After inspecting the bypass valve, I attempted to mow the grass as a test run. The tractor is now pulling moderate grades just fine, and only stalls on the very steepest grades in my yard. All in all, I would say it's about a 75% improvement from where it was. I checked the fluid after mowing and pulling grades, and it was no longer frothy. So, at this point, I think that I must have run over a limb which pushed up against the disconnect tab and bent it to where it was constantly pressing on the bypass valve. The partially depressed bypass valve was likely doing just what it's supposed to, and let pressure bypass whenever I encountered a grade not allowing full power to the drive valves. I am also guessing this constant bypassing is what caused the fluid to get all frothed up as well. With it still being down on power from what I recall (it has been about two years since it ran correctly) I am guessing I either did some permanent damage to the transmission by running it partially disengaged for so long, or there is still just some air in the system that needs to work its way out. Even at what I am guessing is 75% power though, I have adequate power to mow and the tractor will now do everything I need it to. Thank you to everyone who contributed to help me solve this problem, and thank you ejl6658 for sharing the link to the transmission manual. That manual provided me the knowledge I needed about the system to really find out what was going on! |

Where can I see/find the pedal bushings you referenced. I also have the situation where reverse is very slow but when pulling up on the forward pedal reverse is much faster. Appears that I need to replace the bushings but didn't see part numbers on pedal diagrams. Thanks

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.
