Default 129 hydro

I bought a 129 a couple of weeks ago. I bought it non running. I have not messed with it too much yet. The question I have is it does not have the hydro release lever on the side like my 125 does. But we were able to push it and it was rolling free. Do you think the hydro is bad or the check valves stuck

It's probably got the automatic valves. Once the tractor sits for a few minutes after shutdown, you can just simply push it without fooling with a lever.

Here's a pic of the auto vs the manual:

I pulled the tunnel cover off this morning and it looks like it has the manual valves. The tunnel cover does not even have a hole for the release lever on the side. but it has a slot on top for a creeper shifter

Then your tractor has the wrong tunnel cover. A 129 shouldn't have a tunnel cover with a slot for a creeper.

Also, are the buttons on the top of the valves stuck down.

If so, that is why it pushes easily.

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.
