Default Cub Cadet 149, rough going into gear
I have a 1972 cub 149 that has run flawlessly for 40 years lol. Lately when going into forward it seems to go in "hard". it doesn't slip and once moving it is smooth as silk. Is that a sign its going bad or some adjustment?

When was the last time you changed the oil and filter on the trans?

4 years but only 40-50 hours. I guess that's a place to start. Maybe some water contamination?

Have a look at the trunion before dumping the fluid overboard.

Got it. Thanks! You'd think they'd make the part a little tougher so it would last longer than 40 years. Lol

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.
