Hi all.

Some time ago I've purchased a 2006 Cub Cadet Volunteer 4x4 through an auction. I have just found this forum and hope you can help me or give me some ideas.

The problem here is that it was a non-runner with an "engine issue". There was some small wiring issue which I already fixed and started the engine (CAT/Perkins). To my surprise it didn't move after I put it in gear. After doing a small investigation I realised somebody took out whole CVT transmission and it lacks few gears and shafts in the transfer case. I called the dealer for a quote and the total cost of repairing it by myself on new parts makes it financially pointless.

Hence the question: do you think it's possible to swap the CVT and transfer case from some other UTV/vehicle? Or should I just scrap it/sell it for parts? I've been looking for an used transfer case but didn't find anything in US nor in EU.

I don't know who is the original manufacturer, but I believe that Cub Cadet UTV'S are actually a rebadged unit, usually a Chinese company. Someone here with much more knowledge than me will hopefully chime in with the details. That may be helpful to your search. 

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Already tried that. I've seen some parts for Hisun that supposedly fit Cub Cadet UTV but deifinitely not Volunteer diesel looking at the pictures. This thing is build by MTD and also sold as Massey Ferguson MF20MD but that got me nowhere so far 😕.

But thanks for suggestion!

The problem with finding a transmission to fit, is that it's probably fairly uncommon. So yeah, you could find a new transmission, but like you said, it's expensive. I can't imagine that there's too many donor  diesels around though. You'd need a wrecked one at that. And it's likely a much different transmission from the gas models. You might have better luck finding a gas engine with the transmission attached from a donor vehicle. Which is probably a lot more common.  But you'd probably want the wiring harness as well as the CPU. If it's an injection type motor. 

Marrying a different brand of transmission to your motor isn't possible with anything less than expert level skills. And probably more money than it's worth. But you might put in a motor, transmission combo. The fabrication skills are much less for that, although still a daunting task.

Personally, I'd either cut my losses, and call it a lesson learned. Or use extreme patience, and keep searching for the right donor vehicle. Or you might try to find one that's running, and then you'd have a parts vehicle.

Let me know if your parting out parts. I need cv axles. 

Hi Margrabia, I know your frustration, changed my cat diesel out with Kohler gas engine.  Right I would only get a penny for every dollar spent.  Are you willing to sell your machine.

I just came across this thread so I dont know how old the posts are. I just bought a 2008 cub cadet volunteer with the yanmar diesel and the cvt transmission for 500.00. The only problem was that he gave me the transmission in pieces because the reverse gear shredded and stripped the tranny case bolt. I managed to download the full parts manual and order the parts, im currently in the process of reassembly. Any questions feel free to Contact me at 1(631)2five2-73eight2

      Older Landmaster LM 650 Fuel Problem
      By Ed Michael
      My older LM 650 is blowing fuel into the air cleaner.  Any idea on what would cause this?  It is the Suzuki motor.  Not sure what model year it is.
      Thanks

      Hisun 700 won’t start due to Break switch
      By Some random dude
      2015 Hisun 700 Utv
      the break pedal seems to not fully throw therefore it won’t engage the switch in order to start. 
      it throws enough to stop the UTV but not enough to engage the switch. 
      I used it this morning, started fine, did some work then shut it off to talk to a neighbour and it wouldn’t start after. I can hear the injectors working but the break pedal doesn’t seem to go all the way down.

      What UTV should I buy?
      By Edelbrock
      So I'm interested in a side by side of some sort.
      Not sure what make/model to even look at.
       
      I would plan on riding on trails with very rough rocky terrain and plenty of mud. Maybe sand once in a long while. I like LOTS of power and drive fast, but also like a trail that is a challenge to get through. I think 4x4 would be a must. I like the idea of a supercharged engine, but I have never owned one, and would be a little concerned about long term reliability or expensive difficult engine repairs. If anyone knows quads, my favorite was the 2008 Polaris Outlaw 525 IRS. For dirt bikes, I raced a 2008 KTM 450 SX-F. So that gives you an idea of what type of off road stuff I liked.
      I don't like "utility quads" or "trail bikes". And likewise, I dont want a turd UTV. I want something that looks awesome and performs awesome. 2 seater with some cargo capacity at the minimum.
       
       
      Thoughts?

      New AMP Pro Owner

      Just received delivery of a 2024 AMP Pro.  Thought I'd start a thread with my impressions as I use it and learn more.  There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of real-world usage information out there on this model.  Hope this will help others as they research.
      Intended Use Cases
      Fire mitigation / slash removal from a 5 acre forested and well-gamble-oaked property.  The previous owners thought as much about fire mitigation as I do about fashion: not much. Snow removal Stump pulling General hauling (rock, lumber, etc.) Weimaraner energy depletion.  Wasn't an original use case, but a nice added bonus.  Experiences So Far
      Wasn't impressed that two of the bumpers on the underside of the bed where it sits upon the frame were missing.  The metal on metal contact has damaged the powder coating and the frame.  I expect a little better QC.
      I've only put a few hours on it, so not a ton to report on usage.  It isn't quiet; it's silent.  I can't even detect an electric note from the motor. I removed (and subsequently replaced) the motor cover noticed that the motor is German and made by Schambuller.  The motor controller is Italian and made by Dana TM4.  Given the operating specs of both I found on the web, I suspect both are higher quality than the previous Navitas (which is supposed to be decent).  The motor is rated at 25 hp and 71.5 lb-ft of torque.  It feels very powerful.  All the torque is delivered instantly, if desired.
      The bed is huge and has an electric dump as standard.  Great feature but would like it to go up a bit more.  Probably not feasible from an engineering perspective, but I want and I need ;).
      Power steering is nice, but vague.  Probably common to many UTVs, but I am accustomed to more direct results from input.  Plan early and plan often.
      In our first full day of usage, we hauled about 1/2 as much slash as the entire rest of the year when I was doing it by hand cart.  I may get fatter, but I'll also get more done.  After a few days of usage, the battery meter has gone down by 1/10th. 
      Until next time...

      Want a new work UTV; who and what should I look for?
      By FTG-05
      I want to ditch my Kubota RTV-XG850 and its moronic twitchy throttle design flaw, get rid of the problematic engine and the 40 mph purposely throttled speed.
      So far, I'm looking at the Honda Pioneer 1000 and the Polaris Ranger 1000, both of which have 1000-1500 lb payload bed capacity.
      What other makes and models should I be looking at?
       
      Thanks for the help!
