Used to be a Busch North racer using that Evans coolant as far as I know it worked pretty good.

I have a 1772 that gave me overheating problems until I added insulation to the top radiator hose that runs across the top of the engine. I also wrapped the hose with aluminum type tape they use in ac ductwork. Made quite a difference in cooling. Jim

I did the same thing. My 1572 started running hot when the factory insulation rotted off. I added the aluminum tape and it fixed the problem.

Hi guys,

Need to post a reply as to how I came out with my tractor running warm.
First of all, I did the radiator flush, then I added the wetter water by HY-Per. Got this at O'Reily's. They also had the Redline. Then one evening, I got to thinking that I hadn't even checked the fan belt. Checked and sure enough was pretty loose. I could turn the fan by hand both directions with little effort and the fan belt looked to be new. Checked the radiator with a light and could see through the cores all over, so was sure that there was no obstruction (dirt) blocking the air flow. After all this, the gauge reads just about a needle width above the half way in the Green section. My gauge has the Yellow, Green, and RED. Before this, it was almost in the Red. So, looks like we did some good. I want to thank all of you for your suggestions. Oh yes, I do think I still will get some insulation wrap for that radiator hose. That sounded like a good suggestion also.

Thanks again Guys,

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.
