How to Jump Start Your Cub Cadet Riding Mower When It Won't Start! [Cub ...

DIY How to Start and Drive & Operate Your Cub Cadet Riding Lawnmower [Cu...

First you must have your behind in the seat because there is a safety mechanism under the seat that will not allow the Cub Cadet Mower to start unless it's being engaged. The next thing is to press the brake on the left side down with your left leg/foot and then turn the key to the right. It should start right up. If not, first troubleshooting step is to make sure it has gas in the tank. This takes regular unleaded gasoline or ethanol free premium gas. Once the motor starts and you want to go, you will simultaneously slowly release the brake with your left foot and then engage throttle with your right foot by pressing the forward most lever. There are two levers located at your right foot. The front one is forward and the back one is for reverse.

This riding mower is a cub cadet riding mower and is an XT2 enduro series.  I laugh about that and every time i think about "enduro" which to me means it's street legal.  

Whenever I'm done I make it a habit to pull the key out because that battery will go dead as it has many times in the past which ends up costing me a battery replacement. 

The throttle adjustment is important as well too. I usually like to keep it up high when I'm mowing an lower if I'm not mowing rather just transiting from one location to the other.

DIY How to Re-Handle An Old Axe Head with 28" Tennessee Hickory Handle [...

For many of my fellow enthusiasts, refurbishing old axes and woodcutting equipment is very rewarding. It brings new life and purpose to tools that would otherwise be left in their tired and broken state on a shelf somewhere or even discarded headed towards the local landfill. Repair of many types of simple woodcutting tools is fairly inexpensive when compared to purchasing new. Many tools like sledge hammers, axes and picks can last a lifetime and even get passed down from generation to generation, which I’ve personally experienced. In some cases, the repair of these tools is essential to survival because through their use, warmth can be obtained. In other cases, with regards to repair, it can be a matter of having an extra as a backup or just be great pieces for topics of discussion or for display. With regards to axes, if you regularly use your axe than no doubt at some point in the game you’ll be faced with the need to replace your axe handle. Part of the fun in getting into or being part of refurbishing axe heads and handles is learning and knowing what the various types of patterns, shapes and sizes of axes (and other tools) are called. Pertinent to this refurbishment project is some terminology such what is another name or what is a handle (a.k.a. a helve or haft) which is known as the hang. The hang of an ax is always a matter of personal choice. You should hang your ax to suit you. This should be where the head is neither too heavy nor too light, and the axe handle is just the right length for the user. Another feature of an axe head is called the “eye” of the axe. This is the opening in the axe head where the handle fits up into. For axe handle replacement, some of the tools you’ll need are as follows: § Vise § Hand saw § Drill and drill bits § Slotted screwdriver, piece of hardened steel (i.e. cold chisel) § Hammer Amazon (paid) Link to a Set of 3 Extra 19" Hickory Handles for Tomahawks & Axes: https://amzn.to/3DpBxfk Please visit my website: 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.
