Cub Cadet Riding Lawn Mower Air Filter Removal Tutorial [Cub Cadet Air F...

Quick demonstration on how to easily change the air filter on your cub cadet riding lawn mower. You don't need to completely remove the hood to change the air filter (the hood does easily detach with minimal effort as shown in my video here: https://youtu.be/_eeUKdvqSKc). Air filters are cheap and easy to replace on these riding mowers so as a part of normal maintenance and upkeep I like to slap a fresh one in there every season or two. Here's a paid amazon link to the replacement air filter: HEYZLASS 2 Pack 32 083 09-S Air Filter, Replace for Kohler KT715 KT725 KT730 KT735 KT740 KT745 Engine Cub Cadet Lawn Mower Air Filter, Premium 32 083 09 32 883 09-S1 Air Filter: https://amzn.to/3ztzvIX Here's a paid amazon link to CUB CADET 19A30030100 FastAttach Double Bagger 42" 46" Deck XT1 XT2 LX46 LX42: https://amzn.to/3mHRDuR Please stop by https://www.diy-technician.com

How to put your Cub Cadet Riding Lawn Mower in Neutral [Cub Cadet Neutral]

Youtube Short on "How to put your Cub Cadet Riding Lawn Mower in Neutral". This is simply done by pulling the lever down below being the seat. It's a little inconspicuous so if you don't know how to do this or you've lost your owner's manual for this machine than you may find yourself trying to push it while it's in gear which is really tough. I did just that until I though "there has to be a way to put this in neutral". It was easy enough once I looked around and tried a few things before finally figuring out that the answer lies in just simply pulling this "L" shaped piece of round wire/stock coming out of the back of the mower.

Changing Programming Code

CHANGE CURRENT OR PRESET PROGRAMING CODE (PC)

DIY How to Upgrade and Change an Electrical Wall Outlet 110V Household P...

The first step I did was to turn off the power at the breaker then verified that it was in fact by making sure a plugged in light didn't turn on as well as verifying with a voltage sensor. Once I confirmed the power was off unscrewed the old electrical outlet and discarded it. The new one went on the exact same way as the old one came off. Once I tightened down my new connections I gave the wires a nice tug to make sure they were secured properly and won't come free. I added a layer of weatherproofing and then a new outlet cover and called it a day. I turned the breaker back on and was in business with a brand new upgraded outlet.

Wagonwheel Lake Hike/Run Olympic National Forest WA State | 2.9 Miles Ve...

This butt kicker starts off slow at the trailhead through some mildly steep ferns and then progresses into an endless series of grueling switchbacks.Once you think you're getting close to the top or to the lake, the steep part is just beginning. It keeps getting steeper and steeper to the top. Once you reach near the top the trail side-hills it and makes you think it's going to stay flat for a bit but then it inclines some more. It then takes you through a nice brushy green area that was a landslide area some time ago and looks like perfect country for a bear, filled with cover and berries. In April and May time frame this is where I'd hit snow both times and had to turn around as I was unprepared as a first time hiker of this trail. This particular section in the end of July and August its nearly overgrown with many greens and trees across the trail so one must be careful not to get your ankle stuck in these. Once you pass this area you'll cross a little creek and then shortly after the lake will be on your right. It's a nice beautiful green and deep looking. On this day there were so many bugs and butterflies that I couldn't hang near the shore for very long without getting eaten alive, even with a hefty coat of bug spray on. They seemed to be immune. The reward is fairly nice, however, it it's just cooling off you're after, you may be disappointed as that can be done down at lake Cushman or it's inflowing Skokomish River. There were many nice salmon berries to eat along the way. The only wildlife seen today on this hike was a family of grouse and a newt that surfaced at the lake. Once the lake experience is done it was time to head back down. This descent makes you painfully aware that a whole new set of muscles gets used for heading downhill. I don't recommend this to anyone as it's quite dangerous but I decided to double time the nearly the whole way, pushing my limits as it was 90+ degrees on this day. I made it down from the lake to the trailhead in 56 minutes. I took a few breaks to film along the way. I slept like a rock that night with the stars over my head at the Staircase campground. Wonderful experience overall.
