Hydro rebuild kit for 1720
 
Is there a hydro rebuild kit for a Cub Cadet 1720? If so, what is the part number? Is this a fairly easy job to tackle?
Thank you

What is the problem? they are not the sundstrand unit, so other than a seal or 2, most just parts them out when the hydro goes bad.

Nothing wrong yet George, I just would like to do some preventative maintenance if possible. Is there a hydro filter on this particular model? Also trying to see if there is a full line marked on reservoir where u put hydro fluid. I noticed there is a rubber gasket type thingy inside u can pull out. Gonna have to download a service and operator manual.

I'm assuming you have a Hydro-Gear transmission. You gotta know the model number, it is on a white tag on the transmission.

Is it an easy job to tackle, I don't thinks its a big deal, but then I did a lobotomy on myself with with a mirror and X-Acto knives.

All of the parts are expensive and tearing one apart just for routine maintenance is not something I would personally do.

Ok thanks Iron man. I thought i saw somewhere about a rebuild seal kit for like $20. Unless it starts leaking or something probably just leave it alone. Just change hydro fluid. Love the Kohler 17hp magnum in that sucker!

As I said, I don't know what model transaxle you have. Most don't have drain plugs, if yours doesn't you must remove it from the tractor and drain it upside down through a vent. Fluid inside is 20W50 motor oil not hydro fluid. There is a filter inside but to change it you must open the case. Then of course you WILL need a seal kit too. Filter, about $35.00, seal kit about $20.00, oil $7.00 a quart (need 2), tube of sealant to seal the case $7.00. Shall I go on....?

Sounds like if it ain't broke, leave it alone! Lol
I will get transaxle model number. So they don't take Hy Tran? 20w50. Got it. Thanks

That would be best. Or if you go diggin' you may begin to see leaks and trouble where you didn't before.:beerchug:
