It certainly wouldn't hurt to dip the valves into some hydraulic fluid before installation.

I don't know if there is a Torque Specification. I have tightened them down with reasonable tightness and have not had an issue(s).

Just to note, The sealing is done by the "O" ring so they would actually seal and not leak just hand tightened.
But they could work loose, so as Roland says, reasonably tight.
a good guess is maybe 1/2 as tight as a spark plug.

So given that I'm using a half-inch drive, sounds like I certainly don't have to crank on it very much. Both were really tight, but that doesn't mean the new ones have to be set that way. Certainly wouldn't want them to work loose though and will check them after every time I use the tractor, at least for awhile.

I got the rebuilt manual valves from Mactech. I noticed that, with the one, when I press the button it only comes back up part way and the other one is very sluggish. Is that ok, or should they be more responsive and come all the way up?

That's probably just the drag of the "O"rings inside. They should pop right up with a little pressure behind them when you start the tractor.

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.
