Default 105 Split and Service

For supposedly being the cornerstone of my Cub collection, the 105 was always the last to be used in rotation or get any service. It always maintained its' spot in the back of the shed although it has become an inadvertant shelf for various items on more than one occasion while dozens of other Cubs have come and gone over the past 5-6 years. The older boy has been properly riding me about getting it out of it's hole and 'doing to it what you did to the 125 last summer' (split and service hydro).

With one week left before school starts, we dug into it Friday, and had the trunnion welded and all back together by supper tonight. Pretty much a text-book split and trunnion repair; it was a bad speed-lurcher from day one and leaked Hytran from the cork gasket bad enough to warrant a drip pan under it at all times when it was parked/stored. A new machined trunnion end, cork gasket, springs and end caps, and Hytran and filter plus replaced the original worn-out dowel pin. Didn't even make a colossal mess this time!

Everything cleaned up well, and as of tonight, not a single drop of Hytran on the floor! Popped the top cover plate off the rear end and refilled with Hytran the easy way. Was able to start the tractor and watch the pump suck down the fluid level and prime itself. Always amazed at how clean things are in the rear housing and how well built these tractors are. Mowed with it for a good hour after supper and it feels great!



Another MAJOR to-do checked off the list! Next up- hydro relief valves on the 982...

Thanks for the pics of how the split goes for the narrow frame hydro. Good to see what I might be in for with my 123 if it doesn't end up moving after I fill it with hytran since I just picked it up. And like everyone else said, wow, that drive pin was just about to give up. Good timing!

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.
