I have a Cub Cadet riding mower (LTX 1040) and was wondering if that is adaptable to pull a riding mower cart? What year was the mower manufactured? The mower has a bagger on it now.
Please reply to: bobbyconant@aol.com
Thank you
I have a LTX and the right rear tire on the inside is full of grease as well as the rim. Has something gone bad or leaking in the gear system or transmission?
Could a rotary brush be installed on the ltx1040?
My LTX 1040 will go reverse but not forward, it’s like it is hung up in reverse. Any suggestions?
