Default Hydro shims
I want to shim up the linkages on my hydro. I did the trunion weld/repair and it still slows quite a bit on small inclines. I can't seem to find shims locally so will have to order them, What did you guys that have done this use the most as far as size of shims? Any idea where I may be able to get an assortment pack?
Thanks

Default hydro shims
I bought them from Cub Classics,one of our sponsors. He has 3 specific sizes for shimming the hydro shaft. I have also been looking for a supplier of more sizes.

McMaster-Carr is where I got mine; you can get quite a few different thicknesses. I usually buy a pack of 0.005" and 0.010" shims, put the 0.010" ones on until I can't get the snap ring on, then remove one and replace it with a 0.005" shim.

Matt. I need to shim my hydro cam. I have not taken it apart yet though. What is the proper inside diameter of the shims I'll need to order?

Pretty sure they're 5/8" ID, but measure your trunnion shaft to be sure.

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.
