Power washing rear end, hydro pump?
Is there any reason I can't power wash the rear end/ hydro pump on my 149? I figure the only point that I could possibly get water in it would be hydro manual release valves, was planning on cleaning those by hand and taping them off prior to blasting away. Anyone see any other potentional water pentetration sites I should be thinking of? It has been raining here today, figured might as well do it today, will get wet spraying it anyhow.

I cleaned the one on my 1250 like that and had no problems. I used degreaser and then sprayed it off with power washer. Looked real good afterwards. If you are going to do any painting, don't paint the aluminum housing fins on top. They help aid in the cooling of the hydro fluid.

Don't forget the breather hole on top of the rear end. It must act like a funnel as I have power washed cubs and opened the rear end and there was a lot of fresh water inside.

The wife caught me yesterday and put me to work on some of her projects so I never got around to cleaning it up. I will follow the advise given. I pulled the rear fender off it a couple days ago and would like to clean it up before taking it apart, by the looks of it I doubt it has been cleaned since new. I knew it was missing the fan for the hydro (new one on hand), but never would have guessed the hydro pump/ rear end would be so dirty. It is caked with old oil/ hydro fluid/ grease mixed with dust, it is so bad the fins on the hydro pump were barely visible. No doubt it will run much cooler with a good washing and new fan blade.
One other question, at the rear of the hydro pump above the rear end housing, the input shaft extends through the pump housing by about an inch and it has a hole drilled through it. Is there some reason it was made like this? I say input shaft because if I manually spin the driveshaft, the rear shaft turns as if it was a solid shaft extending out the rear. Just struck me as odd.

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.
