Hydraulic control switch

[GreaseMnky85]

Hi everyone i just bought my first cub lo boy 185. Has anyone disassembled the switch? Mine seems to be frozen. I have ordered a can of Kroil but it will be a few days before I get it. In the mean time I have used Deep Creep by sea foam and PB. I put a bolt and washer on and still haven't been able to get it freed up. Seems to be a pretty nice tractor. I need a throttle cable for it and I had to adjust the clutch other than that pretty good shape for $600 I thought. Looking forward to learning more about these tractors.

If the switch you are talking about is the ignition switch, local auto parts store for a replacement, less than $5-.

Throttle cable, auto parts store or Case IH dealership.

Pick up an Operator's Manual, Parts Manual, and Service Manual. They are available from the advertisers on this board, "The Vine".

I'd wait for your can of Kroil to show up!! I had one a few years ago that I was certain I would have to take it apart. I soaked it with Kroil about one time every other day for about 2 weeks, giving it a try up/down each time I sprayed it. All of the sudden, she popped up one day when I pulled on it, and worked perfect. I'm not sure there's anything to take apart to disassemble one, as I believe the little valve assembly is sealed together. So, give the Kroil a shot before you go tearing into it!!
