Of the 5 cyclops tractors i have used, not one had a sticky valve.


Try this... loosen the bolts that hold the valve to the dash, then give it a go. Sounds crazy, but it actually works.

Not sure why, maybe too much stress on the aluminum valve body?

I experienced this when stacking the valves. Tightened them too tight.

I had a sticky valve happen on a 782 I used to own. It was stuck in one position or the other and when my wife went to use it, said she could not adjust the deck height. I saw the problem immediately and recentered the other lever. After the mowing was done, I took another look at it, and by moving the lever through its range several times it freed up. I figured it was just due to not enough use.

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.
