They will if you put a bunch of washers in the trunion to shim the hydro springs tight... <grin>

Washers is the first thing I've thied. I've tried a set up that doesn't use shims, bump the pump pressure up to 650 to 700 psi. Both help.....still have to move the direction/speed lever to keep a constant speed when I'm pulling a moldboard plow for any length of time. I don't have that problem with a manual trans Cub Cadet.
When tilling plowed soil with a hydro Cub....hit a low spot and the hydro Cub will slow down or come to a stop.
One thing to remember is a hydro pump is a fluid drive set up. All fluid drives will have some slippage. Hydros Cubs loose 1 to 2 horse power at the rear wheels because of the power needed to run the pump.

OK, I pulled a boner move. Just replaced everything on my 122 and neglected to grease it. Should I take it ALL apart again, and grease, or is there a way to get some on the drive shaft in the tractor.
Don't know what I was thinking, did the 100 and never forgot, any suggestions?

I put a small dab of grease where the throwout bearing rides and the end of the driveshaft that goes in the 3 pin driver. The motor has to come out or move forward to grease the front of the drive shaft. I've used a product called Liquid Wrench oil on the throwout bearing. I lock the clutch pedal down and gave it a shot. I haven't has a problem so far.
Both (hydros and manual) have their good and bad points. Some like me prefer a manual trans and some prefer a hydro trans. It's your choice.
I've been pushing a clutch pedal for 48 years......good habit is hard to break (my $.02).
Main thing is you are enjoying your old Cub.
