Hydro pump leak on 2182
Hello.
So after spending way too much time, I finally found the cause of the hydro leak on my tractor, it is from the shaft seal on the rear of the hydro pump. I have replacement seals (got one for the front also) along with a replacement gasket. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to prize apart the two halves of the casing. All bolts have been removed, but its steadfastly refuses to separate. Any ideas? Also wondering what I will find once I do manage to take apart. Am now wondering if I just take this to a repair facility and have them do the work. Love to hear your thoughts. |

You do not have to remove the pump and take it apart to replace those seals that you mention.

Really, that is amazing news. although I can't see how I would remove/replace the seals from outside the casing ?

Many times in the shop, if we had to just re&re a shaft seal, we would carefully drill a small hole in the seal then screw ina wood screw. Grab the wood screw with pliers and lever it out. Run a pencil magnet around inside the clear any debris. Do NOT blow it out with air, that may just blow metal back into the bearing.

Replaced seals and now..
So thanks as always to the members here, I managed to replace the seals without taking the case apart.
I had taken the pump off, but have now got all is back in place, refilled with fluid, only to find the wheels wont move at all! What could I have possibly done that has lead me here ? The good news is that finally I don't have a leak, but now it's not working. I took apart once before, and there was no issue. |

The standard first question is what hydro filter is installed. Automotive filters have check valves which may not allow fluid to pass. I use Cub Cadet filters. There is a list on here for other compatible filters.

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.
