Default 1450 Hydro issue
The 1450 and tiller I brought home does have some issues with the hydro unit. One of the valves is leaking and the hand control won't budge. The brake pedal moves up and down freely without any type of pressure and falls to the foot rest. I've taken off the tiller to check fluid levels and cleaning. What would cause the hand control to be stuck?

My 169 had sat for a couple decades and the friction disc had rusted to the parts around it. I pulled those apart and put it back together after oiling the other joints in the linkage and it's great now. I have to keep it a little tighter than I'd like so the control doesn't vibrate forward and run away, but it works pretty well now.

I want to say I've heard that you shouldn't get oil or grease on that friction disc; does anyone know if that's true?

If the brake pedal falls and stays down the return spring is broken and missing and also did you try to move the hand control with the brake pedal up? if the brake pedal is down the hand control will not move as pushing the brake returns the hydro to neutral. Just something to check if you haven't. Also possible as Jon stated that the linkage is rusted fast.

Farmall Fred........You called it. The return spring is missing. I thought of that while at work today. Raised up the pedal and the hand control works as it should. Now its "spring" finding time.

A 169... I'm jealous. I have a 129, next on the list to revive after the 1200 that I am neck deep into.....

My neighbor asked me to haul it to the scrapyard. It has several implements with it, and I figured someone out there might be able to fix it up and use it, and that person ended up being me after I found an old friend to help me out with it. It's sure a beast of a machine, though I probably rarely if ever use those last few hp on top. I'd like to get a gear drive Cub to go with it, but they're few and far between out here in Utah. And I probably ought to get the one I have in better shape first, she's a little battle-worn...

put that one with my 129, and they "average out" working perfect... my 129 is way-extremely sloppy, when I did get it running it was so sloppy that I couldn't get the linkage to move far enough to get reverse gear.....

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.
