don't teach people how to diagnose without a scan tool anymore. Even on a computer controlled engine I'll get halfway to the problem before ever plugging one in.



I want to make another comment too.....
You guys who turbocharge these things. Don't get me wrong, it's cool. It looks cool, it sounds cool..... but I have yet to see anyone do it and it MATTER. All the diesels are hydro tractors. You ever kill or completely power out your hydrostatic drive diesel tractor with just the hydro? Have you ever pulled something so hard, it killed the motor? I can't say that I ever pulled something so hard it killed the motor on any of my hydro drive Cubs. None of them. It spins out before it kills the engine. Adding a turbo to that engine would only every make any different if you are still mowing with it, or using some kind of PTO driver implement, like the mower, or snowblower. Even a rear driven PTO implement. If all you do is push a front blade, or pull a moldboard plow, all you would add a turbo for is to hear it whine... because it will. Oh sure, it may give you a little boost, but on a hydro, there is no gain. On a gear drive machine, there is gain. It's not like the hydro gains anything when more torque is applied to the input. The hydro is not capable of making more torque.

I'm sure this is a wasted rant..... I don't know that many guys who turbo these tractors are doing it to gain power. I think it's just the wow factor.
I'd like the have a turbocharged D600.... In a gear drive.

Lol. I'm not knocking you Mike. I have a D600 sitting I plan to put in a gear drive. Maybe someday I can buy your (really cool) turbo kit. All I'm saying is they are cooler than they are effective on a hydro for anything other than PTO work.

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.
