Looks pretty crusty, much worse than mine was.
Damn shame the way some folks abuse this equipment.

I wouldn't say abuse.... looks like it was just left outside. As in, probably quit and left for "junk". Now, it has been rescued.

If all that holds it together is the fittings I would remove the fitting on the end that the rod comes out of and connect a porta power pump to the other end and use it to push the piston out. Just be carful because it could be messy and come out with some force. Maybe cover it with a heavy blanket or something.

A word of caution - please don't be tempted to push the piston/rod assemble out using compressed air. The assemble could suddenly come loose and become a missile launched from the tube.

Agreed!! I did that once with a brake caliper... the outcome was pretty violent...

Sam's idea should work good though.. slow and controlled pressure is the way to go!

Since the rod is junk anyway, just clamp it in a vise and give a yank. It'll probably come out. Sam's suggestion is good and bad. It shouldn't take much pressure to get the parts moving, but when they do move, it could be somewhat violent if you put more pressure than you think on it.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I've been out of town for Thanksgiving. I was able to hammer the non-rod end out of the cylinder and look down inside. Haven't figured out how to get the rod end out just yet. Tried clamping the rod in my vise and pulling on it like a slide hammer. That wasn't going to work.

I just like taking things apart and figuring out how and why they work the way they do. I've got a hydraulic shop down the road I was going to contact for hoses and the rod. Unfortunately before I posted, I thought the ends threaded to the tube. I tried to clamp down on it just hard enough to torque it but not hard enough to warp the body, but I think I deformed it anyway, just like finsruskw said! Knew better but tried it anyway.

So, I'll just start searching around for another cylinder and not do that same mistake again. Hopefully someone else will come across this and do a better job than I did.

Thanks again and Happy Holidays everybody!

You mean you damaged the tube? It has been a while since I had mine apart, but I'm sure that it's just a piece of honed cylinder tube. I don't even think it has an o-ring groove inside of it, just the two holes for the fittings. It shouldn't cost much for a hydraulic shop to cut a new piece, drill the holes and deburr them to avoid cutting a new o-ring.

Yea, I damaged the tube. I didn't even know what you suggested was an option, so I'll look into it. Thanks!

If you can't find one locally, let me know. I'm sure I can make a replacement for you. You would need to send me the original for a pattern.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
