There is a lot of discussion about cleaning the trans with kerosene or using an additive like seafoam in the oil and fuel.
Is there a way to clean the inside of TC without doing an overhaul?

When you only have 9 horsepower you need to know the names of all of the ponies!

Re: Cleaning the TC - options?
Since it is essentially a closed system, it probably doesn't get very dirty. But, short of a total dismantling of the system, the only way that I'm aware of is to drain, flush and refill with hydraulic fluid several times. I wouldn't use any type of solvents in it.

Re: Cleaning the TC - options?
Just might want to check the filter in it, mine was mostly disintegrated and distributed throughout the tc... Had to rebuild.... Think I used carb cleaner to clean it then coated it back up with hydraulic fluid before I put it back together

Hi,
Below is a page from the Cub owner's manual, below paragraph 2 there is a note, IH said use only hydraulic fluid, nowadays Hy-Tran fluid.

Re: Cleaning the TC - options?
No, you have to remove the head (the part immediately in front of the instrument panel), which requires draining fluid, removing the block (and hood, hyd lines and control rod), then removing the head. At this point, you might be wise to go ahead and rebuild the block...an easy enough job, but requiring attention to detail. There is an excellent HOW TO post for this.
Ask for any assistance, and good luck!

Re: Cleaning the TC - options?
I was hoping there was something to try. Somehow I have 2 TC off of cubs one I know it does not work and one that does not pass the compressed air test. I guess I have the learn how to break down and rebuild the TC
