Product Recall Number: 04-512

Why was Cub Cadet Series 7000 Compact Tractors recalled?

The tractor's high/low shift lever could pop out of gear into neutral during operation on steep slopes with attachments, such as a back-hoe or front-end loader installed. This could result in the machine "free-wheeling" until the brake is applied or the transmission is re- engaged, posing a risk of the operator losing control of the tractor.
