.....sorry, I couldn't resist Marx bros. quotes on that Lew.

Like others have said, it sounds like a filter problem. Without the fluid changed out and the transmission reservoir cleaned out and re-filled with new fluid, you may have to change the filter a couple of times in order to fix the problem. If the fluid is really bad in there, then it may clog up several filters. I have known instances where guys had to change the filter up to 3 times to fix the same problem that you described when they didn't also change the hydrostatic fluid. However, you might get lucky and just change the filter this time around and it could work just fine. It is a calculated risk...

If this were my tractor, I would change the fluid and filter and wash the rear end out really well.

As someone said earlier, you can't tell what's in there until you pull the cover (it could be full of water, or mud). If you simply put a new filter on it you could suck up another big glob of crud out of the rear end and be right back where you are now, only $10.00 poorer.

I believe that finding a bad hydro is somewhat unlikely (not to say that there aren't ANY bad ones out there, because I'm sure there are), I have bought several Cub Cadet hydros over the years that one would think should go straight to the scrap yard, but honestly have never gotten a bad one yet.

I would also check the valves again, I have seen them where they look like they are all the way up but aren't.

I have also heard tell of people "bench testing" them with an electric drill before putting them back in, I'm sure this is possible but finding an electric drill with a 5/8" chuck might prove to be something of a problem.

I test them with a cordless drill. Drill won't run them for more than a minute or so. Made an adapter to connect to the pump. It has a nut on the end and I just chuck up a socket to the drill. As others have said clean it out. new fluid and filter first.

the fluid was bad looking (sort of) some small globs but not that bad.
the other thing that was the major one was the valves never really wanted to pop back up when they were pushed down ( I really didn't realize that )
soaking them in the hytran made that happen nicely.

It was nice to actually drive this one that was supposed to be a parts machine

just have to makeup a new wiring harness and then start using her and then get it ready for winter (predicting cold and snow ) so I am going to get some chains on and a plow

And wheel weights. Whether you decide on a snow thrower or blade, you do need weight over the rear tires to maximize traction.

Wheel weights work best since it's a rotating mass and isn't as hard on the bearings as weight on the tractor.

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.
