Unhappy 149 Creeps when starting

This doesn't happen when engine is cold. If it has been running and then when I try to start again it sounds like the hydro in engaged and machine tries to move forward when the starter spins? What is the fix? randteed@gmail.com

Red face What next??

I followed instructions and I could not get wheels to stop spinning ran out of room in the "u". What should I try now? There is also a lot of play in hydro lever and it seems like there is limited speed in reverse.

sounds like your linkages are worn. It happens. Only solution is to replace them or weld up and grind down to specs the worn pieces.

Default Here is video of Linkage

Here is a little video of the linkage movement. Perhaps this will help in giving me direction. The action looks pretty sloppy but I'm not sure what it should look like. Also the little spring that is in the back part of the linkage was dislodged. I put where it looked like it should go but it doesn't seem to do much. Any suggestions appreciated. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2Jvf4d8-5g

I am not sure this will help you, but I can tell you what I did with my 1650. It had limited movement in reverse, though it didn't try to move in neutral. First, I tried the neutral adjustment, thinking that driving the cam plate down would give me more reverse movement of the trunnion arm. It did that, but the tractor then tried to go in reverse in neutral, so that didn't help at all. I readjusted it back to the neutral position. I observed that the brake rod limited the articulating plate from moving, so I lengthened that so that the brake rod pin never bottoms out in the cam slot. I also lengthened the control rod from the dash lever so it would push the articulating plate more. The combination of lengthening the control rod and the brake rod gave me plenty of power in reverse. Problem solved. Also, make sure your control lever on the dash has sufficient resistance so that the hydro doesn't move it as it will try to do. I'm sure I haven't used the proper terms for the control linkages, hopefully it's descriptive enough for you to figure out.

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.
