Hydro control parts swap; old Cubs saving new
First off, I'm not sure where this belongs so I'll post it here and let the mods decide.
 A little backstory I've been doing a bit of work on a 2284 lately and along the way, I found that I had some trunnion work that needed to be done. However, it was not to the plate that goes into the hydro like is the case more often than not. This time, it was the plate that runs perpendicular to it. It had the typical notches/groves worn into, really messing with my speed control. Since I don't have regular access to a welder, I decided to search for a plan "B" while I find someone who can weld. I had a parts 147 laying around, so the thought crossed my mind to check it's hydro parts out for a swap. After checking partstree.com to compare part numbers, I found that the plate in question has the same part number on a 147 as it does on a 2284. How is that for a good design; all those years and the same control parts!!  The Tear Down/Parts Swap & Problem So, without wasting time, I grabbed the plate off the 147, cleaned it up, threw a coat of paint on it, and installed it on the 2284. I fired it up and moved the hydro lever. Lo and behold, the tractor started moving, but...I couldn't get past about 1 mph. Hmm... I looked at the linkages and quickly discovered the problem. It turns out, there had been a small design change throughout the the years. In the pics below, you can see on the left hand side, the part has gone from "pointy" on the 147, to rounded on the 2284. Resolution/Final Product This was nothing short of a simple fix. I locked the part in the vice, grabbed my angle grinder, and rounded the corner out. Once I did this, I put things back together and lo and behold, it started moving good as new. Below are a few pics of the part as is/where you need to round out (lined in red), as well as the part installed with a red line to show where the part was hitting, the problem area. So, for anyone out there, don't be afraid to scavenge your old machines for hydro parts; from what I can tell, they have largely remained unchanged from the first hydros up to the Cyclops Supers. Good luck guys, and happy Cubbing

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.
