Locking gas cap for tractors
Last Saturday I got this Scott's/JD lawn tractor from my brother and it had about 1/8th tank gas in it. My 2155 also had maybe the same amount in it. Sunday my new starter arrived so I slapped it on the ol' Cub and while it would turn over, it wouldn't crank. Checked and the gas tank was EMPTY. Checked the Scotts and same thing, EMPTY.
I added some fuel to both tanks and made sure the Cub cranked with the new starter. Fast forward to today and I went to use the Cub and low and behold, tank is EMPTY again. Checked the Scotts and it's still got gas. So I thought maybe the Cub has a leak? But I don't see any wet ground or dead grass underneath where it's parked... Talked to my neighbor and he said he's been seeing this unfamiliar car parked around our neighborhood and just driving around like they are looking for something. He also said he noticed the seat on his tractor was down instead of up to keep the rain off. And his dog has been growling/barking in the middle of the night like it detects something/someone. So now I'm thinking someone is stealing gas from my tractors! My question is, do they make locking gas caps for these things?

I was gonna say the same thing live electrical wires and gas don't mix. At least I wouldn't hafta worry about the person stealing the gas, or even the tractor itself, anymore!

my father had a similar problem - he left one of his gas cans sitting out next to the tractor half full of gas - well two inches of gas and two inches of water! they came back about a week later and stole the can. The next morning there was a car about three miles down the road broken down. They never came back to steal more gas.

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.
