1974 Cub cadet 1250 partial restoration
Here's my 1974 Cub 1250, got her for 200$ at an estate auction, along with a deck, and snow blade. She has ag tires and wheel weights, had tire chains and goofy headlights. She's a little anemic, but it's okay. We removed the one tire and swapped it, turns out my spindles are dead from the bearings seizing and
scoring the hell outta them, so she's gonna need new spindles. She has a weird pepper can exhaust, which sticks out like a sore thumb and is a burn hazard. She is, of course, missing the expensive parts, and she has no headlights, but it's fine. http://preview.ibb.co/dnvWyy/20180509_172030.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/i2Wh5d/20180509_172051.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/d6DvQd/20180509_171003.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/hFfLrJ/20180509_165826.jpg |

My plan is to put new decals on, install factory headlights, fix the muffler, repair the steering, and replace a few parts.
I might put a hydraulic lift in it once everything's done like my brother did. |

Yeah its rather hard to say "I'll only repair this and that". Every time I set out to fix one thing, I see something else, next thing you know its all apart and I say, well I might as well fix_____. But its nice when its done and I can count on it being rather reliable.

So far I've had multiple issues with the Powr kraft and one issue with my 1250: The hydro is severely anemic. |

I've figured out some issues with my tractor.
1. The thing misfires like mad. It misfires when on rough terrain and when throttled up. It is running lean? Or is it some other issue? 2. The hydro is weak. The tractor can barely make it up hills, and the pump gets hot. I think it is low on fluid. 3. Amp meter barely works. It goes up upon startup, but then slowly drifts back to 0 when running. Wiring issue or is it broke? Thanks in advance, I'll post more later. Here are some pics: |

Anyone know how to get the locknut off of the muffler elbow on a 1450? I've tried a few different methods but none can get it off, and I'm not paying 85$ when I have a perfectly good one on the 1450.
It would help if the stupid engine tins weren't in the way. |

If you are trying to remove the elbow to use it you might be a little disappointed. They don't come out easy or not at all, they are cast so if you're to rough on it it will break.

Unless it's absolutely necessary, don't remove the elbow.
Like Tim said, it's just a conduit nut. Nothing special. To remove the nut and elbow, drive the nut loose with a punch. Soak the elbow inside and out with a good penetrating oil (like Kroil). It really needs to sit overnight. Heat the cast block area around the elbow with a torch. Propane torch will work, but if you want to use an acetylene torch, remove the head first. It doesn't have to be scorching hot, just hot. Then, use a pipe wrench and try to break it free. Easier if the engine is bolted up in the tractor to do this, but can be done with it out. I've taken several off this way with good luck, and no damage. But again, unless there is good reason to remove it (it's broken, or switching motors) just leave it in. |

I do need the elbow because my tractor doesn't have one and I am not spending almost 100$ on a new one.

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.
