I'm kinda new to the hydro's but since I own one now I guess I need to start learning. What are the release buttons for under the tunnel cover? I started it the other day & drove it around the yard but the release lever that holds the buttons down is broke so I didn't think it would move but it did, it worked just fine. So I guess I don't understand what they're function is.....

The buttons are for when you shut the motor off and you want to push the tractor around. It releases the hydro internal pressure allowing the tractor to move. Once the motor starts, the hydro builds pressure and the buttons pop up. This of course is considering all is functioning correctly.

if you need to move it without starting it you need to release the valves,BUT USUALLY THEY ARE RUSTY AND WON'T PUSH IN ,OR IF THEY DO PUSH IN THEY SOMETIMES WON'T POP BACK UP.spray them with a good rust penetrant and soak them ,then use a wire brush to clean as good as possible and hopefully if you do push them in they'll pop back up

If I understand you, the tractor is moveable after you shut it off?
Fwd and reverse? Someone may have installed auto valves along the way. Or, the buttons on top of the valves are stuck partially down. |

Thanks for the info, the buttons are working fine I just didn't know if they served another purpose other than releasing the pump to push the tractor.

No other purpose for them. FYI if they every wear out you can replace them with the automatic valves.

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.
