Milky rear end fluid
I've seen on other posts of 2182's where people crack open the rear end and have milky oil coming out. Was there evidence of this on the dipstick or when draining the oil from the pump drain?

Both maybe.
If you are unsure of the condition of your rear end fluid just change it and the filter. It's cheap insurance and then you will know.

I would except I have a rear pto so it's a bit more involved than just removing the back plate. So I wondered if when you drain it through the drain plug, it shows it being milky. If it comes out looking ok from the drain plug, then can I assume it doesn't need to be opened from the rear end?

milky means it has water moisture in it.
Pulling the drain for a half second will tell you if there is water (milky or actual water will come out first). If only fluid comes out then put drain plug back in quick. |

Ok, that's what I thought. I saw somewhere else that the wheel bearings/axles can condensate and hold moisture in them and most people drill holes to let the fluid drain back out. Do the axles need to be removed to get the moisture out of those or will the oil just drain back into the reservoir without the drain holes?

It will not drain, thus the need for the holes. If it would drain without them, why would there be a need to drill them??
The axles have to be removed to drill the holes. |

If you drain it through the plug and it's milky you could always fill it with cheap fluid and run it till it's hot and drain it again, if you drain it while it's still hot you should get most of it out. Then you can install a new filter and good fluid.

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.
