Well between the BIL and his 10 year old son they are doing a serious stress test on this poor critter. Guess these 2000 series tractor are pretty tough after all. Forgot to mention they also bent the lift lever. Oh you have to push the little black button it when you pull up on the handle? Thing even has the spring assist so it takes like 2 fingers to lift the deck. I had to put a 2" pipe over the handle to straighten it. Give me a break. These 2 stars could probably bust a Cat D-11.

Sam get him a scythe. Couple days of swinging one of them maybe the butt crack will appreciate power equipment and how to run and maintain it properly.

Sam Mac, I think you should re-title this thread,,,,

The word "my" denotes ownership of the problem, Hmmmmmmmmm,,,,,

Change it to the word "the".... then you no longer "own" the problem,,,,,,

It had 132 hours on it when I bought it. It now has 160 on it so the Cub wrecking team has beat it up pretty good in just 28 hours.

I guess the silver lining in this deal is when they trash the tractor I may be able to pickup a good Vanguard for a re-power for cheap.

When you give the mower back to him, hand him a bill for the work. ( tell him this is the value of the work you did) Let him know the next time he brings it to be fixed, he will have to PAY for you fix his carelessness

Maybe you better make sure the engine is topped off on oil too if you might end up with it.

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.
