1811 hydro takes off full speed
I've been getting the 1811 ready for the grass. I patched a few holes in the 44c deck and sandblasted and applied por15 to the spindle mount plate. Replaced spindles and all the hardware, sprayed it with IH white on top and EZ slide paint underneath. I greased all moving parts and mounted the deck. The pto would only engage half of the time so I dissassembled, cleaned and set the gap. Seems to cut nice and smooth now, but finally I get to the problem.
When I set the hydro to mid speed the lever slides itself gradually to full speed. Kind of scary since I'm not used to a hydro drive yet. I put shim washers on two of the linkage shafts in the trunion mechanism to tighten up some of the slop but it still races off. Its also a little jerky when i move the lever. The trunion springs both seem to move freely and l don't see any wear, notches etc. Anyone ever see that happen before? No pics right now since I'm out of town. I'll clarify what I did and take pics when I return.

First check the bolts that bolt the differential to the frame. Check for lose or broken bolts. You probably need to tighten the friction washer nut on the hydro lever so it doesn't move so easy.

On the side of the dash tower there is a nut you can tighten, tighten it just enough to stop the lever from moving on it's own.

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.
