Default 1872 does pushing actually hurt the tranny

I got 2 1872s and I was wandering if actually pushing them will hurt my tranny. I see they've got a sticker on them not to push or tow, the one I'm rebuilding the engine and pushed a couple times to power wash it off. And the other one I got with out a engine and the steering don't work at all just free wheels, maybe no oil in it the tranny I heard if you push and turn them not running pushs the oil out and it wont steer. Any info would be great.

I drug an 1811 about 300ft with a quad and it was perfectly fine.

Towing or pushing CAN damage the hydro. If you must, do so slowly and for no more than necessary.

I have experienced this.

They will steer for awhile with the engine off.

Good rule of thumb:
Tow as fast/far as a toddler can, and nothing gets hurt.

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.
