MMurphy...I agree about not runnung the tractor till I can get some more definate conclusions about the problem. I did talk to the dealer when it first happened and his opinion was the same as mine about moisture in the system. Some brands are very sensitive about that. At a shop rate of $75 per hr. I thought I would get some other opinions. Maybe someone had had the same problem.... I even read about guys having Cub replace the tranny a couple of times and even buying the tractors back. I really like the tractor but have had a few other problems, more than a quality tractor should have. When I get it fixed this time I will try to replace it. Maybe even another Cub now they are Yanmar.

Well, the dealer came & picked up the tractor yesterday. Its their busy season so will probably be awhile before they can look at it. I'm anxious
to find out if it will be $500 or $5000 to fix it. A new hydro tranny at M&D
is $815.00 but it may not even be the tranny so I guess I'll have to wait for the diagnosis. I post it when I find out.

Good luck with that. It's hard to wait for news when you know that one the big end it could be very expensive. On the other hand, imagine how good you will feel if the solution is simple and inexpensive.
Hoping karma is on your side!

Up-date on my 5234de that quit moving. A little background first. About 2 years ago a hydro line wore through because of bad routing too close to the 3-point lever. Lost a lot of fluid before I noticed it. Put a new hose on, changed the fluid. Then this winter while plowing snow it quit moving.
Just heard from the dealer, a bearing has gone out and the metal pieces have made a mess of everything. $3,000.00 to fix it. I'm still making payments on the tractor so I really don't have much choice but to pay to have it fixed. Cub won't help. I contacted them when the hose wore through and saved the e-mails just in case but they still won't help. Only have 400 hours on it. The tractor is probably only worth $3000.oo but can't buy anything new for that price. My dealer is great, said he would knock off 3 hours on the labor. Be careful on buying a used 5000 series Cub.

Got a call my 5234de is ready. Grass is getting thick so will be glad to get it back. I just wanted everyone in Mid-Michigan to know what a great dealer Atherton Road Sales is. They knocked off 3 hours on the labor & did not charge me to pick-up & return my tractor. They felt bad about a tractor with only 400 hours having such a big problem & Cub not willing to help. They sell several other brands.
