Other than JD was the Sundstrand hydro used on other garden tractors? It would be interesting to look at how different manufacturers designed the linkage. I wonder if the JD linkage is more trouble free?

Did a little looking around. Simplicity uses the Sundstrand. In some cases they have a cable type linkage. I just did the trunnion rebuild on my 782 so I don't have to worry about it but it's interesting to see how different manufacturers address the same problem.

Food for thought: start with best... Improve it's weakness with strength of others ( manufacturing & engineering) & add in a hole lot of back woods "git-r-done "know how , what do you get??????

Just for listing purposes, I know that Cub Cadet, John Deere, Simplicity and Ransomes/Jacobsen for sure used this Sunstrand Hydro. We know how the Cubs look, and now have a pic of the Deere and Ransomes linkages.

I'm not disagreeing with this. It's the fact that if the swashplate outside linkage is worn on the pivot shaft, those parts are becoming expensive and obsolete. Yes, they can be repaired, and the springs are cheap. But the springs are just part of the problem. It's obvious that other manufacturers made different styles of linkages and I think it only smart to look at those options as a viable fix as parts for the Cubs become harder and harder, and more expensive, to find. Not everyone is able to repair their linkage and something simple to make, or parts off "other" machines that may work, IMHO, should be considered. Purists and collectors won't do this, and if I had a machine that I wanted "original" I wouldn't/ won't either. But, to some, this information is important. Remember after all, that's what this site is about! Keeping the older machines running! Even if it's not what you would do, there is nothing wrong with other styles of linkages. I'm done preaching now.

It's almost two years later and the hoses tie wrapped on each end of the springs are still doing their job. |

Thanks for the long term test update. I may just give that a shot on my 149.

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.
