I have a Cub Cadet model 3225 that has about 425 hours on it. I bought it new about 8 years ago and have been quite pleased with it.
Today, I was using it with my snowblower attachment and lost hydraulic power. First the hydro lift failed to actuate, and then soon I lost
power steering and then forward/reverse ability. I checked the transmission fluid level and found it low, but adding to fill (~4 oz) did not restore
operation.
As I was thinking about this, I found a broken spring right under the tractor - it's measures about 3/8" x 1 1/2" and is the color of brass. Looking in the parts manual, I can't find a sring that seems to be part of the transmission or hydraulic systems that matches this part. I can't believe the spring is not related to the problem, but I can't see where it might have come from. Can somone help?
