Default Hydro lever on 782 won't move.
Hi all.

I'll be the first to say that my 782 has been run through the mill. It has been on the job since new and probably now has around 2500 hrs on the kt17s.

This machine has not done anything but run a tiller ( model 400 ) since 1994 and probably gets 200hrs annually. I had a mechanic that looked over this machine since it was new but he sadly passed away in 08 and virtually nothing was done since besides change oil.

I noticed this spring that the hydro lever was getting harder to use. Now I have to get it ready for jobs and it wont move hardly at all.
I took off the inspection plate and gave the mechanism a good tap and it moved into forward, but I dont want to hurt anything.

Could the linkage on the lever be wearing out or do I have another problem?

Thanks.
Mark

Try a simple fix first and spray some PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench on the moving parts to try to free up anything that might be seized from the elements. I did that to a 782 that had been staring back at the sun, moon and stars for quite a while and it really made a difference.

My 125 did the same thing, I had to tear the shift assembly apart to fix it..

Sounds like some lubrication is in order at the linkage.

Im hoping that lubrication is the culprit.

What baffled me was the three pt works and it does go very slow if I basically force the lever.

So Im in the mindset that the pump and drive are working, now i think I have to look at a binding issue or the aforementioned lubrication.

Do the little tie rod ends wear so much to put the whole thing out of wack?

Thanks for the lessons,

Wait, wait, wait......
Is the lever "stiff"? Or is it that you move the lever and nothing happens? If so, that is a completely different issue.

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.
