Default My first Cub, an 1863
Yesterday a friend of mine gave me an 1863 he bought new in 1995. It has not been used in a couple of years but it did crank and drive on and off the trailer. I cannot find a part number for the broken transmission lever, unless it is part of the cross shaft assembly. Also all my other hydrostatic tractors have a way to disengage the transmission, I cannot find one on this. The way you see it on the trailer is the way I picked it up except for the vise grips clamped on the transmission rod in the drive shaft tunnel he was using to drive it.

Congrats on your 1863! I have a 1864 and love it! They have auto release valves.

Parts look up for the hydro handle.

Welcome to OCC!!

Looks like your 1863 needs a similar "update" to the update I did on my 1861!!



My daughter mows her place weekly with this one!! A short drive through the woods!!

Sounds like just minor issues. A little work and it can be looking and run like new.

Methos, the part that is broken is the rod that bolts onto the cross shaft #3 and that #4 and #5 screw onto. Though that rod bolts on it may not be a separate part. The third picture shows the broken rod that I have since removed. Thanks for the reply.

Cadplans. that does look a lot cooler than the plastic hood and side panels.

Very common issue. It was only riveted from the factory. The red in the pic. If you have the handle it can be bolted, welded or simply replaced. You will need to remove the dash to get at it. Kind of a PITA but not all that hard.

Yes the 2 red marks were small hex head bolts on mine. I was able to remove them after taking the battery out. I don't have the rod but if my friend can find it I could weld it back together. Thanks

The 1863 uses a Hydro-Gear brand pump and it should have a release lever on the rear left corner of the tunnel cover. Here is a pic of mine and if you look close you can see the round knob.

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.
