Default How to tow a Cub ?
So.... Cub is dead as a doornail at the bottom of a hill. Is there no way to tow this thing without the engine running? I am a few beers away from plopping a FOR SALE sign on it and saying good riddance.

Narrow frame Cub 125 with Hydro.

Tie it to something (another tractor, 4 wheeler etc.) have someone sit on it to steer and hold the dump valve on the right side of the tunnel. Tow it slow.

X2 to what J mech said. Best scenario for towing a hydro is don't. Second best is slow and hold the hydro dump for sure.

Move the lever back and hold it in place with the small flip angle hold down.

And if that silver lever offers no resistance, the sheetmetal tangs inside are broken...like mine was. Meaning, the hydro will not release.

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.
