Cadet 80 hydro issue
I am a new user to the forum and a new owner of a well used Cub Cadet. I picked up the IH Cub Cadet 80 on Craigslist for a decent price knowing that it had some issues and that I would have to put some time and money into it.
After a new battery and basic tune up I have the B&S running, however when I let off the clutch and engage the hydrostatic transmission it make a terrible racket and the engine bogs down. I increased the engine RPM's and let out the clutch, the noise just gets louder and I still get no movement forward or reverse. I have confirmed that the hydrostatic fan is spinning when the belt is engaged, but I don't know much about this type of transmission. I figured the noise coming from the transmission wasn't normal and decided to turn the whole thing off. The hydrostatic fluid is full, in fact maybe too full for a "cold" transmission. I bought it as a cheaper alternative to a new machine and hope to spend less than a new one in order to get it running. Once I cross that threshold the wife wins the bet. Any help or guidance is appreciated, as well as any troubleshooting tips and tricks. The serial number is 0340021u024282* I apologize if the answer is in another thread that I just can't seem to locate. Thanks -Marshall

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.
