Default Hydro creep on my 1450

Ok I'm frustrated. First let me say that I've adjusted many Cubs with hydro creep with great results but this is my first QL and it's making me crazy.

I've read all the manuals and posts here to try and resolve the issue but no success.

I have jacked the rear wheels off the ground and adjusted the cam bracket to the point where the wheels stop turning. Now if I move the speed control lever forward and press the brake it stops as it should and does not creep. If I move the lever to reverse and press the brake it continues to creep in reverse. I have tried adjusting the connecting rod very little and a whole lot and can't find the sweet spot.
I've tried adjusting the speed control lever so it hits the neutral position and then adjusting the cam bracket and when that didn't work tried the cam bracket then the speed control

I should mention that I replaced the cam bracket, damper plate, rod ends and repaired a worn out trunnion bracket.

There's a lot of Cub knowledge on this site so I'm hoping someone has the answer.

Thanks
Richard Lueders

Well I don't know if it was karma or just more patience but I tried again and finally have it adjusted to a point were I'm happy.
This time I moved the cam up as high as I could, locked the brake down and tapped the cam down to where the whining stopped and tightened the bolts. After that it was a matter of adjusting the rod a half turn at a time to the point where it does not creep back or forth.

Bring on the snow.

Mike - LOL nope, not stockpiling, sold a 129 and picked up this 1450 to give the QL a try. Liking it so far.

Still have the O and a 104 that only comes out on nice days.

The pic shows my leaf/light snow wings that come off with 4 bolts. The 1450 still needs paint and stickers (and the correct seat) but that has to wait until spring.

I wished it would snow more in the south so we could use our Cubs in the winter.

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.
