Default 147 acting funny

When I tried to start my 147 the other day, it kept moving forward, even with my foot on the brake. the tractor wouldnt start, because the engine cant turn over fast enough....no matter what I tried I could not keep the tractor from moving forward. Any ideas???

is your hydro lever moved slightly forward? your linkages might be worn out and need some attention

Same thing happened to my 149 this Spring; could not start the engine because the starter was moving the entire tractor. It then started acting normally after a while.

Could it be something "sticking" in the hydro after prolonged non-use?

Default Sticking Valves?

FarmCat, I'm woridering the same thing as CitaBriaBob --if one of the valves is stuck. If you can swap the valves and the tractor starts going backwards, then you'll know for sure. Trouble is, I think you have to split a narrow frame to get the valves out. Some people have luck spraying penetrant on them and working them until they're free, but again, they're probably working on wide frames with removable tunnel cover.

If the linkage is free, try the 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.
