Default My Awesome 1864 Cub Cadet!

Hey all -
This has probably been addressed before - if so I'm sorry for the duplication.

On my A-1864 (A is for Awesome!), I'm wondering, how does one move this tractor of it dies out in the middle of the back lawn -200 feet away from the garage? There doesn't appear to be a lever to pull to release the hydrostatic drive? I'm told that if you move these in neutral you can still destroy the transmission, and then I'm told by others that you [U]can[U] move this tractor for short distances without any adverse effect?

So which is it?

By the way, mine is running Awesomely. I only wish I had more lawn to mow.

Thanks for reading!
Matt

God Bless the USA.

Matt, it has the auto release valves so you can pull it but don't pull it too far or too fast as either can burn the pump up.

I to love my 1864!

Default Release valve for hydrostatic drive?

Hey Duke -

Thanks for the reply.

I've looked in the owner's manual, and on my 1864, and I cannot locate a relief valve. The owner's manual states that the relief valve is only on the 1863 model, which I've come to understand, is identical to the 1864 but without power steering.

So if you have or know about something else I should be looking for, any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Matt

Matt, the 1863 uses a different hydro pump and has a release rod for the relief valves. Your machine has a Sunstrand hydro with the auto type valves.

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.
