I have the 2019 50 inch cut with the manufactured deck. 24 horse Kohler. I have 605 hours on it. I've used it constantly for many projects. I change oil at maximum 50 hours depending on how hard it used. It is the absolute best mower I've ever owned. I've just started having this reverse problem. Until this reverse issue this mower has never caused me a bit of trouble. I recomend this mower to anyone. One of my friends took my advice and bought one too. He only needed a 42 inch cut with a 17 horse motor. He loves his too. If you are an over weight person the seat and springs on the seat are perfect. The springs will not sag.

Would the problem w reverse cause problems with moving forward also?? Mine ran like a champ, then all of sudden it acts like its bogging down and dies out, meanwhile reverse dont work at all.

Wow! Mine had a sluggish reverse. Did the tap rigorously method and it worked! Ty!!!

How to keep the blades turning when i back up with my xt2gx54 club cadet. How do i over ride that system. Thank you.

nice work can we have part numbers for each

The rabbit pump worked on my XT1 LT46! It would barely move in reverse, now it flies, thank for the tip!

Just replaced compressor,condenser,accumulator,all lines and evaporator.not sure where orifice tube went.thanks much👍🏽

Thank you! I was able to fix my problem, a lot of grass build up , save me a couple of dollars!

Skip to time 11 He tells u to rapid pump the reverse

Thanks for the video. After doing some research and a lot of things entailing more complicated fixes, I came across your video. Since my reverse was working great and then suddenly stopped working, I felt your idea of rabbit pushing my reverse a few times to see what happens. IT WORKED! I moved it back and forth by hand a lot but working it harder and fastest the job, working fine now

Thanks Jesse! It worked like a charm!!

Thanks Jesse- tried the hydrostatic purge, which did nothing. Blew out as much debris as I could, although I couldn't see where there was grass build up. Did the rabbit action on the reverse lever multiple times and this fixed the problem. Reverse is now functioning great!

Thank you very much. I only had 37 hours on mine it reverse had quit.

Thanks for the information. My grandson will try it tomorrow if I e do it first. Good info!

I had the reverse issue. It was dead grass up under the reverse pedal. Removed the grass and it was fixed.

This fix worked a treat, thanks so much.

Thanks man! The tractor sat all winter, and after I changed the oil and the hydrostatic oil the reverse did not work. Your remedy worked like a charm! Thanks for saving me a trip to the dealership!

It sure was nice listening to you because of your layed back forum, normal words used without "fancy bells and whistles!" Plus the working area was well lit so everything was visible. So the woman thanks you for pleasantly educating the ones who need to know!?

Wonderful video it worked for me. Thanks

Thanks for the info!

Thank You! This worked, it operates like new now.

I have the XT2 42 inch.Kohler 7000 engine. Has less than 200 hrs on it.I tried what you said.I also had a person say you have to let the air out of the hydrostatic transmission.Pull the handle out in the back & start it to keep in neutral.He said hold gas down 10 sec.then brake 10 sec.do this 5 times. That lasted going backwards about 2 min.Then I heard pump the brake about 20 times same thing lasted 2 min.Every time I use it I blow it all out with my leaf blower in the under carriage.Nothing helps

just tried rapid pump and it worked instantly!!! great job Jesse

Just watched this and your bush fix worked on my reverse problem. Thanks a lot!!

All the nice comments but damn you are not real bright, purge it like you are supposed too. 15 mins of nonsense

Awesome information I just fixed the reverse issue by doing what you explained It worked well and yes popping wheelies was pretty cool too lol. Thank you for that information I thought my transmission was failing.

Im having the exact problem on mine right now. Reverse is almost nonexistent.

that mower is a BEAST! i have the cub cadet ltx1040. i also live in memphis tn. shout out to memphis.

guess I shouldn't have gotten rid of my 14 hp. craftsman tractor, never a problem in 20, yes twenty years of service..

@jessnjennplus5 Do you need to rapidly pump the reverse pedal while engine is Off or On? If it is On then do we need to put this in by-pass passive mode or it needed to be done in active drive mode while engine is on? (I have Cub Cadet XT1 LT 46 Hydrostatic Transmission, Kohler Engine, 2022 model with very slow/powerless reverse) Thanks

Thank you it actually worked. I was servicing a customers property. And the reverse was very weak then stopped all together. Did the suggested method and did a wheelie back on the trailer. Reverse is strong as ever

I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. kzbin.infoUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.

Thanks I like the way to explain, Hello from Puerto Rico

Semper Fi brother, I have the same mower lt 46, 24hp keep truckin…

Add me to the ranks of the very happy. 2019 LT46 responded immediately to your suggestions. Didn't get any wheelies, and I tried a few times, but it works like it did out of the box.

This looks incredible!!! ❤

Worked immediately! Thanks for this video!

Park it facing down hill open the rear hydrostatic valve (neutral) Push start the mower push the pedal forward 10 second then back wards and repeat this 10 13 times? This gets the air out of the hydrostatic transmission a common problem it fixed mine with out the brutality's of the rapid rabbit kick thrush reverse way. That way Looks hard on it.

Sir plz prcticaly vdo no english you know no people english so practical

I have one of these, same year but have a 24hp engine. Over these past eight years I have mowed over 2 acres at least once per week without any issues. GREAT MOWER!!!!

it worked, thanks

Thanks for the info it worked

Oh and when I search google for "Cub Cadet reverse issue" your vid was first to pop up. 😎

The one time that hammering on something fixes it. Yes literally just went out in my yard to test the theory of yours and by golly it works! And yes popped a small wheelie 😂. Had to pump it for a minute it seemed but it finally kicked in. Also did the "hard" forward to reverse move several times. The more I did it the better it worked. Hopefully this sorts my issue and I don't have to tear into the rear end.

My x t one was barely creeping in reverse did what you said and wow now it's a monster thank you for your help

Thank you Thank you my reverse works like day one

Haha! I grew up in Leland and now live 15 mins from Memphis

Same deck I have and wI pulled deck off and took spindles apart and remove inside brg cover and drilled and tap for grease zert
