Default 1811 Foot Control

This style uses a 1981 Tempo transmission shift cable and a homemade return to neutral (RTN) device.

Tempo (or other approx. 42 inches long) shift cable mounted to the left side of the tower and attached to a bracket coming off the Hydro Control cross shaft.

8 1981 tempo shift cable 42 inches long.jpg

RTN mounted under the right foot rest. RTN and shift cable are attached to the bottom of the foot control assembly.
The adjustable rod from the RTN to foot control allows easy adjustment of the RTN neutral and the tractors neutral with brake pedal depressed. (Make sure the hydro does not creep prior to starting this project) The hardware sourced springs pull the hydro to neutral when you take your foot off the pedal (or spots in between). The springs need to be strong enough to do so. The pull on the RTN can be adjusted to your preference by the ¼ -20 adjusters and spring strength.
Back off the friction lock, as it is not needed and makes it easier for the RTN to do its job. A Damper was not needed. I suspect the shift cable served that purpose. I used a new shift cable $30 or so from e-bay. But that was a few years ago. After trooping around a number of junk yards and going thru the effort of removing what turned out to be a junk cable, it was worth the $$.

9 Return to neutra Device with return springs.jpg

I no longer have this tractor but this setup worked well for a number of years. I used this one mostly for blowing snow. If I use one like this again (RTN under the foot rest) for snow duty I would figure out a way to keep the slush and salt etc. off of it.

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.
