Default 1650 Hydro Leak

Ok Guys, I fixed the starter issue with my 1650, now I want to tackle a hydro leak. At this point I have removed the frame cover and seat\fender unit. Looking at the hydro, the left and right trunion seals look dry, where I see the fluid is right at the very bottom of the hydro unit where it joins with the transmission. I cleaned everything up, and torqued down the bolts on the front of the hydro unit (some were ever so slightly loose).

Question - does this sound like the "cork gasket" that I hear folks talking about. If so, how hard is it to replace? Does anyone have instructions? With pictures????

If this is a difficult task, does anyone have any experience with this Lucas Product?

That does sound like the cork gasket. It's a fairly simple job, although you will have to split the tractor. Take out the rearend, remove the pump, clean
the gasket surfaces and install a new gasket.

That 'stop leak' crap isn't a solution to the problem. Do it right as I described above. The manual will show you how to remove/reinstall the pump.

Matt,

When you perform this repair, do you have to drain the hytran fluid from the tractor?

It would probably be a good idea. If you haven't changed it the whole time you've owned the tractor, it probably needs it anyway. I think I may have done one without draining it, but it made a mess because it slowly drained out the breather when I tipped it up on end to unbolt the pump. If you did recently change it, use a clean drain pan and put it back in when you're done.

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.
