1650 Hydro Leak
Seem to have a slow leak from the tube that connects the top to the bottom on the front of the hydro. The nut is tight. Is this common? Does the entire tube need replaced? Thanks for tips!! Oh, one other thing. The hydro cooling fan blades are broken off. How important is this? Was thinking about using a 12vdc fan instead of the small plastic fan. Thoughts? Thanks!

Clean the area good w/some solvent or the like and dry.
Then douse the area with some baby powder or talc and wait The fluid track in the powder will lead you straight to the leak. More than likely it will be the cork gasket between the pump and the housing. Not a fun job to replace.

Replace it.
And while you are in there do a good housekeeping job while you are at it and check all the rag joints and coupler pins for looseness and distortion A clean hydro with functioning fan is a happy hydro!!

Depends on what you are doing with the GT.
If it is a play tractor, the fan is not necessary. If you are working it like cutting grass in hot weather or using a moldboard, you should have the fan assisting cooling and don't junk it up with a electric fan cobble job. just get the correct fan and while you have the driveshaft out, replace the badly worn couplings & associated parts on both ends of the shaft. Then it will be good for another 40+years. As far as the hyd leak if it is truly leaking at the tube nut, prolly have to replace the tube as the tight turn on one of those tubes prevents re flaring of the tube. 3/8" hydraulic /fuel line tubing from auto supply works well. you can reuse the old nut and bushing. Do check that the mounting bolts between the frame and rear axle housing are tight and intact also the front ones behind the hydro that hold the front of the rear axle housing to the frame Also make sure your leak is really the tubing nuts and not the 2 relief/dump valves, just above the tubing connections. The cleaning and baby power as mentioned, works well for tracking/finding any leak.

A long whiles ago, I kept pissing off thinking my hydro tube was leaking when in fact the leak was the cork gasket at one time and the relief valves another. So I agree with the others.... look higher up to be sure.
Don't you have a tunnel cover on your 1650 you can remove to observe looking down?

I cleaned everything well, and have been watching it for a couple of weeks. The relief valves are dry. The drip does it appear only from the bottom fitting on that tube. All other surfaces are dry. Thanks again for all of the help!

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.
