Default 1512 Teardown

I stared on the teardown of the 1512 I snagged back in the fall. I got the motor out the other day without issue; today it was time to remove the fenders and driveshaft and wipe off some of the crud prior to power washing the frame and transmission. So far, I'm contemplating replacing the fuel lines and doing a rear-end service. I already have the input shaft seal to install, and a gear-reduction starter to replace the factory lunker. I figure I should also do the belts and fluids while the motor is out. There is also some wear on the driveshaft coupling bolts and the swivel coupling at the motor end. I'll get a pic of that up later on so you guys can advise as to the urgency of any repairs that are needed. The trunnion shows very little wear, so at least that's one less thing to deal with.

This diesel has more foam stuffing than any tractor I've worked on!


Yuck!


Much better!




More Yuck!




Niceee...Think someone's been in here already?






I'm also considering adding the block heater since the engine is out and I'm planning to drain the coolant. Has anyone had a noticeable difference with cold starts after adding it?

my 782D looked exactly the same when i tore it down... im pretty sure caused by small amounts of diesel fuel that has been spilled over the years dripping on trans

More pics post-crud. She'll look proper after the power washer is finished.







Crumbs!

I would replace all the fuel lines while you have it apart too!
Is that the color of the tank,or is it dirty inside too?

Yep, that's how mine looked too. Change the lines and the tank bungs too. My auto parts store has the bungs for about $2.00 each. I also would probably change the shut off too since you will have it out. I drain the tank of any fuel and use dish soap and a bunch of water to flush the tank good. Both ends of the driveline use the standard ball bushing as used in the other machines and if the adapters aren't too worn you can just do the bushings. Watch the bolts on the front rag joint because the motor and the pump shaft are not at the same angle and the bolts will hit at the 6:00 position. Looking good.

It looks like you have a really nice tractor!

The 1512 I had ALWAYS leaked out the bleeders and the hydro unit was always oily. Too bad yours was allowed to get so dirty. I think there's something about the Kubota that causes the hydro bleeders to leak.

That 1512 should have come from the factory with power steering. Keep the steering components lubed up good and put a spinner on the wheel and you'll get by. I would pull the steering wheel and lube the upper steering stem bushing with moly graphite engine assembly lube and spray a bunch of Teflon lube down the tube about every 100 hours.

You'll love that little tractor.

Edit: I had to look back for the post of you finding the 1512. You KNOW what you have. Congrats!

I was surprised by all the foam on my 1772, as well. Not sure all of that is necessary?

I am curious about the block heater as well. I guess Kubota has one that goes in the head? Just have to cut a hole in the fan support plate. But for $50.00 bucks, it might be worth a try?

I went through all this last summer w/my 882.
I think the foam is to protect the fuel tank from contact with the frame and mounting hardware and causing friction/leak problems
Replace the bushings in the tank also while you are at it as well as the lines.
These smokers are great little Cubs for sure and will drag a 12" moldboard plow like it's not even there when set up correctly.
Biggest PITA is getting Hytran through that tiny fill tube.
Enjoy!

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.
