It looks like a great cub that was very well maintained. Even so, those valves can stick if the cub sit for a while. Lots of great advice here and great fellas. I'm glad you got a nice cub and deep down, I bet your uncle is, too.

Not sure just know it seems to. Unless i have had one hell of a chain of coincidence over the years!!

Brake fluid makes rubber seals and gaskets expand so more than likely your clutch pack sealing rings on the trans were affected by this or possibly the o rings on your solenoid valve if the bore was worn or something, both of which are a very temporary fix. I have never heard of mixing brake fluid to clean out things like valves but ATF in the oil for a bit yes. I'm going to look more into this, interesting to say the least

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.
