Cub Cadet 1862 not moving
 

I'm working on a 1862 for a friend. This is the first Hydrostatic I've ever worked on. Owner states was running and moving last year, then a belt broke. Once the new belt was installed, it would not move forward or backwards. Owner had hydro fluid and filter changed with no luck. I finally got the mower cranked yesterday, but the shaft with the fan blades is not turning. Can someone please guide me on what to check and how to fix?

Thanks

The belt has nothing to do with the movement of the tractor. The drive shaft connection at the motor must be bad. Nothing else would explain this.

First, welcome to OCC......... :Welcome2:

The 1862 had three production runs. What is the Chassis Serial Number of the Tractor, so we know what version you are working on ??

:bigthink:

Model: 14D681100
Serial: 8D6625

Not a good number. Would that be 806625 ???

:bigthink:

Yes, it looked like a D , but I think it might be 806625

Here is the Parts Breakdown for the Drive Line.

I would be looking at items 12-15 in the diagram.

Ok. Thank you, I'll check it out and let ya know what I find

The shaft was striped on the engine end of the shaft, its been fixed, all hydraulics work now and the mower moves.

The ignition switch is bad, so I'm replacing it and no battery, I've been jumping it to crank it.

question: will a standard riding lawn mower battery work on the 1862

IF....the Battery needs replacing, then replace it with a Lawn & Garden Tractor Battery (U1) in the neighborhood of 300-400 CCA.
