Default 1864 hydro fluid change

I'm going to change the hydro fluid in my new to me 1864. It's not necessarily dirty, it just hasn't been changed for a long time. I'm new to cub cadets and have basic mechanical knowledge and I have some questions. First of all, should it be drained warmed up or cold? What type of fluid should I use? How much of it do I need? Should I fill it back up through the dipstick tube and lastly do i have to bleed air out and how? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am sure you will get more informed responses soon, but in the meantime....

I use any hydraulic fluid with Hy-Trans spec listed on the label. Works for me. Others will insist you use CC branded fluid.

Be sure to change the filter. I use Wix 51410 filters from Amazon, but NAPA has the same filter (#1410), possibly cheaper.

I'd drain it hot.
Fill through the filler tube.

I use Hy-Tran on most of my tractors. If I am working on a tractor, I use the fluid from TSC that is made to B6 specs. Like Rex stated, drain it hot. Fill through the filler tube under the seat.

One trick I learned was to get a small tube and run it down in the fill tube. Just down enough to clear the tube, you do not want it to be down so far that it touches the oil. This will keep the oil from burping up in the tube while you are pouring the oil. Very small, a 4mm poly air line works great.

No need for the tube down the dip stick tube trick, later Cyclops like the 1864 have a case vent to the right of the dip stick tube. They fill reasonably fast compared to the non vented cases. For the older tractors I put a vent in them while I have the rear cover off and the fender pan off. Just drill and tap the case through the unused boss for the rear PTO, then I put a hose barb in and some tube with a fuel filter.

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.
