Hey guys I'm finally getting back with the reason for my slow travel speed and possible transmission problem. I got under the tractor and followed the forward reverse linkage all the way back to the input shaft to the trans. What I found where the lock bolt that connects the linkage to the input shaft there was a broken off 5/16" tap in it were the locking bolt should have been. I could hardly believe what I was seeing. A previous owner must have had similar issues with forward/reverse movement and tried to re-tap the threads on the lock collar to input shaft connection. I guest when the tap broke and he could not get it out he figured it was tight enough to work.
Anyway I took it to the local Cub dealer and had then pull it all apart and make sure the input shaft was not messed up beyond repair. They gave the tractor a good going over while it was in there and found some loose frame bolts as well. It works great now.
Boltboss I just got my block heat for my tractor yesterday. Do you remember which freeze plug you removed to install your heater in. Does it matter which one? I was thinking the center one one the starter side of the motor locks to be the easiest to get to.
Thanks
Steve
