Default Adjusting Hydro Creep

My son has a 149 and the tractor gets faster and faster as you drive unless you hold the hydro lever. Is there any way to adjust this? I remember my dad having an old MF 12 that did that.We adjusted that by the manual but never did stop it.We made a stop to keep the lever from moving.

sounds like it needs the trunion repaired.

On mine if i held the lever in one place it would still speed up like it had a mind of it's own and it was the trunion. on yours im not sure without seeing it.
Maybe it is just a speed adjustment.

Yeah, just sounds like you need to tighten up the adjuster a little. There is also a plastic bushing that may need replaced if the adjusting doesn't do the trick. A friend had to replace his after tightening the adjuster didn't work.

MY 149 did the same thing, it happened overnight, all of a sudden it would just run away. Checked the trunion and it looked good so I just tightened the adjuster on he bottom of the hydro lever. Its a small allen head cap screw. It works fine now. That and the neutral adjust are the two easiest and best things to do to your hydro.

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.
