Guys,
How do I know when I need to replace the hydro release valves? They are manual type. Do they pop up when the motor is running? OR, do they release when the lever is pulled and automatically pop back up? Can they be cleaned and serviced? thanks jeff

My experience with them has been checkered I pushed the poppet down and it released the pressure as advertised BUT the poppet did not pop back up needless to say I had to remove the valve clean it the best I could heat the poppet until it worked free and it works normally.
I will use that feature with care, I am a cheapskate, and didn't want to spend the cash on something I may never use again so I tried the clean and lube it worked for me but your mileage may vary. Operation: they stay up for me the transmission works as advertised push them in the pump pressure is not send to the transmission and you can move the tractor freely You can get new ones click on the link http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/showthread.php?t=3 |

Actually the best thing would be to cycle the valves so they would not stick... once a year would probably solve all of these problems, at oil change or so so you could do a general maintenance. I will link to some websites below, and my battle with the check valves, I ended up purchasing a used set which one was stuck, I did repair one successful, however I have a lathe so keep that in mind, and it was a huge help. If these valves had been made to disassemble there would never be an issue with the valves at all, they are that easy to fix once you get them apart.. but you have to get them back together with good workmanship, and no worries about holding !!
If I were to do it again instead of tacking with a welder/brazing I think it might be better to cut them using the lathe, then leave a small shoulder to press them back together using epoxy for a mind ease.. and max press fit tolerance. On edit if your hydraulic check valves are failing/collapsing when the engine is cut off I think you have either weak or broken springs inside, they should hold up by them self as the spring is pretty stout. http://cubfaq.com/relief1.html http://onlycubcadets.net/forum/showthread.php?t=473 |

Congrats on fixing the valves. I love that feeling of accomplishment when a plan comes together.

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.
