Default 2185

Hi all It's been awhile. Have had to move back to Maine. All the projects I had going in Tenn. are now gone. I have picked up cheap (free) 2185. This maybe a dumb question, but can the hydros on these, be ported for external hydraulics?

The 2185 had three (3) production runs. All three used a Hydro Gear Transmission. I have no knowledge that the Hydro Gear offered any type of option of an auxiliary circuit.

Go to the Hydro-Gear site and download the manual , that should correctly answer your questions

According to the 2185 Service Manual, the hydro in the 2185 is a HydroGear BDU-10.
According to the service manual for the HydroGear BDU-10,
and option for auxiliary circuits would be the BDU-21 hydro.
So at minimum, you would have to change the hydro.

I'm just going to toss this out as a "Maybe", I'm thinking you may be able to cross breed your hydro with one out of a 1641. The 1641 has aux hydraulics. This is the back side of a 1641 hydro.

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.
