Default Hydro lever adjust on cyclopse
blowing snow this morning with { new to me equipment} 451 blower and 1864 ... hydro wants to head right back to neutral, when moving forward, I have attempted to tighten the cross shaft, but it seems I get nowhere' the lever just seems slopy etc. Trunion looks to be in decent shape , little or no wear. Have I missed something. On the older tractors they show tightening the lever to 8 pounds of pull using a fish scale. My 1812 is adjusted for plowing , tilling etc. set the hydro and forget it. I really want the same on this guy too. advice and thoughts welcome. thank you

You need to tighten the nut that puts pressure on the friction disk. It's on the left side as your sitting on the tractor kind of behind the dash panel.

that's the nut I have tightened . it seems to do nothing...I have taken 5-6 revolutions and no better.

The nut seems to get tight but lever is still sloppy,

Wondering if my dished washers are wore out?


To replace the dished washers do you have to remove the plastic dash???

If you need to replace the bell washers or the friction disk you'll need to remove the plastic dash and that is a PITA job. Do you have a copy of the service manual for the Cyclops? If you need one send me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll send it to you. It's a 12 MB PDF.

See if you can get a Stover nut on there to replace the original one.

That's the nut, try tightening it some more. Maybe someone had it loosened.

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.
