Default Towing a hydrostatic

In the case of a break down,what is the safest way to get your cub back to the garage or on a trailer without damaging the transmission? Some cubs have a bypass lever while my 1872 doesn't or does it?

The 1872 has automatic relief valves. No release lever needed. It's ok to tow them a small distance. Not made to tow for miles and miles. Also don't wanna break any speed records. Slow and steady which I know you'd do anyway if needed.

You are going to loose steering after a few turns anyway.

Thank you for taking a couple of minutes to pass on your knowledge guys. One day I'll read the manual so I can be an expert too. Or I'll just keep asking questions to obtain the info from the guys who have been there and done that.

It has auto valves so no lever. Yes you can tow it at slow speeds for a short distance. The reason for the RTFM thing is that you would learn a lot about how these things work and have a better understanding of them. Sorry if I came across as a smart A$$. If you prefer to just ask questions that's up to you.

Just an fyi. I did a SEARCH with towing being the reference and got 3 pages of posts... sometimes that is easier and quicker to find an answer rather than waiting on a reply to your new thread.

If you have manual steering there is no change in effort.
If power steering,anythime the engine is not running, your steering effort is greatly increased as the "pump" that is attached to the steering wheel is what is activating the steering/slave cylinder, advance or retract.

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.
