Default Transmission on CC LT 1042

Where do you put/check the transmission oil on a CC LT 1042 ??? Best oil to use ? Best oil for the engine ?
New mowing tractor, everything else in the stable is all IH Cub Cadet.



Thanks ! C&O 2-10-4

According to the manual:

Keep the area around the transmission cooling fan free of grass and debris at all times. The hydrostatic transmission is sealed at the factory and is maintenance free. The fluid level cannot be checked and on most models, cannot be changed

It's "sealed for life", but it doesn't hurt to change it. Search around youtube and there's videos showing how to do it, and even add a drain plug/fill for it. I'd recommend using the hydrogear recommended stuff.

Realize that the LTs in the 1000 series are built to be pretty disposable (read: cheap) and it was never destined to live a long life, and a lot of things will make more sense on it.

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.
