To remove the mulching attachment on a Cub Cadet XT1, follow these steps:

1. Lower the Mower Deck – Use the height adjustment lever to drop the deck to its lowest position.
2. Remove the Mulching Plug – The kit includes a plug that blocks the discharge chute. Pull out the plug from the chute.
3. Replace the Mulching Blades – If mulching blades were installed, you will need to remove them and replace them with standard blades. This typically involves removing the blade nuts using a wrench.
4. Reattach the Discharge Chute – If the chute was secured out of the way, release it back into its normal position.

Ensure the mower is turned off and the blades have stopped moving before performing any maintenance.

The black box located downstream of the fuel filter on a Cub Cadet XT1 is likely the carburetor. The fuel filter is installed between the gas tank and the carburetor to filter the fuel before it reaches the engine.

My xt-1 acts as if it’s in low gear

Your Cub Cadet XT1 may act as if it’s in low gear due to a bad transmission. According to the context, the issue worsens over time and is eventually confirmed by fluid leaking from the bottom. This indicates that the transmission is failing, which can cause a loss of power and poor drive performance even when the engine runs normally.

suspect ignition switch problem. Motor will inadvertently start to shut down. By manipulation of key in switch, I can sometimes keep motor running. Other times the motor shuts down and then I can restart it.
