Trans fluid and oil
What engine oil and transmission fluid do you recommend for a 1989 Hydro 1811?
What is 'low ash' engine oil? This is the type recommended in the owner's manual. for above 32 deg, the lubrication table in the owner's manual says SAE 30; another section says 30W - are they the same? Transmission fluid: owner's manual says Cub Cadet Hydraulic transmission fluid - meets IH B-6 specifications. Is there an equal substitute easier to obtain? Thankyou! |

I run Valvoline conventional in all my engines, for the rearend I use wix filters and hytrans from tsc. You will get a million different opinions on this subject but remember that as long as the fluids are full and changed regularly then it really doesn't matter what you use.

Thank you Tim and Terry for you advice on oil and transmission fluid! I am new to the world of garden tractors, especially old ones, so I have a steep learning curve ahead of me. Sal Grey

I run Case-IH low ash oil in my 2072 (its never had anything else) and in my 982. The rest of the Cadets get the same Exxon 30W diesel oil that everything else around here gets(unless its a vehicle or ATV). I don't know how easy it is to get low ash oil from anywhere else, but I have heard folks swear their Kohler was less prone to burn oil if that is what they used in it. It's a little more expensive, but not much.
I use Hy-tran from Case IH in the hydro---unless I am out (normally I am). Then I use Hy-Gard from John Deere. Want to know a secret--the same company (Sunstrand) built the hydro pumps for IH and Deere.

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.
