Hard to believe no one could cut his field. Not sure if fee to cut or payment for service were involved. Would think somebody needs a summer job to cut a field. To clean deck I use air compressor with long metal wand from I think Harbor Freight. Does pretty good job. Stopped using water hose after rust starting taking its turn on things. Nice vids as always!

I have some fancy slotted rotors I got for race track driving. After some track weekends, those rotors would chatter. My local shop had an old timer who would resurface them for $20 each. They were like new each time. Well worth the price given the high cost of fancy rotors. Slotted are supposed to not be resurfaced, but he had no problem doing it. I don't know whether the problem was uneven brake deposits or warping. I eventually found that slotted just were no good for my car, at least not worth the trouble and cost. Cheap rotors work really well on a light track car like a Miata. Definitely a worthwhile tool if rotors are more expensive or unavailable.

I had never tried to resurface a slotted rotor. I enjoy having the lathe, however. I think a resurface OEM rotor is far better than those cheap rotors out of China or Mexico.

It is very strongly magnetic. When you hook your cart up to the ride on, instead of bending way over and struggling with a cleaves pin you simply insert the magnetic hitch pin. The magnet nicely holds the cart very well attached to the ride on. When you are done and want to release the cart just simply pull the pin by the handle strait up and out. I am now in my 70s, before I purchased this hitch pin, I had to get down on my knees to attach my cart, then have someone help me up LOL.

What's different between anti seize and brake grease.
@richardspaulding503520 күн бұрын
They are both lubricants, the anti-seize covers better and has rust inhibitors. The brake grease however is a much better lubricant. That is why I put anti-seize under the abutment clips because those are stationary. I want to prevent rust build up between them and the carrier bracket. On the top of the abutment clips I like to put actual brake grease. This is because the lubrication quality is much better. The top of the clips are in contact with the pads as they need to slide back and forth when you apply / release the brakes. Sorry I was so long winded. I hope I answered your question.

Thank you for taking time to show the details of replacing the drive belt and idler pulleys. I have the same Cub which I bought used. I had to replace the deck hanger pin which hold the lifting arms for deck. This is the pin which is welded through the main frame of tractor. I drilled out the original pin and installed a hardened bolt which I had made a hole for the bow tie cotter pin. Now I have been waiting for your video which showed me how to proceed. You're the only one who actually pulls the idler pulley mounting plate off. I took it off to replace the welded frame pin. Cub Cadet does not sell these welded deck hanger pins (they are considered part of the main frame). This video has given me confidence that I can get the drive belt pulleys back in working order. The extra effort you took to get "clear, up close, detailed shots" has got to be the best I've seen so far.

