2186 - Trans Lost Power After Service
Hey guys,
I've been searching and reading up on this for days. I changed my fluid and filter in the 2186 at 195hrs. Didn't intend on doing the fluid, just filter, but that turned out to be a mess. Out of necessity I searched for an alternate fluid - the 6-7qts of Drive System Fluid Plus was gonna be over a hundred bucks to replace. I didn't have the money, so I went with Rotella 5w-40 Synthetic first, then when I had the problem I'm about to describe, I drained that and filled with 15w-40 Rotella, thinking the 5w was too thin. I'm using a Cub Cadet filter. That didn't help. The problem is that I've lost feeling in the pedal, and lost power when pulling up a hill or working the trans more than driving on level ground. I never noticed this before the fluid change. I almost have to floor it to get decent power going up hills. Reverse is not the same, it will spin tires if I floor it. I've adjusted linkages, lubed and cleaned everything. The easiest way to describe it is to say that I have to be much heavier into the pedal than I used to be. It feels like pressure is bleeding off. I've bled the system several times, fluid level is spot on. Is it possible that the seal behind the charge pump is causing this problem? I've read several posts about that, but I think their concern was NO power at all, not lack of power. It's really weird. I've still been using it to mow and work with, it's not so anemic that it won't work. I can still tool around the yard with it, haven't found a job yet that it wouldn't handle if I floored the fwd pedal. Since I know we all like pics, here's some of what I've been up to with it:

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.
