Moving a Hydro when it's not running
How much can you push a hydro tractor around before damaging the transaxle? I have CC129 and the owners manual says to hold the relief lever up while moving it by hand. I have the lever but it don't seem to make any difference, up or not, in how the tractor moves. It moves easily with the brake off. Honestly there are times when just pushing it makes the most sense. Not looking at towing, just at those times where a good shove is easier than starting it and moving under it's own steam.
THX!

Take a look see at the top of the transmission where the valves are located.
A PO may have swapped out the manual valves for auto's Either that or you are missing the release plate that actuates the manuals when depressed via the lever.

First, welcome to OCC..........
 You can safely move a Cub Cadet Tractor with a Hydro Transmission. The early model had manual Relief Valves, that a lever needed to be lifted up to release internal pressure, before the move could be done. Later models, had automatic Relief Valves, where once the motor stopped, the internal pressure was released. Note, that a lot of the older manual Relief Valves were updated to the newer automatic type, regardless of tractor age. Either way, once the internal pressure was gone, one could move the tractor with out issue. Moving the tractor for a mile, at 25 MPH, would be a "no-no".

As far as "moving" a hydro, rule of the thumb is: at a toddler speed and about as far.
the " inners" of a hydro, are sort of like an egg, you can chase it around in a bowl and it still looks like an egg. but get rowdy with it, and 'yall have an omelet

I still keep these pictures of the old hydro pump off my 107. This is what can happen if you tow or roll your machine too fast. And this was a relatively tame failure, sometimes they break through the aluminum case!

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.
