Cub Cadet 1864 steering cylinder leak and whining noise
I have a Cub Cadet 1864 that I just got for $600. I believe it is a 95 model. It does have 1070 hours on it but starts right up and runs and mows great. Obviously with that many hours, it has some wear but for the most part it is pretty solid. Only thing that I have noticed is the hydraulics up front seem to have a noticeable whine. Under load when turning the steering wheel and/or lifting the mower deck it is louder but then gets less noticeable when not doing those two things. The hydrostatic drive seems solid and it has no hesitation with forward and reverse. It operates as it should. The hydrostatic fluid looks clean but I have no idea when the last time the filter was changed. It does seem to have some air bubbles on the rear dipstick after I run it but does not appear to be milky or excessively foamy. The only leak I can find is on the steering cylinder. It is leaking out the end where the piston comes out of it closest to the front tire. It is a definite leak and not seeping. My question is this, since that cylinder is leaking, could it be drawing air back into the system causing the pump to whine? I will replace the hydrostatic drive filter and fluid. What fluid should I use? Also, how do I go about getting the cylinder repaired or do I have to replace it. I am learning as I go so all help is appreciated. Thanks.

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.
