Default 1811 hydro.... want it to free wheel by pushing

I have an 1811 hydro that has the elusive "turn the key and nothing happens except the oil light glows" syndrome. I was reading earlier about the clutch safety switch and the seat safety switch and the hydro PTO mechanism.

Anyway, a. Couple months back we had this "not starting" issue come up. We changed out the pto switch and the solonoid, looked over the wiring and after many tries we decided to take it in for repair.

Problem was, you cannot EASILY move this thing around if it isnot running. Even says on the sticker...Do Not move to avoid tranny problems.

So we wrestled' cursed, looked all around for a neutral mechanism while we lifted and slid a trailer under the cub. Off to the respair shop.

Evidently the shop guy took off the cover plate, did something and the cub easily rolled off the trailer. My Dad isn't sure what the guy did to make it free wheel. Any help or directions.

The shop got it t work and we were cutting grass, then the elusive syndrome appeared again.

I found the clutch safety switch (need a part number to replace) found the seat safety switch ( need a part number) and will be looking at the ignition switch and the wiring at the ammeter.

My father wants to take it back tot the shop....yep you guessed it.

How do we move this thing without it running?

Any and all help will be appreciated.

Rick

That cover (the tunnel cover as I call it) has two hydro release valves underneath, sitting on top of the pump. One for forward, one reverse. I don't recall if you can retro fit a manual valve, but sounds like the mechanic either pushed down the buttons (manual) or temporarily removed one or both of the valves. They are most likely automatic valves which have a bigger top section. They do go bad eventually, so it may be time for a new pair. They are available new from these folks I believe:

Somewhat expensive, but cheaper than a Cub dealer and being able to move your machine around is worth it. You can also get rebuilt ones on ebay for quite a bit less, and this is the way I go. Search "timarca" seller on ebay.

the 1811 should have automatic hydro valves unless they changed the pump and did not have the lever in the tunnel cover to push valves down

I have an 1811 and it can be pushed without too much effort. The relief valves are supposed to be automatic and do not require a lever to push them down. They can go bad and get stuck in the closed position so you may need to take them out and soak them in a solvent and then see if you can get them to move freely. If you want to check out your starting problem you can just lift the seat and jump the solenoid right to the battery positive post and if it is not the starter or the solenoid it will start. If it is the solenoid then you can jump to the starter side of the solenoid and the starter will activate.From there with the same alligator clamp wire you can go to each safety switch and jump it to see if it is the one causing the problem. The great thing about the 1811 is that there are no printed circuit boards that require much more time and effort to check out and almost everything on it is simple. Remember to start with the starter to battery. Then go solenoid to battery. If all is well pick a safety switch and jump it. Good luck

Yes, it came with automatic valves. I was covering some extra bases including the infamous PO mods.

All of my 82 series machines push relatively easy except the 1572.

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.
