Cub Cadet Series 1000 is a versatile and powerful lawn tractor that is perfect for tackling a variety of tasks around your yard. With its hydrostatic transaxle, the Series 1000 provides smooth and effortless operation, making it easy to maneuver around obstacles and mow even the most challenging terrain. The 1-piece molded hood is durable and easy to remove, providing quick and easy access to the engine for maintenance. The Series 1000 also features a spring-loaded latch for added security and a torsion spring to keep the latch secure until you are ready to open the hood.

Series 1000 and 1500

1.15. A Hydro-Gear 314-0610 hydrostatic transaxle

with a different final drive ratio is used on LT

models having 22” rear tires. Hydrostatic tran

saxles have a rocker pedal to control forward

and reverse direction and speed.

See Figure

1.15.

1.16. A Hydro-Gear 320-3000 hydrostatic transaxle is

used on GT designated models. This is a sub

stantially heavier duty IHT than the one used in

the LT models. Hydrostatic transaxles have a

rocker pedal to control forward and reverse

direction and speed.

2. NEW HOOD DESIGN

2.1. Early 1000 and 1500 Series tractors used a vari-

ety of steel hoods and side panels. Later ones

resembled those used on the 2000 and 2500

Series tractors.

2.2. The hood presently used on the 1000 series

tractors is a molded 1-piece design.

See Figure

2.2.

2.3. The 1000 Series hood opens from the back.

See Figure 2.3.

2.4. The 1000 Series hood can be easily removed:

See Figure 2.4.

• Disconnect the headlight wires

• Release the retaining springs

• Align the bolts in the hood with the slots in the

hinge.

• Lifting the hood off of the tractor.

2.5. The hood used on the 1500 Series tractors for

2005 and 2006 is more substantial than that

used on the 1000 Series. It is a one-piece

molded design very similar to the one used on

the much larger 5000 and 6000 series tractors.

See Figure 2.5.

• It opens from the front.

• A pair of gas charged cylinders provide lift assist.

See Figure 2.5.

hood closed.

See Figure 2.6.

2.7. A torsion spring keeps the latch secure until the

lower pivot latch is intentionally pulled up, to

open the hood.

See Figure 2.7.

2.8. The hood latches to a sturdy rod that is mounted

to the front of the frame.

See Figure 2.8.
