How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF power and disconnect the battery before handling damaged plastic parts.
- Assess structural integrity: If cracks are near wheel mounts, blade motor, or battery compartment, do not operate the mower.
- Check sensor alignment: Ensure bumpers, lift sensors, and tilt sensors are not misaligned by the damage.
- Temporary sealing: Small cosmetic cracks can be sealed with outdoor‑grade plastic epoxy to keep out moisture, but this is not a structural repair.
- Replace housing: For major cracks, replace the Cub Cadet upper housing or chassis frame as specified for your model.
