129 hydro lever creeps back to "Neutral"
Hi Gang,
I am already grateful for your advice. Last week I adjusted a bunch of stuff, arrested a some nasty vibrations, and greased a bunch of dry linkage. My "new to me" '72 129 is a great machine. Our property is very hilly. The max hills are about 20 degrees and a lot of it is about 10 degrees. So I am very careful when mowing, and I put 100lbs of wheel weight on the rear to keep my C of G lower. Lately, when climbing up a hill, my lever moves from F back toward N. If I dont stabilize it with my left hand, I will often lose forward motion. I believe that the fluid and filter are good, and I am wondering if my lubrication of the undercarriage linkages has created this problem. The machine, in general, has tons of power and speed. (note: it's engine is a 1992) Is there a way to increase friction in the "F-N-R" linkage so that it stops creeping back to N? Or maybe I should take some degreaser and "dry out" a bit of the grease I added. I have consulted the Service Manual, but I cannot find my problem addressed. Cheers, -Christopher

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.
