The 125 in my garage needs your help
Hi all. New member that had a CC years ago and finally got another. It does run and cut, although it's now coming apart in the garage to address steering and hydro. I'm going to have a litany of questions in the long run, but looking through the earlier threads has been a great help in getting up to speed.
Probably no great surprise to everyone but the steering in really sloppy (it seems to be primarily in the column) and I'm now wrestling with trying to get the steering wheel off in order to pull the column. The speed control lever is pinned to the shaft with an allen wrench and is as sloppy as you can imagine. It also does the slowing up hill and running away down hill. I'm trying to get a handle on all the hydro adjustments and the trunion arm does have some wear. I am having a hard time understanding how you are expected to adjust the cam plate bracket when the two bolts are practically impossible to see, much less get a socket on. My first real question involves the release lever on the side of the tunnel. I understand that it is supposed to unlock the hydraulics so you can roll it, but with the lever in neutral the mower will roll anyway. From what I've read I'm guessing it's not supposed to. What should this be telling me? Sorry for not having pictures. I left the memory card in the camera at home.

Hello and welcome to OCC. I am new to Cubs also; got my 149 in Jan. You may have automatic hydro valves in your cub. It will roll if they are automatic. Manual valves will have a button in the center that the level pushes down to release them.

It looks like they do have the buttons, but I can't get a real good look until I get the frame split and pulled out enough to see.
It does seem to have the typical trunion arm wear problems, but again, can't get to it yet.

Welcome to OCC.
There is an adjustment for the "drag" on the forward/reverse lever under the dash (see your manual). That in itself will not cure your problems. As for the easy rolling thing... The only answer I can give you is, I have a 105 that is the same way and it does NOT have auto release valves. It has been that way since I've had it and never gives me any problems, except that the cork gasket leaks (and has since I've had it) don't know if that contributes to the easy rolling thing or not.

Thanks for the feedback. I did everything the manual said in order to split the frame last night but it didn't really act like the rear assy wanted to come free. I'm not sure whether to lift or just pull or what. Does it slide straight back or do you have to pivot the pieces 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.
