Default Any secrets to swapping Lift Valve?

After a couple weeks of trying to unstick the lift valve assembly on my Quietline, I give up and have located a good used unit. What am I up against when I remove the hydraulic lines? Is oil going to fly everywhere? Will there be air introduced to the system? Will I need to add oil and purge the air? If so, how so I do this? I did a search in the technical library but could not find out answers to these questions. Maybe I am thinking too much but it seems to me, unless the new lift valve is full of oil, there will be air introduced and that can't be good. If anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it.

You'll lose some oil, but not an appreciable amount. Simply operating the hydraulics after installing the valve will work out any air trapped in the system.

I have a suggestion. if you are taking the valve out to replace it, put it in a vice, and hit the valve with a hammer. if it breaks, get a new one like you planned. if it works, you saved a bit of money and time. just my $.02

Just my luck, the day the replacement valve arrives my stuck valve breaks free. Good ol' PB Blaster.

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.
