Hydro adjustment
I've been asking how to adjust the hydrostatic friction for a while now, and I'm appreciative on everyone being patient and answering my questions thus far. Even though I
 it still wasn't making sense to me.I wasn't happy with the way the hydrostat worked. (on my 147). It was jerky (non smooth) when decelerating and it annoyed. It also wouldn't hold when hauling something heavy like towing a log across the yard. I knew I needed to tighten the friction nut but didn't know how to get in there. Someone suggested a crows foot wrench (which I didn't have) then I needed one the right size (which no one seemed to carry or they wanted a lot of $$$$$$$$$ for it.) I located the correct size (Thanks Lew!) at a tool shop for a Lew price and set to working on it. Once I got the battery out, it wasn't terribly difficult to get in there and work, but I noticed that there was a pin under the nut that is worn and loose. Not much I can do about that I reckon' unless I remove the tower and replace it (?). I was able to tighten the friction nut, and it does drive better, but some of the jerkyness is still there. I'm thinking it's because of that worn pin & corresponding shafts. Thanks all for helping me figure out how to fix it. Asking a lot of questions going into the project & getting solid "BTDT" answers made the project go smoothly and made the mechanic feel more confident.

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.
