Default 2135 - A couple questions

I’m working on a 2135 for my aunt, and have a few questions.

First, it’s low on hydro fluid. What kind do these use and how much?

Second, it is missing the linkage from the choke cable to the carburetor. Anyone have a picture of this? I assume it is just a simple linkage and I can make one, but I want to be sure. The red in the first picture shows where it should go, the circles in the second and third pictures show the where it connects to the card and the cable

I’m also planning on changing the engine oil and filter, sharpen the blades, and grease everything. Anything else I should do or look at while I have it here?

Thanks Sam, that exactly what I needed. Do you remember how much trans fluid it took?

The 2000's take 6 QTs. Buy 2 Gal's then you have enough for the trans and the engine.

Another question. It needs an idler pulley on the deck. I have one that I bought a while ago for my 1320 and it was wrong. It is about 0.5” bigger than the original one. Besides probably needing a longer belt, could it cause any issues if I use this, or should I just get the correct one?

Get the proper one or replace the bearing in your old one. You can drill out the spot welds, replace the bearing then bolt it back together.

'And to answer your question, you can prolly use the larger Dia. idler
depending on how the belt wraps around it.
If it just leans against the belt, the tension spring will compensate for the slight increase.
if the belt wraps around 1/2-3/4 of the diameter, it might not work.
I'd for sure try it, no harm no foul.
I'd still rebuild yours if possible as a spare if it can be rebuilt.
I have seen some that the outer bearing race is part of the idler, in that case
a new bearing is not going to work as it wouldn't fit.

George, I got it apart, the bearing is replaceable. I’m going to get one for it tomorrow and put the old one back together.

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.
