Thank you!!! You are the only video on TH-cam I found that showed me what I needed to know with this mower deck… I fight year after year getting the mower deck on and this is the easiest time yet!
Thanks for your video. I have a new XT1 LT50 and noticed it apparently doesn’t have a pto safety bracket on it like the LT46 and LT42 do. I looked all over my property because the belt popped off and I thought the bracket came off. Never found it so I started watching videos and researching the cub cadet site. Apparently there isn’t one on the LT50 I guess?! My old LTX1050 had a pto safety bracket. Time wasted. Ugh. But grateful for the confirmation. Not seeing one on your XT1 LT50
They make oil catch assemblies for placing under the filter so it catches the oil and funnels away from the frame. For my mower I use the same one I have for Harley motorcycles and bought off amazon for about 8 bucks..
Dude, ALWAYS change your oil/filter after your LAST MOW OF THE SEASON. Do NOT leave it in your shed over the winter with the old, crappy oil in it! Also, the Walmart ST6607 is a CHEAP and HIGH QUALITY oil filter. Happy trails!
I usually do, but this was the first oil change since I bought it. Wanted to get the break in oil out. I don't shop at Walmart. I'm fine buying the Cub filter.
@@QuickSpeedShop GO BACK AND WATCH YOUR VIDEO WHEN YOU CLOSE THE VALVE and you will see it turn a bit.They are known for coming loose and falling out.Just trying to help.
You’re not supposed to grease the gears on the front, nowhere it says in the manual that you should, neither the mower came greased when I bought it brand new
I grease my gears and it's 6 years old and 170 hours, no wear on my gears. It will collect dirt wether greased or not. The only thing I've done to it is replace battery, rebuilt starter and In process of replacing front wheel bushings.
All set for lawn mower races!!! Go Cub Cadet!!!

Thank you for a great video! I was able to change the oil and air filter easily with your instructions!
Kohler makes some great engines. I like that
they put an oil filter on it.

Must not be included on some models. I bought my tractor new and didn't take it off.

first oil change should have been at 5 hrs.
I didn't see you pop open the fill dip stick which allows for quicker drain. Maybe u did it prior.
I took off the pre filter. Is that okay??
That keeps extra dust out of the air cleaner. I wouldn't run it like that forever.
How’s the quality such as tire and overall running for thr LT 50
Thank you
Owned for three years now, no problems.
Let oil drain out first and it will be less messy when you pull the filter.
Change your oil every 100 hours.. use SAE 30... You're just wasting your money if you change it sooner.. of course check your oil level periodically
no way l'll go 100 hrs. I have this mower. the manual says 50. l think l'll go with them.
You need to tighten the nut on that drain.It is loose !!!
It's not a nut it's a quick disconnect. It's spring loaded.

Well, it's my tractor and I want the steering gear greased. Didn't think I needed Cub Cadet's permission to do that.
