Introduction 1 Professional Shop manual intent This Shop Manual is intended to provide service dealers with an introduction to the mechanical aspects of the 700 series tractor. • Detailed service information about the engine will be provided by the engine manufacturer, in most cases. Disclaimer: The information contained in this shop manual is correct at the time of writing. Both the product and the information about the product are subject to change without notice. About the text format: NOTE: is used to point-out information that is relevant to the procedure, but does not fit as a step in the procedure. Bullet points: indicate sub-steps or points. Disclaimer: This Professional Shop Manual is intended for use by trained, professional technicians. • Common sense in operation and safety is assumed. • In no event shall MTD or Cub Cadet be liable for poor text interpretation, or poor execution of the procedures described in the text. • If the person using this manual is uncomfortable with any procedures they encounter, they should seek the help of a qualified technician or Cub Cadet Technical Support. Fasteners • Most of the fasteners used on the tractor are sized in fractional inches. Some are metric. For this reason, wrench sizes are frequently identified in the text, and measurements are given in U.S. and metric scales. • If a fastener has a locking feature that has worn, replace the fastener or apply a small amount of releas- able threadlocking compound such as Loctite® 242 (blue). • Some fasteners like cotter pins are single-use items that are not to be reused. Other fasteners such as lock washers, retaining rings, and internal cotter pins (hairpin clips) may be reused if they do not show signs of wear or damage. This manual leaves that decision to the judgement of the technician. ! DANGER Danger indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situations Warning indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death of serious injury. ! WARNING Caution is used to point out potential danger to the technician, operator, bystanders, or sur- rounding property. !

700 Series Lawn Tractor 2 Assembly Torque specifications may be noted in the part of the text that covers assembly, they may also be summarized in tables along with special instructions regarding locking or lubrication. Whichever method is more appropriate will be used. In many cases, both will be used so that the manual is handy as a quick-reference guide as well as a step-by- step procedure guide that does not require the user to hunt for information. The level of assembly instructions provided will be determined by the complexity and of reassembly, and by the potential for unsafe conditions to arise from mistakes made in assembly. Some instructions may refer to other parts of the manual for subsidiary procedures. This avoids repeating the same procedure two or three times in the manual. Description of the 700 series 1. Description: A new step-through rider platform was introduced for the ‘05 mowing season. It was designated as the 700 series rider. It is seen across many of the MTD brands and private labels. There are also several hood configurations.The serial number and date codes are the keys to obtaining proper parts and service information. Since that date, several drive systems have been used on this series. 2. Variations: Drive Systems The 700 series is currently available with three basic drive systems. The 700 refers to the 5th through 7th characters of the model number found under the seat. • 13AN772 G000 is a “770” series - 7 speed shift-on-the-go transmission NOTE: There is also a 760 series with a 6 speed shift-on-the-go transmission • 13WX78K S011 is a “780” series - autodrive variable speed CVT tractor • 13AR791 G790 is a “790” series - Hydrostatic drive tractor The 760-770 series is a shift-on-the-go system that uses a simple forward/neutral/reverse transaxle driven by two belts in a variable speed pulley. A dash mounted speed range control (sets speed of rider). A foot operated brake on the left side of the rider engages the drive when it is released. The 780 series uses a Autodrive system with the same transmission as the 770 series. The 780, like the 770, has the brake pedal on the left side of the tractor. A drive pedal on the right side of the tractor controls a variable-speed pulley (CVT) system that controls the ground speed of the tractor. The 790 series uses a hydrostatic transaxle. A pedal on the left side of the tractor operates the brake/clutch pedal while the ground speed and direction of the tractor is controlled by a fender mounted hand control lever.
