ok, i am new to this and am going to look at a 1650 to buy. I see posts about trunion repairs and iso mount fixes, the one im looking at has just had the iso mounts replaced but i dont know if he put in the braces or not. where exactly is the trunion at and why do the corners get beat out? Im a machinist and a welder so the fix if need be is not a problem.

Hi The trunnion is a plate assembly that retained damping springs on the upper most left side of the hydro. Usually you have to take some portion of the seet and or maybe tunnel cover off to see it. What happens is over time the plate gets worn from the springs and spring seats and does not operate as well as when new. Repairing this area can make the function of the hydro preform more as it should.

I just did a quick "Casbohm" style trunnion fix on the 127 spare hydro. I guess I am lazy I just:
-file down the burs on the plate near the springs,
-cut a small sliver of steel about 1/8 x 1/8 x 1.5 long.
-clamp it in position on top of the worn plate pushing gently against the springs to realign them.
- tack the steel into place with the MIG.
- clean up and spatter.
-should be good to go for a long time.
I will try to get a picture.
Regards,
Chris

I, too, am going to attempt a trunion repair on a 1450.

I have a different question.

Does the damper plate also need the repair weld!!??

I have not found any mention of weld repairing the damper plate, but, mine shows wear in the lower portion of the slot.

I have not yet started this, I have the fenders off, everything pressure washed.

Do I need to split the tractor, or is it easy enough to get the damper plate off while the transmission is in the tractor?

I do have 90 degree snap ring pliers.

Also I found this image elsewhere



Would it be a good idea to make this shape out of 1/8" stainless steel and weld it to the top of the trunion as a repair?

I may also figure out the slot dimensions in the damper plate and add an additional 1/8" stainless steel slot thickness to the damper plate while I have it apart.

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.
