Default Confused about 1863 hydro fluid
I need to add fluid to my hydro-trans. I know this topic has been beat to death but I have read several threads about it and have not been able to understand what I can use. My owners manual says on page 43 to use 737-3025 http://www.messicks.com/partdetail/737-3025.aspx , and on page 35 that I can use a fluid that meets IH B-6 ( I have 5 gal of Coastal tractor fluid that meets IH B-6). I read several threads that state that the hydro-gear's use motor oil. I have motor oil. Should I use the IH B-6, motor oil or do I need to find or order 737-3025? I looked for the transaxle number and found model 618-3052 ser# 04019, It doesn't seem to show up at cub or hydro-gear.

Hy-Tran Ultra is top notch stuff. I had a Lesco ZTR with Hydro-Gear pumps (same brand that is on the 1863)and it took 20 or 30 wt motor oil. I would find a Case/IH dealer near you and buy 2 gallon jugs of Hy-Tran for about $16 to $18 a gallon and know that you are safe. I saw the Costal stuff at TSC and it says it meets the specs of Hytran but I passed on it. If you don't want to spend that kind of money on the IH oil you would probably be okay with the Coastal. I know a fella up in Pickins SC that uses that stuff and he doesn't have any problems with it.

Use the red IH Hytran fluid or the Cub Cadet brand fluid - I think you have a sunstrand hydro if I recall correctly. I have the 1811 same vintage and used standard hydro fluild - it worked ok but had more whine and when I changed back to Hytran it was quieter and ran better.

x2 on what they are saying...But, if you can't get a hold of Hy-Tran....Go to a JD dealer and get Hy-Guard. It is the same thing as Hy-Tran, and works as good as it, too!

The 1863 used a Hydro-Gear pump and not a Sunstrand. I have never used anything but Hytran but I was tempted when I serviced mine....maybe next time.

Ya got me thinking Vince!

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.
