Coop is right, the hydro is pretty much bullet proof. You only pushed it a short distance, so not likely there is anything wrong with the hydro.

It sounds to me like your hydro is not in neutral while trying to start. It makes an awful squeal when you do this. Move the speed lever back and forth slowly while cranking the engine. At some point in the lever travel, you'll lose the squeal and the hydro will be in neutral. You may need to bypass the brake pedal safety switch. When the brake pedal is down, and the neutral is not properly adjusted, the tractor will try to move forward or backward while cranking, and will make a lot of noise.

I'm betting once you get it started, find neutral with the speed lever, the noise will go away.
Frank,

Yep...oil level is full, as is the hytran. I had notes to myself to make sure I didn't forget to do both. I'm encouraged - not to mention hopeful - by what you're saying. It does seem - as George suggested also - that it's almost like it's trying to start 'in gear'. Not sure what you mean though about 'bypassing the brake pedal safety switch' - done with some sort of wiring? Or are you saying to hold it in manually while also trying to start. Wait...I believe I'll need 3 hands

So...continue to crank away even if the noise continues as the shift lever is moved? I believe you're on the right track, since it fits with what I said earlier about there being less grinding / squealing noise if I only partially depress the brake pedal while trying to start. I think I've developed a phobia of any noise coming from this thing ever since the really loud bang when the rod broke...twas not a happy sound.

A "sheared roll pin" was also suggested to me on another Cub forum....possible?

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.
