LTX1050 Hydrogear
I bought an LTX1050 at an auction the other day. Looked like I got a good deal till I was making third lap around the yard. Hydrostatic drive started making noises and slowed down till it wouldn't even move. I have done research and checked for possible external problems. Decided to change oil in it. Couldn't believe there is no drain plug. I ended up using a 2 cycle oil syringe to get all that black burned up yuk out of it and replaced it with new (Castrol 20W50). Purged it and checked it out again. No improvement at all.
I am going to try purge again today. Does anyone know if you are supposed to tighten the fill plug before purge cycle or leave it a little loose to let air out? Anyways, I see there are a lot of peeps who have faced this problem. Most posts I've read only talk about the problem and I can't find a lot of follow up as to what resolutions have occurred. Wondering if I would be better off trying to find a suitable replacement. Looks like my LT1024 transmission is basically the same thing with different axle/wheel mounting. But, it works and mows well and I don't want to tear into it just to get my new mower working. I'm experienced and have rebuilt more than just a few water and hydraulic pumps in my day. Hydrostatics are a little different animal, so I'm leery about tearing into it prematurely. What are guys doing about this whole issue? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

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.
