Hydrostatic pump durability discussion
Next project: Kohler command 20 swapping a 129! (maybe)
It’s very rare to hear about a hydro pump giving out on any IH cub, and they don’t seem to wear out on a 16 horse either. I’ve done research on v twin swaps and found everything it needs to work right (flywheel driveshaft adapter, heavier driveshaft, mounting plate, etc) but i’m curious to hear everybody’s experiences with hydro pumps. I would use it to pull a trailer on my property with many hills, and a 3 speed climbs the hills too fast in 1st and creeper gearboxes are hard to find for a reasonable price, so the hydrostat will have to do. So do please tell your stories with hydrostatics, and keep in mind this is just an idea of mine that hasn’t been taken seriously (yet)

The Sundstrand Hydro is rated for 25HP. It is relatively bullet proof. I have towed a 3/4 Ton 4x4 Pickup with almost no issue (loss of traction).

I use the 125 and the 1862 to haul some heavy loads quite often. Mostly
trailer loaded with fire wood. Winter, summer, chained up. Never had a hint of trouble. Never tried to tow the pickup though.  Ken

Main thing is not to overheat them, and use the proper fluid and filter in them. I've heard only a small percentage of failed units from either J**n D***e or Cub Cadet units. I'm sure neglect and abuse played a role in their demises.
Like the rest of the machine, they were overbuilt and last for decades.

I have a plan for the overheating issues, the fan on the driveshaft isn’t very efficient so i’ll wire 2 12 volt fans to the ignition switch and put them beside the driveshaft. If it’s stupid and it works, it ain’t stupid lol

I think the driveshaft fan worked fine, and was reliable. The problem was/is that very few people cleaned the fins of dirt and debris on the hydro unit, so they didn't stay cooled effectively.

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.
