This aftermarket vacuum actuator is a replacement part for compatible Cub Cadet and MTD garden tractors. It belongs to the machine’s vacuum-operated control system and uses vacuum pull to move the connected linkage as the original actuator did. Built to match OEM This actuator is made to match the original part’s fit and function so it installs in the same location and connects to the existing vacuum line and linkage. It is built as a faithful replacement with the same general mounting and operating layout required for the application. Installation Installation is typically a straightforward remove-and-replace job using basic hand tools. Disconnect the vacuum line and linkage from the old actuator, bolt this replacement in place, and reconnect the existing components without machine modifications. .product-description-v2 { font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d1d1d; line-height: 1.55; max-width: 720px; } .product-description-v2 > div { margin-bottom: 18px; } .product-description-v2 h3 { font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; color: #1d1d1d; margin: 0 0 8px; } .product-description-v2 p { margin: 0; font-size: 15px; } @media (max-width: 768px) { .product-description-v2 { font-size: 15px; } }
