Got all the parts ready, just terrified I’ll pull the wrong plug to fill with!


Thanks!

(I know this is probably very self explanatory, I have a feeling I’ve overthought this and got myself stuck in a mental cardboard box)

There's nothing wrong with asking questions, if there was, then there wouldn't be much point in this forum! We're here to help

The rear axles on the Cubs do not have a dedicated drain plug. In order to drain the transaxle you need to completely remove the rear plate on the back of the transmission case. You will most likely need a new gasket for the plate. Once fluid is drained, make sure the case is clean internally, and then bolt the cover and new gasket back up. There's a fill on top, fill it to the 'full' mark.

Don't forget about the filter, though! It's on the front of the transmission, underneath the frame. Pull it off with a filter wrench (some fluid will also come out so be careful of that) and replace it with a new filter. Be sure it is the CORRECT filter or fluid may not be able to flow through it. With the new filter installed, run the tractor for a few minutes to let the pump suck fluid into the filter, the level in the case will drop a bit. Add more fluid until the level is 'full' again, and you'll be good to go.
