I just googled this and found this mechanic talking about your problem.

(The Service Monitor meter contains a service minder function that
utilizes the 4-digit LCD display. The letters "CHG" will display
followed by the letters "OIL" and then followed by the meter
accumulated time. "CHG"/"OIL"/TIME will alternate on the display for
five(5) minutes after the meter reaches 50 hours. The display will
also flash as described above for five(5) minutes every time the
tractor has been started during the maintenance time interval. The
interval will occur every 50 hours and will be in effect for two(2)
hours ( Example: this feature will display from 50-52 hrs., 100-102
hrs., 150-152 hrs etc...). While the LCD is displaying the
"CHG"/"OIL"/TIME letters, the red LED "oil symbol" will also be
flashing for the entire five(5) minutes. The meter display will return
to normal function automatically after the reminder maintenance time
interval of two(2) hours.There is no method of manually re-setting
this Service Monitor gauge)

So what they are saying is this oil change reminder has nothing to do with physically changing the oil. It just starts blinking at 50 hours for two hours of run time before it resets. I read also that this timer is not all that accurate and may take up to 5 hours to reset.

It's a 50 hour service reminder...it stops on it's own. There is no "reset"

Well that was interesting I changed oil at 49.5 hours and 2 hours later the blinking light was gone , so it appears that it somehow does register some change and continues to give 2 hours of blinking any way
Interesting

Oz

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.
