Angry 127 Hydro Release Lever

Can anyone tell me which way the Hydro release flapper goes on a 127. I know the lever points down when not engaged. But does the curled end on the flapper go towards the front of the tractor or to the end of the tractor. I know somebody has probably ask this before.

Thanks
Glenn

First, welcome to OCC.....

The Hydro Release lever looks something like this image.

On the under side, the flapper is installed as to face the back of the tractor.

Put a piece of foam tape just above it to keep it from rattling.

Don't have one to look at right now but if I recall correctly the rounded side of the flapper will come down and depress the buttons on top of the release valves when you lift up on the lever.

Completely took the tank apart sandblasted it, patched the bung and soldered it back together. Red Coated it after it was finished.

You actually took the gas tank apart? Then soldered it back together..... and then put red coat in it?
If you can do that work, why would you need to put red coat in it? If it had a leak, just fix it.....
Even seen what red coat does when it flakes off? Nasty stuff.

it didn't leak i just want to keep it from rusting again. If you thin it with a stone and do a thin coat to keep it from rusting it wont peel. Most people get it on to thick and it peels. They don't let it dry long enough. By the time I put gas in it, it will be a year. 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.
