1711 Hydro Maintenance
Well, the weather has finally turned comfortable enough that I can get out and do some needed maintenance on the 1711 hydro. I have needed a new fan for a few months and just recently I have noticed the hydro suddenly surge forward when normally it would have a consistent pull and only change speed when the hydro handle was moved. I knew that the hydro cam plates probably had some slop at the pivot pins and the trunion springs were probably week. On the plus side, upon inspection, the trunion had absolutely no wear, so no welding was needed, but as mentioned above all the other issues were present. I removed the plates, steel wheeled them down to bare metal and primed and painted them. There was around 3/16" gap in the big spring of the trunion. I found a washer that fit perfectly and removed all free movement of the spring. The trunion cam plate had back and forth slack from wear. I had some shims left over from a prior QL trunion fix and ended up using all of them, (8) to be specific to remove all the side to side slop of the plate. It now centers up over the springs perfectly. I should have it all back together tomorrow and it should be good for another decade or two.
 Back home from getting the tranny and frame washed off at the carwash  Nice and clean hydro, it was pretty nasty, sorry no before pics   Pretty new fan installed too  Nice and clean again  Plates cleaned and painted   Looking kinda sad  Trunion not worn or welded on.

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.
