Dielectric Grease (Use or Not?)
I was wondering if anyone used dielectric grease on their electrical connections on their cubs, particularly the ground connections or battery connections. We are approaching winter, when I may be moving snow and I figured with snow/moisture buildup on the cub, I'd seek advice on getting it ready for what might come. I recently bought some of it to fix the connections for the rear back-up camera on my pick-up truck and I debated using it on a cub. Thought I would ask first for someone who has BTDT before greasin' up ole' wheezer.
Thanks in advance for your advice. Cub Cadet 123

Hey 123, I don't know how or why that stuff works, but I have been using it on 12v cars for 30 (?) years. I believe it has always helped with continuity and as a resist layer against random corrosion and acid activity. Having said that, I have only been a Cub Cadet 129 owner for two seasons. I did use it when I did a repair to my ignition switch terminals (they might be called "spade" terminals) The terminals condition was loose, misshapen and pretty questionable. But with no further adjustments, the engine has been starting up great these two seasons. On cars, I always add it to plug boots, battery terminals, distributor caps and anything quick disconnect. I don't mean to sound like an advertisement, but I think it's useful stuff.

Thanks ChristopherCT. I think I will give it a try on some of my cubs and see if I like the results. Maybe start on my Zero turn 48" and go from there. I've never used it before, but thought it can't hurt. Need to try it on my pick up still and see about the results. Glad it worked for you with great results!

The only place where I would say be careful using dielectric grease is on components that are voltage sensitive. Much of the equipment that I work on for a living has a 0 to 5 V signal and too much dielectric grease can mess with that or worse yet too much in a plug for canbus communication
Fortunately our Cub cadet are not that sophisticated I do keep it on all of the pins for the trailer connection on my pick up and also on the plug of my trailer to minimize corrosion

I bought a can of CRC for preventing battery corrosion
For my job I use this stuff on batteries of electric scissor lifts....works great

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.
