Can't find Neutral on Cub 105 *UPDATE IN OP * First thank you for the acceptance onto the site. I recently acquired a 2 for the price of 1 deal on a Cub 1200 and a Cub 105. Both are in great shape. The 105 pulled onto the trailer without a problem and was set in neutral. I started the 105 up and it ran great, but ran out of fuel. Upon fueling it up, I tried to put it back into neutral, but I could not get it in. I called the guy back, and he said " yeah it's tricky to find. " The labels are not on the lever. When I looked it up, I managed to find where neutral should be, but it won't go in. This is a Hydro. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks ** Update ** I did not know that the tractor would not move while in neutral (thanks for the help ). Thank god I was smart enough to use a floor jack to move the rear end into the driveway. I managed to get a battery that was on sale at Sears. The tractor starts and gears shift fine ( forward and reverse ). Now I have another problem. The tractor dies out after about 30 seconds of running on high. Pretty sure its a carb problem, as it will only start on full choke, and will not stay running at all after about 30 seconds, on full choke or no choke.

First, welcome to OCC. The 105 is a hydra-static drive while the 1200 is a gear drive. The 105 is controlled by a Lever on the dash. If the Hydro Linkage is out of adjustment, the neutral maybe in a different position. You may have to try several locations to actually find neutral. There is a section in the Service Manual for making just such adjustments. You can go to our Technical Library section and look for the Service Manual for the 1x4/5 series tractors. __________________ Roland Bedell CC Models: 100, 105, 129, 1450, & 784 Buy: Made in the USA

I'll take a look at the linkage tomorrow. It says I have to adjust the brake pedal first so I will give it a shot. I need a battery for it first. I'll post a couple of pics of them when I get a chance.

Are you looking for neutral so you can roll it without running the engine? The hydro's don't work like that, you need to disengage the check valves with the release lever, which will allow you to roll it with some effort. The neutral position on the hydro speed lever is only a position between forward and reverse.

The release lever is on the right hand side of the tunnel. When it's depressed it reduces the rolling resistance a bit, but it's still pretty tough to roll. Make sure not to tow it, even with the lever down, because you can damage the pump pretty quickly. Rolling it by hand a little ways will be ok. If you press the lever down and there's no noticeable change, your flapper may have broken off. If that's the case, Jack it up and put a couple moving dollies under the rear wheels. Then you can move it somewhere convenient to work on it. __________________ Ian Mine: 72 w/ k301, 3 125's, 1 w/ hydro lift, 38,42, & 2 48 decks, 2 42 front blades, QA-36a & QA-42a thrower, tiller, lo-boy 154.

Go to the Technical Library Section and D/L the 1x4/5 Series Owner/Operator's Manual. On Page 6 - illustration #6 shows the Release Lever. __________________ Roland Bedell CC Models: 100, 105, 129, 1450, & 784 Buy: Made in the USA

The guys are right about the hand lever only being a place between forward and reverse, but it won't "roll" there with the engine not running. If you truly can't find neutral with the engine running then it may need to be adjusted (or more than adjusted). Unless you think you really think you need to adjust your brakes, you don't have to to that first. You might only need to do THIS. __________________ More IH Cub Cadet Parts RIGHT HERE

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.
