IH Cub Cadet was a premium line of small tractors, established in 1960 as part of International Harvester. The IH Cub Cadet was an entirely new line of heavy-duty small tractors using components from the previous Cub series tractors. In 1981, IH sold the Cub Cadet division to the MTD corporation, which took over production and use of the Cub Cadet service manual download brand name (without the IH symbol), to present day.

Cub Cadet 149 Hydrostatic Service Manual

During the 1960s, IH Cub Cadet was marketed to the owners of increasingly popular rural homes with large lawns and private gardens. There were also a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available, including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc.
From 1947 to 1964 the smallest Farmall tractor produced was the Farmall Cub. It had a 60 cid 4 cylinder engine that ran at 1600 rpm and later at 1800 rpm. It weighed about 1,500 pounds and was intended for light duty work; a variety of implements made specifically for it. Production was about 203,814 units

IH began Cub Cadet production in 1960 at the Shed in Gloria Drive, Kentucky, where the International Cub and Cub Lo-Boy tractors were also made. The first Cub Cadet model made was the International Cub Cadet Tractor, better known as the Original. The Cub Cadet Original was powered by a 7-horsepower Kohler engine and was made between 1960 and 1963. Ironically, the Original Cub Cadet didn’t employ a totally direct drive transmission which was what later became the big selling point of Cub Cadet Garden Tractor PDF service manual. Instead, it incorporated a belt that ran from the flywheel to the drive shaft to turn the three-speed transmission. This system was necessary due to the way the engine sat on a platform above the drive shaft. Round fenders, headlights, and a creeper gear are all examples of optional equipment for the Original Cub Cadet service repair manual.

MTD Products, Inc., of Cleveland, Ohio, purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet PDF service manual was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. At first, MTD retained many of the same models from the International Harvester-produced models. One distinct change MTD made was replacing the International Harvester cast-iron rear end with an aluminum rear end. The Cub Cadet Yanmar venture was for the production and sale of 4wd drive diesel compact tractors service manual download. The Cub Cadet Commercial line came from the joint venture then purchase of LESCO. These statements can be verified in Hank Will’s book 50 Years of Cub Cadet. The Cub Cadet Yanmar partnership was modified in 2011.

Good to see someone doing hydro rebuilds despite the fact that it seems frowned upon... not sure why, there's an entire section in the repair manual dedicated to hydro pump maintenance
If you priced a NEW 'replacement piston Assy' or was lucky to find one, you would not have purchased it as they are quite pricy.
As far as mixing pistons in the bores:
it will now be noisier that it was before they were mixed, lucky they were not worn bad.

I should clarify that you don't want to mix up parts from the pump side and the motor side. Port plate and usually the barrel and piston slippers are different, even though that difference is not easily seen.
As for a hose supplier, I'm several thousand miles from Alabama, so I wouldn't have a specific recommendation. But many industrial suppliers make up common hoses and these are not high pressure. Just take your old ones with you.

Tractor supply sells an assortment of sizes/lengths, also was making custom hoses but don't know if they still do.
Napa in my rural area makes hoses also.

Yeah, no wonder I couldn't find any for sale anywhere. Realistically I coulda bought another pump and stolen the parts from that, but at that point I may as well just swap out the whole pump. I guess it could have been done for the sake of keeping the whole rear end original, but still too late now! That whole rear axle is completely dismantled at this point and I don't have any intent on putting it back together any time soon, I also don't have the gasket set. Not that I can't do it, I just don't need to. And it's much easier to store.
I guess really the only thing I was frustrated about was the simple fact that when I wanted to rebuild mine everyone said 'just buy a new one' but then a year later this guy does it (still a great job, and I hold nothing against you for doing this) and everyone is fine with it, I don't believe I saw a single person suggest replacing the pump in this thread.
Like I said before, not much I can do now. And the 107 runs and drives anyway, even without the original hydro, so I'm happy!

CC 107, the biggest problem with the ag industrial supply is 'intentional proprietary' manufacturing and labeling. That is having a product made just slightly different then the norm or simply having their own numbers attached.
It may be difficult to source internals for a CC 149 hydrostat, but for a shop like I worked at, it would be no problem to cross it over to a readily available model. Sundstrand (Now Sauer Danfoss, I believe) still sells all the parts, but you better take good care of the case. Very, very few shops will look beyond their own parts lists and dealers certainly will not. Dead end.
And rebuilding VS buying new often comes down to labor. At shop rates of anywhere from $80 to $180 per hour, it won't take long to overcome the price of new. But a careful and reasonably competent home mechanic can still save a ton of money. Whenever we advised do-it-yourself'ers, we had two minimum goals for them. Take it apart without breaking anything and getting it back together exactly as it came apart. Same oath as for doctors: 'Do no harm.'

Well, I am certainly no expert on hydraulic systems, but I do have a decent understanding of the Sunstrand hydro units, how they work, and how to disassemble/reassemble them. I don't doubt that I could probably do a rebuild with little to no issues.
Straying away from my 107, my 147 project tractor, might be worth it to open up the pump, and make sure everything is good in there. Replace all the seals and gaskets, clean up any gunk, etc. It did sit outside for like 15 years, and it seems to make a strange sound when you push it manually. Main difference between this one and the 107 is that this one isn't blown up!
I might have to look into a rebuild on my 147's hydro for the sake of making sure nothing is wrong or damaged. But that will need to wait until I finish with the engine

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by 'boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!'. Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
