Question about hydrostatic transmission
So I've spent the last few weeks getting accustomed to my 147. I have noticed that if I set the hydro to a certain speed on level ground, it will slow down a bit going uphill, and speed up some going downhill. At real slow ground speeds (less than 1mph) it may actually stop when going up a grade and I need to push forward on the lever.
Is this normal or a sign of a worn-out transmission? I rode my buddy's 1986 Wheel Horse 520-h and it maintains a constant speed regardless of whether you are going uphill, downhill, etc, but I know that uses a different brand of hydro unit as well. This is what me question the operation of my 147. Thanks

A hydro on a Cub isn't like a cruse controll, it is more like a hydraulic cillinder.
If you try to pick up more weight with a hydraulic cillinder you need to push the lever a little further. Same with a Hydro Cub, pulling more weight or going uphill requires more power. If you are on flat ground and your speed changes by itself, then you need to look here http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/showthread.php?t=43 http://cubfaq.com/hydrolurch.html http://cubfaq.com/trunionrepair.html

hydro slip
Sam is totally correct
Yes I'm sure there is wear in the hydro, everything wears, but it is normal to have to add a little throttle going up hill and it will coast a little faster going down hill. That is just how that style of hydro works. it is inherant to a axial piston pump/motor If you would like to learn more, go here: http://www.cushmantrackster.com/pay-pdfs/sundstrand.pdf it is an old service manual with some really good explainations/pictures of how it works.

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.