The carrier bracket is often the most neglected part of a brake job.
This video was a great help to me, thanks.
Thanks, I think the job is a lot easier with the mounting plate removed as in the video
All the videos I saw on the subject struggled to replace those components with the mounting plate in the machine. It was so much easier to pull it down and do the work on the bench.
Thank you for such an informative and accurate video. We have the XT1. I had to be creative when reattaching the spring, as it required more strength than I am capable of, but I was still able to do it. At least I can be confident it is done correctly. I truly appreciate you!
Thanks for the kind words. Did you have the parking brake released as that would have made the spring a little easier to stretch? I am 71 and I was able to attach it very easily. In any event I am glad you got the job done. I think the job is a lot easier when that mounting plate is removed as in the video. Thanks for watching
Thank you, really helpful video.
The videos I have posted on this kit have been by far my most popular. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching.
How does it work?
It is very strongly magnetic. When you hook your cart up to the ride on, instead of bending way over and struggling with a cleaves pin you simply insert the magnetic hitch pin. The magnet nicely holds the cart very well attached to the ride on. When you are done and want to release the cart just simply pull the pin by the handle strait up and out. I am now in my 70s, before I purchased this hitch pin, I had to get down on my knees to attach my cart, then have someone help me up LOL.
Great video, I have the XT1 and everything looks about the same.
Yes, I think the only difference is you have a manual power take off and I have an electronic takeoff. I would much prefer the manual take off as the electronic one I have will cost a lot of money when it finally fails.
Are you sure you pressed the new hub in far enough? @7:58 the old hub is close to the edge of the race. @29:08 the hub is a long way away from the previous one.
I did the repair more than 5 years ago and as far as I know the car is still on the road so I must have done something right.
Thanks dude. Super helpful
thanks, glad I was able to help.
Thanks so much! I was about to order a knockoff one from eBay. If you get the new one, could you post an update?
Yes, at some point I plan to get one, that will make a good video, thanks for the suggestion
I recommend changing the speed to 1.5 for this slow talker. Great info though, more thorough than most. You actually made a pretty good case for the dice tool and the needle nose pliers! If this is a job that you're only doing once in a blue moon, one of those methods should cover it. Thanks.
I'm not just a slow talker.
Jesus. Mine I used a 4 foot pipe still no go.
They can be tough! I wasn't sure if I was going to get mine off, it was more than a little scarry. I did not want to use heat because of the aluminum spindle. However, if you must cut the bolt and the spindle gets damaged, they are easy to replace. You can find a replacement spindle for about 50 dollars depending on your machine. Let me know the outcome if you can.
I have seen some videos where an oxyacetylene torch was used to heat it until it falls off
I have been sliding the race off with an air hammer since the 1970s. I understand they have a special tool for that now, but I am an old dog. I have never considered using a torch, but I am going to try to find one of those videos out of curiosity.
There is a Mexican guy a few doors down. He is a mechanic, but old school. He always takes the knuckle off. But, he knows his s#$t. I need to do my fronts on a 2013 CRV. I will get the kit from autozone and give it a try. If I am unsuccessful I will let my Mexican friend do it. I have done many hub assemblies. Just bolt them on.
Honda is a nice vehicle; they look good, ride nice, and are very quiet. But do they ever suck to work on! I have an Accord in the shop as I am writing this reply. My nephew had it towed in with a broken drive axle earlier this week. He gave up on it after the first day and has not been back. Now I have got to finish it unless I want it as a permanent onement in my shop.
Thank you so much, this is way easier than what I was doing.
It took me a while to figure out where they had hidden the adjustment.
The object of the kit is to eliminate the need to remove the knuckle from the vehicle.
Yes, the kit can be used in the vehicle, I believe I mentioned this in the video. I had the knuckle out only for visual clarity. Furthermore, if one does not have access to a bench vice, using the kit while the knuckle is still in the vehicle is the only way to go.
he kits at the parts stores are heavy duty that will take the force of an impact gun.
I am sure there are kits available that are heavy duty. However, the kit used in the video is not. The kit in the video only goes for about $60 on Ebay. I have had numerous complaints from people who have stripped the jackscrew while using a power tool, In the video I cranked it by hand as you may have noticed.
Based upon his accent, I can conclude that this is a rust belt vehicle.
LOL, very much so. I am about 50 miles southeast of Boston near Cape Cod. I picked up the accent from a little of both places. Right now, I have a rust belt Honda in the shop, it has been a nightmare so far. Enjoyed the conversation, by all means don't be a stranger.
What's different between anti seize and brake grease.
They are both lubricants, the anti-seize covers better and has rust inhibitors. The brake grease however is a much better lubricant. That is why I put anti-seize under the abutment clips because those are stationary. I want to prevent rust build up between them and the carrier bracket. On the top of the abutment clips I like to put actual brake grease. This is because the lubrication quality is much better. The top of the clips are in contact with the pads as they need to slide back and forth when you apply / release the brakes. Sorry I was so long winded. I hope I answered your question.
Nice
Thanks, When I decided to replace the rear wiper blade for the first time, the only information I could find instructed me to remove the arm nut, then rent or buy a special puller to get the arm off. At the time I thought that ridiculous and knew there had to be an easier way. After I played around with it, I realized there was just enough flex available to flip the blade around, so I went ahead and posted the video. I am glad you found it and found it helpful.
Cheers buddy.you saved the day
Excellent video! Thank you! I've got to do the same thing and wasn't sure where to start.
In the older machines, it was much easier to remove the tank. I could not find any information on how the remove the tank in these XT machines. Once I worked out how to do it, I posted the video. It is very rare these days to be able to post something that has not already been covered. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching.
You’re a very wise man! Thank you for the DIY video
My wife does not think so, thanks for watching and the kind words.
Thank you for taking time to show the details of replacing the drive belt and idler pulleys. I have the same Cub which I bought used. I had to replace the deck hanger pin which hold the lifting arms for deck. This is the pin which is welded through the main frame of tractor. I drilled out the original pin and installed a hardened bolt which I had made a hole for the bow tie cotter pin. Now I have been waiting for your video which showed me how to proceed. You're the only one who actually pulls the idler pulley mounting plate off. I took it off to replace the welded frame pin. Cub Cadet does not sell these welded deck hanger pins (they are considered part of the main frame). This video has given me confidence that I can get the drive belt pulleys back in working order. The extra effort you took to get "clear, up close, detailed shots" has got to be the best I've seen so far.
Thank you for such a thoughtful post and your very kind words. I do not like to duplicate content that is well done on KZread. In researching this job, I saw nothing that could be considered helpful to anyone. In all cases camera work was poor, explanations were difficult to follow. No one explained that you engage the brake to release tension on the belt and disengage the brake to release tension on the springs. It was a very simple step to remove the mounting plate and made the job so much easier.
Is it compulsory to change the guides too when changing your chain and tensioner? Or can you get away with not changing the guides? Thanks! Great vid by the way. Very informative
Given the amount of work to get at the chain I would replace them needed or not, most kits come with guides and gaskets.
Hi Rich. When working underneath old rust buckets its always a good idea for safety goggles whenever looking up ( and ear plugs for that matter to keep the rust out of your ears). The slightest tap can bring down a shower of rust. Oh, and keep the mouth closed as well.
LOL, tell me about it. Wish you were around a few days ago when I was cleaning dirt and rust out of my mouth, nose, and ears.
@@richardspaulding5035 Well to be honest I usually remember after it is too late ....
@@helfrie LOL
Thanks for very informative video. I plan to replace inner and outer soon and love the tips on getting toe in alignment 'squared away'.
Let me know how you make out. This repair was some time ago, it says 4 years. She never got it aligned and I saw no unusual wear on the tires. Sadly, she no longer has the car as a tree of all things fell on it during a winter storm. Good luck.
We should be able to buy pre loaded knuckles. Bearing and hubs. Easy.
Yes, they are available for some vehicles
