3.5. If there is no drive at all, confirm whether the
problem lies in the hydro or elsewhere.
• With the engine running, confirm that the PTO
operates when it is turned-on. This confims that
the input shaft is turning.
• On smooth, firm, level ground, with the engine
turned-off and the parking brake released:
• Place the gear selector in high range and
attempt to push the tractor. It should not roll.
• Place the gear selector in low range and attempt
to push the tractor. It should not roll.
• If the tractor rolls, the problem is gear-related.
• Place the gear selector in neutral and attempt to
push the tractor. It should roll. If it does not, the
problem may be gear or brake related.
3.6. Check the fluid by removing the plug / fluid level
gauge on the back of the transmission. Check
the level, and compare the fluid to a sample of
Cub Cadet Hydraulic Transmission Fluid. Top-
up or replace the fluid as necessary.
See Figure 3.6.
