Cool New Kid From Pennsylvannia

Hello everyone.I am 16 and live in a little town called Chicora. I just got into Cub Cadets about a month or two ago.( please excuse me if I go I to to much detail). I wanted a tractor of my own and and so I looked on Craigslist and found a 1939 Farmall F-12, but the motor was froze up. So I was talking about this to my girlfriend and her parents because they have 2 Cubs. And so I got one of them. It's a Cub Cadet 680 Hydro, which I understand is the same as the IH 1210. If anybody has anything they know, all knowledge is appreciated. Model No. is 144680100. One question, on a hydro cub, does the transmission have to warm up before using the tractor? My was acting up the other day. Moving the lever and nothing happened, and then it would jump and move a few inches.

Kris welcome to site. Your 680 hydro is the same thing as my 1282. They are great tractors. I would start by changing the fluid and filter on the hydro unit. If you post your question in the ccc mtd built section you will get a better responce to your question, there are plenty of great people here that will help you figure it out. Glad to see a young man interested in tractors. With your excitment your list will surely grow. You don't live to far from me I'm in Sharpsville PA. Welcome and good luck, Junior

Welcome Kris!!!!!!
The hydros I own do the same thing you describe.
I would say that it is normal.
I think the hydro needs to build pressure before it will go.
I am not an expert on hydro lawn tractors.
Maybe others here will have more info.

Kris:

First, Welcome to our Forum

All of my Hydros do require a bit of a "warm up" time. Usually about 15-20 seconds. Not long.

As suggested, I would change the Hydro Fluid and Hydro Filter.

Welcome Kris,

I also do not live to far from you or juniors. I am located in new Wilmington PA. It is good to see so many local people on here giving advise and help when needed with problems . I think you will find this is the best place around to get any answers or just shooting the breeze with other cubbers.

Thank you for the staring help and all the welcomes you guys. All i know about the trans fluid is that it smells alittle burnt and has a high viscosity. I let my tractor warm up enough that when i use it, it should be fine. I'll try changing the filter and trans fluid.

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.
