1650 Cub Cadet Hydrostatic Transmission Issues

[Paul Lauria]

Thank you. Did you think my trunion repair is sufficient from looking at the pictures. I really really appreciate the help

We're waiting for a reply from David S., but to me your Trunion repair looks good. I am wondering if you replaced the 2 springs and buttons. The springs will loose tension over time and the buttons do wear which can cause erratic operation.

Yes all of that hardware is new and has been replaced. I appreciate your time on this

Looks OK.
But I would like to have seen the 4 inside corners a bit more square.

Well I cleaned everything up and lightly oiled the washers etc. It is still not smooth. Any handle adjustment while moving causes the tractor to jerk.

Something is not right then and is binding somewhere.

It’s very frustrating. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Could the cam plate hole be worn out? There is no sliding where I put the shim washers but I can wiggle the plate from top a lot
