Exclamation Calling all hydro Cub experts!!

I have a really nice 123 that I pulled the rear end on tonight to do some work to the drive-shaft.

I noticed that when spinning the hydro input shaft by hand, there is a rough spot in one place. It's not hard to turn past this spot but I can feel it when i spin it. It's kind of like a rough spot in a bearing. Is that what I'm dealing with? Should I be concerned?

The hydro worked great I'm just wondering if I should continue to use it or swap it out for a different used one I have laying around? The other one turns smooth no rough spot.


Any advice would be appreciated as I plan to put back together tomorrow evening.

Do you notice any change if you move the trunnion while turning the input?

i just tried rotating the input shaft with trunnion in different positions and cannot feel a noticeable change.

i did notice the roughness is not just one spot its almost 1/4 around and the same spot every revolution.

feels to me like a bad bearing but not sure. when i bought the tractor the po gave a an almost empty jug of hytran and it had a pretty steady leak.

If the hydro was run dry at some point i imagine it could cause pretty quick damage? maybe i should swap to be safe?

It could be a bearing, the charge pump or the piston pump. If you have a better one I'd put that in unless you feel like opening up the one that you think may have an issue.

This is a thread I did on a pump and rear end you may want to take a look at to get an idea of what is involved should you wish to give it a shot.

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.
