1. Safety
1.1. Before servicing the Big Country, technicians
should be familiar with the vehicle and the Oper-
ator’s Manual that applies to it. There are impor-
tant instructions that pertain to safe and correct
operation and service of the Big Country con-
tained in the Operator’s Manual.
1.2. The procedures in the Service Manual are writ-
ten with the safety of the technician and operator
as a primary consideration. Failure to follow
these procedures may create a dangerous con-
dition.
1.3. There is no substitute for common sense.
2. Model and Serial Numbers
2.1. The engine and transmission are components
that Cub Cadet has purchased from outside
sources and incorporated into the Big Country
utility vehicle. The Chassis, engine, and trans-
mission each have separate model and serial
numbers.
2.2. To make parts identification easier, and to
accommodate warranty administration, the
chassis numbers should be recorded in the
Operator’s Manual as well as the sales receipt.
2.3. Chassis Identification: The model and serial
number of the Big Country are located on a tag
on the bottom of the plate that driver’s seat is
mounted to. Tilt the seat forward to view the tag.
See Figure 2.3.
Figure 2.3
2.4. If the tag comes off, or if the seat plate is
removed, the servicing dealer can get a new tag
issued by calling Cub Cadet.
2.5. The servicing dealer must be able to identify a
Big Country by model and serial number in order
to perform warranty service on that unit.
2.6. Engine Identification: The engine serial number
is located behind the starter motor.
See Figure 2.6.
2.7. The engine serial number is easily visible from
under the Big Country without removing any
parts. See Figure 2.7.
