Default 2160 ags problems

New to the site and looking for some info
I bought a used 2160 and after cutting for a while the mower won't climb the slightest grades
after researching I guess the friction plates are worn
has anyone replaced these before and if so is it fairly easy
also where is a good site to buy these from
thanks for the help

Welcome to OCC!!

A 2165 has a hydrostatic transmission. No friction plates. I'm not sure what site you got that info from, but it is incorrect. I suggest a fluid and filter change. Best place to get cub cadet parts, is from http://www.cubcadetpartsnmore.com/ You will have to get your part numbers form either the Cub Cadet home page, or partstree.com as the site I linked to doesn't have you model numbers diagram. Just because I'm feeling nice to day, I'll save you some trouble. The filter you need is a 51410 Wix filter available from most auto parts stores. The fluid you need is a hydraulic transmission fluid, which can be purchased through CCC, or at most any place oil is sold. I suggest a tractor hydraulic transmission fluid if your not going to use the Cub Cadet suggested Hy-Tran. (I'm not going any deeper into fluids as that is a touchy subject here.)

I'm also going to suggest you remove the fenders and clean up the machine. Lots of PO's (previous owners) don't take good care of their cubs allowing grass to build up on the hydro. A hydrostatic transmission is air cooled and this dirt buildup makes it run hot. Which will also weaken it. Clean it up good so it runs cool, do a fluid and filter change, and if that doesn't fix it come back and we'll help some more.

Here on OCC, we like pics so if you have a chance post one of your machine!

....... yeah. That model is the "slip clutch" trans. Don't waste your time tearing it down, unless your really, really, good at things with lots of parts. Or like spending money on a lost cause. I suggest selling it and looking for another one. Or get a hold of one of the sponsors and see if anyone has a used trans. Not saying it can't be fixed..... I'm saying it (the trans) wasn't worth much new. Those things suck.

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.
