From the pic you posted, travel left about 10" and look for this thing,

No where does it say anything about U-bolts.
It does say,They have a "U" in the top and bottom.

Your missing the do-hickie flapper that's supposed to be attached to that rod that goes through the tunnel cover that pushes down/releases the pressure on the relief valves.

Thanks Charlie, is by chance is the "do-hickie flapper" available from Cub Cadet Specialties?

I'll check for the "U's" tomorrow or the next day.

I would say even without looking that the "do-hickie flappers" are available at no less than 4 of our sponsors.

I tellya what guys and gals.
Sponsor websites are not only good to buy from, BUT, they are great to just look around or call to see what all they have. You just never know what you might need one day and say, Hey! I saw that on this or that website.

I hope who ever sells that do-hickie flapper (Hydro Release Lever ) also sells them the IH Hydro Release Lever Roll Coiled Spring Pin also.


I just answered an email explaining there are errors in parts look up drawings. for some reason all the parts are not included in the drawings.All the hydro pumps we have on our Cubs use the same pump until the supers. I think then the change was the sleeved main shaft and a lower gear ratio because of bigger tires( output shaft also has a different spline count). I think the hydro pumps are all the same for the non supers. I feel better now lol.


Morning Denny !

So the "do-hickie flapper" has something to do with the "thingamabob"?

Guys,

I do browse the sites that post pictures of parts, its just that sometimes I don't know what I'm looking at or realize that I would ever need one.

Anyway, I'm glad Don identified the necessary part as a "Hydro Release Lever." Now would someone care to tell me when and how to use it? Again, unless I missed it, I didn't notice its use called out in the manual.

It is used to release the hydraulic pressure on your manual release hydro valves so you can move the tractor ( push by hand).

Jeremiah: Ya have to read page 15 of the Operator's Manual, under the header of Release Lever (shown in Illus #7)
