Or you could drill a hole (maybe 5/16") in the cover plate at a point even with the "full" mark on the dipstick. Tap the hole for a short bolt (plug) fitted with a flat rubber washer. When filling, remove the plug to let air escape, when fluid runs out the hole you are at full mark. Insert plug.

I followed Lew's suggestion today and pulled one of the bolts holding the axle to the frame so that air could escape during the fill process. I had the right rear tire off to gain access to the bolts so that side of the rear was about 2 inches higher than level. I was able to pour oil into the dipstick tube at a steady rate without any blow back, and never spilled a drop! The oil was showing on the stick just below the full mark when oil began to come out the hole from the missing bolt. I then installed and torqued the bolt, installed the rim and tire, and set the tractor level on the floor. I only needed to add about another 1/2 qt to reach full. Other than having a vent installed as also suggested, this method is fast and painless. Thanks Lew and to all the others that responded. I learned something today!

I have not tried this yet but I was told that removing one of the valves allows the fluid to go in fairly quickly and lets the air out.

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.
