Changed the hydro fluid today. It was pretty nasty, I don't feel a difference after the change but I'm glad I have some nice clean oil in there. I still have some speed surge (lurch?) Unfortunately I know what the problem is (trunnion bracket) after only a few days of browsing on this forum.
I am not really wanting to split the tractor to get at that piece of metal. I sort of got a peek at it today, it's got some side to side slop when I touch the spring. It just feels loose overall, I can't really get my head in there far enough to see if there are notches. Anyhoo, still happy with the tractor... I like projects.
I am still having problems with it shutting down when hot. Per the advice of a few on here I think a new coil, new points, and a Kirk pointsaver (eliminate condenser) will be a good starting point. I can see this will be a happy little money pit already.

I got a new gasket and filter for the hydro from my local shop. They had these pretty little 'O's' inside the parts department!!

Found some crud, not too bad I guess compared to some pics I've seen.

I'm amazed by the condition of these 48 year old parts.

Honestly the biggest PITA was cleaning old gasket gunk, otherwise a pretty easy job.

All clean!

I took a can of carb cleaner and got the gunk off the pump right quick. Pretty impressed actually! It was nasty, I should have taken a 'before' pic, it was worse than the rest of the tunnel you see here.

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.
