Default Hydro adjust
On my 2284 the only way I can get reasonable reverse speed is to adjust cam pivot bracket way low. Service bulletin says flush with top of washer over the slot. It was already lower and would barely back up sometimes. After adjusting to get decent speed I adjusted connecting rod to neutral of rear and the dash. Now it has full forward speed with lever 2/3 the way up. Linkages and pins look great. The trunion looks too good. No wear as in maybe replaced? I went ahead and changed springs and buttons. Also 1 ball joint appears replaced. Any ideas as to
the odd adjustment or just run as is?

Also there are 2 holes for the linkage, which one is correct?

I would move it to the top hole in the cam plate, see if it makes a difference.

Thinking the same thing. It's cold by Southern standards and I had the heat on, so no raising the door up to run it tonight so I could re adjust.

So I spent the evening trying to get the right hand brake pedal unstuck--its still stuck. Wish I would have seen this before I put the fuel tank back in. Hot wrench would have helped.

Did I read you correctly that you stated that one of the ball joints appeared to have been replaced?

Just a thought... Is it possible that the connecting rod needs some adjustment?

I was thinking along the same lines, but with the entire linkage.

I adjusted that as well. Going to start fresh by moving the connecting rod to the other hole and see if that improves things. As it is I get full travel in forward but still not in reverse. Given some of the other things I have found on this machine, it may have been bolted together wrong at some point.

John, you're a member of Cub Cyclops. In the files section is a service bulletin about slow reverse on the Cyclops. The bulletin was provided to me by Lew.

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.
