Default 1862 Foot Control

Foot Control Pedal on one of my 1862s.

1Foot Pedal.jpg

If the tractor wants to creep in neutral (brake pedal depressed), fix that problem prior to starting this project.

The hydro control cross shaft needs to come out. It’s much easier to get out if the handle is removed first. Plus the rivet holes are used to mount a bracket.

2 Cross shaft.jpg

Drill a ¼ inch hole as shown 1 inch above the existing hole on the other end of the cross shaft.

Cross shaft with bracket attached.

3 Cross shaft with bracket.jpg

Cross shaft re-installed. A grease fitting was added to help keep the original Hydro control linkage working smoothly. Less work for the return to neutral (RTN) spring to do.

4 Hydro Handel Extension Bracket.jpg

Outer bushing (1/2 inch bronze ID) for the foot pedal.

4a Outer Bushing for Foot Pedal.jpg

Inner bushing installed in the lift cylinder bracket.

4b Inner bushing.jpg

Pedal assembly.

4c Pedal.jpg

Collars position the pedal in the frame. The one on the right gets a bracket welded to it.

4d Foot pedal shaft.jpg

Pieces needed, less foot pedal.

5 Pieces used less Foot Pedal 100_1169.jpg

Inside collar with bracket welded on.

6 1862 EC_1300.jpg

Adjustable rod, transfers foot pedal motion to the cross shaft.

8 Hydro Lever Bracket and Adj Rod to Foot control bracket.jpg

Damper attached to bracket on foot pedal shaft.

9 Dampner 1862 EC _1302.jpg

Other end of the damper attached to the battery tray.

Cub Cadet 2185 RTN device and bracket.

11 2185 RTN and Bracket 100_1069.jpg

RTN bracket cut to fit under battery tray.

12 Neutral Bracket cut away 100_1147.jpg

Bracket attached to the left side of the tower, under the battery tray.

13 Neutral Bracket 100_1175.jpg

The opening for the hydro linkage to pass through the tower needs to be enlarged to clear the RTN heim joint. (Not necessary on my 1864.)

14 Clearancing Dash Panel 100_1132.jpg

RTN adjusting rod attached to the cross shaft. With the tractor in neutral (brake depressed) this rod should be adjusted so that the RTN is also in the neutral position as shown.

15 RTN adjustable link attached to cross shaft.jpg

Shows why the opening needed enlarged.

16 Hydrostat and RTN linkage.jpg

Ready to operate.

I have an 1864 I picked up last fall; I may try to figure out a way to change where the pedal assembly comes through the frame. Drilling a ¾ inch hole through the lift cylinder bracket is a pain.

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.
