I've got a question about the hydro on my 147. When going from forward to reverse I can notice a slight thump and I have visually seen the pump moving forward and reverse respectively. Is this due to the pump being loose, and if so, how does one go about tightening it?

Thanks

You better take a look at the bolts that hold the rear in the frame. Even the cast iron rears get loose.

never thought of that... I thought it might be the cap screws that hold the pump to the rear end...

Would the bolts that hold the rear in the frame be those that are needed to be removed when the tractor is involved in a split? (I've got the service manual and I think I know which ones you are referring to)

thanks

I looked at my (cubs) rear end today; three of the 6 cap screws were loose. The one on the front of the rear end (the one that is centered between the 3 that are needed for a split) were the worst. The one on the left side (looking forward) was so loose I could take it out with fingers.

Never would have thought to look there. I figured I had bigger fish to fry. She works MUCH better now, very smooth.

I appreciate the tips on where to look. I'm thankful for this forum and the people on it. Thanks a lot!

I've got mine split at the moment on a 1250 waiting for parts...2 of the 6 bolts were "gone" (one on the right side pumpkin, one on the left side L bracket)...probably has been the case since before I bought it but I never noticed. maybe explains why the donuts are shot and the cooling fan has been nubs since I've owned it (will finally be replaced now that I understand things).

Should some type of "locktight" be used on the rebuild? And as long as I'm on the subject, why does that stuff cost so much?

Probably since there are not too many of the cub cadets left (except at Sam's and Allen's houses)!

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.
