Even in the crankcase pressured up too much, it would blow the seals out before it blew that cap off.... unless you didn't put it on tight and it unscrewed then vibrated loose until it popped off. That or you didn't reinstall it at all, and took off not knowing it, only later to discover it missing. Believe me, if you had a crankcase pressure issue, it would be doing a lot more bad stuff besides randomly losing the oil fill cap 1 time a year. Like I said..... I bet you either didn't reinstall it after topping off the oil, or it came loose. Happened to me before, so don't think I'm making fun. It happens.

If it is a 1/4 turn cap then your 20 horse command is a late model command. The CH 20 originals have a screw on cap that you can tighten down. I have an original ch20s in a 2084 and never had your problem.

It turns a quarter turn, or it's a quarter turn cap?

A quarter turn cap would have two tangs on it. If it has threads, it's a threaded cap.... that apparently turns a quarter turn to tighten. Two very different things.

If it is a true 1/4 turn cap, I want the model number of the engine, because I've not seen one with a 1/4 turn cap.

There we go.


To be fair, that is a new motor..... not a Cub Cadet spec''d motor. And a 22hp, not 20.

When you lost the original one last summer and replaced it, could the dealer accidentally have sold you the wrong style? A 1/4 turn instead of a screw on? Or, vice/versa. Or perhaps the part box/bag was mislabeled?

Things happen.

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.
