TC Acting up

[CoachP]

Gentlemen,

I just acquired a Cub a few weeks ago, so I guess I'm a new member of the "Cub family." The tractor has been rebuilt and it starts and runs great. I purchased a Woods 42 belly mower to use to knock down some tall brush in the back of my yard. After mounting the mower and connecting everything, I started the tractor and raised the mower deck, when I did, the deck seems to "jump" every second or so when I set it at the desired height.

I've read several threads on this forum about the hydraulics and the TC, so...I checked the TC fluid level and added some (it was a little low). I used some 1209 compliant hydraulic fluid I got at TSC (didn't drain the entire thing, just topped it off) left the filler plug loose, disconnected the mower deck from the rockshaft arm as I worked the TC lever back and forth 10-12 times (attempting to "bleed" the system of air). I reconnected the mower deck and had the same "jumping" result.

I should say that the hydraulics work/move smoothly when I move the TC lever quickly; however, if I move the lever slowly, it tends to be "jerky" in its movement, even without the mower deck attached.

I'm looking for suggestions/solutions. Anyone else experience this symptom? Any insight/help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

go to the Quick links at top of page, then PDF manuals, then Service Manuals, then Blue Ribbon manuals, and finally select the GSS 1024 Touch Control manual. Look through the trouble shooting section for hiccuping.

Thanks, I'll give the manuals a look and see what I find.
