There wasnt a male fitting coming out my tank, there was a female fitting thats part of the tank. The male fitting was part of the old piece i removed. Ill show it in a picture later.

Ok thanks i couldnt find that size anywhere else. I knew the ply didnt impact height, I was just writing what they listed. Ive seen some of the offbrands in 2 ply.

Then i will get a mesh cover.

Thanks, I know some of my questions are basic but this little tractor is new to me. This forum and members have very helpful so far and I really do appreciate it.

Heres a pic of the sediment bowl and fitting that i removed. I just need a shorter 1/8 nipple without the hex.

Looks fine to me. I wouldn't change anything.

Yer wanting a "close" nipple,
but the one the one you have looks good.

I agree. Looks fine. I wouldn't change it. Only gain maybe 1/8" closer to the tank with a close nipple.

Ok thanks, I will leave it as is. Sometimes i get too hung up on the little things. Ill have the rear fenders off tonight. I printed off the appropriate chapter on the hydro from the resource section on this site. Even bound it so its extra handy lol. Thanks!

First pics of pump and underneath. One of they relief valves is stuck? Im going to read some before I continue splitting it. Will be able to pressure wash thus weekend. I will start it afterwards to see if I can spot the leak before taking any more apart lol

Correct me I am wrong but yes there was. IH made solid and vented clutch covers. Unless you meant just the hydros?

Also nnero the fuel shutoff you removed from the tank was from a 1x8/1x9 model tank.

Send your release valves here to get rebuilt.

Thanks for the link and info on the tank! The manual doesn't say anything about the "tunnel" cover that's over the the front of the hydro pump and goes under the steering column/dash. I don't see how to adjust the speed control cam and get everything unhooked. It doesn't look all accesible from underneath. Thanks

You are correct Alvy. The solid covers came on the tractors and the dealers replaced them with the vented ones when the cubs were brought in to be serviced. Unfortunately, many of the dealers just chucked the solid ones away.

nnero.....Looks like you are going at this the right way. Address one issue at a time, kind of like what you was taught in science class by only changing one variable at a time and measuring the effect of that change. Before getting too much into that trunion repair, spray some PB Blaster on the relief valve and try to get it all Pillsbury and stuff (that's fancy terminology for popped out)! See how things work for you then. Make sure that it is moving with ease with your finger before starting your cub. If you don't, that cub can take off in a hurry on you in either forward or reverse and you could be hurt!!! Might be a good idea to use jack stands on the rear end and chock the front tires before starting and determining if the relief valve is freed up properly. Safety first. The leak is probably due to your gasket. Keep up the good work!
