Possible Causes

Collision with solid obstacle, Being run over by another machine, UV‑brittled plastic, Improper lifting or storage

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.
