We have a 1986 Cub Cadet Hydro 1210 that won't go forward!
If your 1986 Cub Cadet Hydro 1210 is experiencing difficulty moving forward but works fine in reverse even after changing the transmission filter and fluid, there could be a few potential reasons for this issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
1. **Check Drive Belt:** The drive belt is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the transmission. A worn or damaged drive belt can affect forward movement. Inspect the drive belt for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. If the belt is in poor condition, consider replacing it.
2. **Check Tension of Drive Belt:** Ensure that the drive belt is properly tensioned. A loose drive belt can lead to slipping and difficulty in forward movement. Adjust the tension according to the manufacturer's specifications.
3. **Inspect Linkage and Connections:** Examine the linkage and connections between the control lever, transmission, and the drive system. Loose or misaligned linkage can result in improper engagement of gears, affecting forward movement.
4. **Hydrostatic Transmission Issues:** Since your Cub Cadet Hydro 1210 uses a hydrostatic transmission, there could be issues with the hydrostatic unit itself. Check for any signs of leaks, damaged hoses, or worn components in the hydrostatic transmission system.
5. **Transmission Oil Level and Quality:** Ensure that the transmission oil level is correct and that you're using the recommended type of oil. Poor-quality or incorrect transmission oil can lead to performance issues.
6. **Air in the Hydraulic System:** If there's air trapped in the hydraulic system, it can cause issues with the hydrostatic transmission. Bleed the hydraulic system to remove any air bubbles.
7. **Transmission Pulley and Sheaves:** Check the transmission pulley and sheaves for wear or damage. If these components are not functioning properly, they can affect the movement of the drive belt.
8. **Check for Obstructions:** Inspect the underside of the mower deck and the drive system for any debris, obstructions, or objects that might be interfering with the forward movement.
9. **Professional Inspection:** If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it might be a more complex problem requiring the expertise of a professional technician. They can perform a more in-depth diagnosis of the hydrostatic transmission system and identify any underlying issues.
Keep in mind that working with mechanical and hydraulic systems requires knowledge and expertise. If you're not comfortable performing these checks and repairs yourself, it's recommended to consult a qualified technician who has experience with Cub Cadet or similar equipment.

Throttle adj on cub cadet pushmower
There is no variable throttle control for this model i.e there is no lever for engine throttle on the handle bar?
If yes, then engine speed is fixed and open throttle is normal.
The motion of the linkage is merely movement of the governor mechanism. Wide open is normal when engine is not running. The governor will close down the throttle as engine starts and reaches the fixed operating speed. There will be adjustments but on a fixed speed model only the running speed is considered adjustable.
