Default Tough day on the lawn

Was mowing with the 2284. Hydro started getting squirrely. Then I lost reverse. And forward was pretty much wide open. Pulled the tunnel cover hoping somehow the cam bracket was out of adjustment. The only thing in the trunion space was the large spring.... sideways.

So I surgically removed the the new small spring and both end pin guides from 2182 I have been rehabing. They were vicious to get out. Had to have the wife to help. It was tough going. Many explicated were shouted to the heavens. Seems the plate damper is worn pretty bad on the 2284 where it rides the hydro pump shaft. It shifted and let it all come unglued. After almost 2 hours I was running again. To keep it together I had to devise a washer/spacer set up to keep the damper plate in place. I wound a length of baling wire between the plates. Hey, it got me running. While I was mowing I was making an immense parts list in my mind for what the rear end needs. I guess I'll have to pull the rear end to get new damper plate, new springs.& pin guides, and maybe cam control plate. Hopefully the Hydro pump shaft is OK.

Not the best start to the mowing season.

Yep, you must come from a farming background. Simply amazing what you can fix with a roll of wire when you have to. Duct tape and cable ties are tied for second! Your fix just might last until you have the other Cadet ready to go. Better head to the shop and get it ready!

Question. Is it possible to use snap ring plyers with right angle tips to remove the snap rings on the cam control plate and damper plate and remove them without dropping the entire rearend out? Just trying to form a plan of attack for the repair. Need it back in service pretty quick. All suggestions appreciated. It may be just as simple to pull the rearend.

Yup its pretty easy to do with the right snap rig pliers, I did both my 782s that way. Think I found the pliers at Napa

Looky looky what I found in the lawn this evening. I was walking along with the boy and just happened upon it. It's got a twin and small spring out there somewhere also. putting all new parts in it- when they get here that is.

Parts came in today! Was able to use my 90 degree snap ring plyers and things went rather smoothly. Got the cam bracket set back to neutral and the 2284 operates as if new! Even got the the front yard mowed before dark.

Well ain't that good news? All fixed and ready for the year. Now, "everything" is complete and you can enjoy the fruits of your labor... or?

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.
