3204 Slipping/Surging Issues
Hey everyone,
I am new to this forum and new to Cubs. I just got 2003 3204 from the Original Owner. The only problem with the tractor is that when you press the on the forward pedal the tractor jerks/surges forward and then will run smooth for awhile, then jerks again. This is much more noticeable when going uphill. Sometimes the engine will even start to stall out. My first thoughts were that it was something with the transmission, because the tractor will start and idle with no problems at all. I checked the filter and oil for the transmission and everything looks good there (which is what i expected, the owner said it was changed in the fall and hasn't been used since) After browsing on here I saw some info on adjusting the neutral control solved similar but not exact issues for others, everything there seemed fine as well. While I had the rear end jacked up I tried to duplicate the problem. But I was able to run smoothly in both forward and reverse with no issues at all. Another thing I noticed is that with the wheel weights now off the tractor jerks/surges/slips much more frequently. I am hoping someone here has some other ideas on the cause of the problem. Thanks for any insight you might have!

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.
