Cub Cadet 3000 Series, substitute PTO Solenoid/Valve?
I have several 3000 Series Tractors and one of them recently had the PTO Vacuum Solenoid go bad,
I swapped one from another tractor to confirm that the valve was bad. New from CC they cost about $80 and I will probably need more than one as I plan to keep using 3000 Series for a long time. I am hoping to find a substitute that is less expensive. I did a bunch of searching on Amazon/Ebay and found many that look like they will work, with some fabrication. I bought one and it should work, but I will need to make modifications to the wiring to use it. The CC OEM valve appears to have a GM style Weatherpack Connector. Has anyone found an inexpensive valve that will work with very little, or no modification? If so, please provide link/photos/part#s Thanks, Joel

Joel, I had one that wasn't working on a GT3100. I carefully took it apart and cleaned it. It worked fine after that. The little plunger in the last pic was sticking causing it not to pass the vacuum to the actuator.

Oak, Thanks for the info/photos.
I had considered trying to repair the OEM Valve, and pulled off the bottom cover, etc, but did not see a way to further disassemble without damaging the tabs that hold the "top cap" on. Were you able to disassemble yours without damage? If so, how? If not, how are you holding it together? Did you use any lube on reassembly? If so, what?

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.
