I bought this 129 and I am having problems with it moving forward and backwards. What it does is move sometimes and not others. To get it to move, I have to move the handle forward and back all the way and pretty quickly then it seems to go with good force. Tonight I popped off the tunnel cover and expected to see the linkage not moving or something, but it moves perfectly with no binding or anything. The handle moves with no real tension like my others. Don't think it is the 2 valves because it is both a forward and reverse problem.
I purchased it for the rear agg tires and expected to sell it. To my surprise the 12hp engine is perfect running with no smoke and the fender bodywork is real nice. Any suggestions?? |

Standard answer we give about 100 times a year: Did you change the fluid and filter on the rear? Or at least check it?? If you didn't, start with that.

I did check the fluid level and all good. Not sure how to check the filter unless I replace it. Also no leaks of any fluids!!

It will probably take more effort than this but (just because it's cheap and easy) if the relief valves are the manual style, try grabbing the little tits on each one with some pliers and see if you can pull them up, maybe twist them when pulling up.
If that doesn't do it, you're back to changing the oil and filter... Just think, when you get this one working, you'll be looking for another pair of tires.

the trunion springs might have fallen out due to worn out parts, look back under the fenders and you'll be able to see it

I would change the fluid and filter before going any further.

You aren't going to sell this 129 once you get it fixed, you realize that already.....don't you? I'm with the rest, I believe it is your filter but you may still want to spray those relief valves with some PB Blaster and as Mark pointed out, make sure they are fully actuating.

Great points to check. I have some generic IH fluid and a filter in my basement. But I hate to say that I have to sell it. There isn't enough room to keep them all as much as I want to!! would like to keep it together rather than sell it off piecemeal. Just hope to get enough back for it

Make sure you use a Cub, NAPA or WIX filter. We have recently seen guys that have used engine oil filters and they don't flow so the tractors a no go. NAPA # is 1410 and WIX is 51410, don't remember the Cub # off the top of my head.

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.
