Again, you must have thought I was going to drain and replace the hydro fluid. No need to at this point.

I've prefilled a few but not to the top, you gotta be quick and have the area around the old filter clean.

Sorry for the confusion. Most times hydro filters only get replaced when the entire system is drained, cover pulled, case cleaned, then refilled. The pump will fill that filter in a manner of seconds, so it is an unnecessary waste of fluid spilling out of it. It won't hurt a thing.

OK...thanks to all. Maybe I'll just add to half-way on the filter, or else not at all. Might not even bother changing the filter this year. New one two years ago for sure. And the fluid in the trans is only 4 years old. I top it off occasionally since there's still a VERY slow leak somewhere. I had hoped the cork gasket replacement would have taken care of it - and it seemed to for the most part but not completely. |

If you remove the old filter, doesn't the trans oil run out?
Being an old dog and resistant to new tricks, I still always fill a new filter to whatever level will allow me to install it with no or little mess. And filling with both release valves removed works well. If it's a complete drain and fill (on a 149 anyway) I just remove the top plate. I can inspect the interior and run a magnet around as part of the inspection. Even when filling that way, I remove the release valves so the case doesn't air lock. Almost thirty years of hydraulic repairs has put some fear into me. |

The lube table in my Owner's Manual sez to change oil as needed. I assume that to mean if there's discoloration or moisture found in it. The filter is recommended to be changed every 100 hours.
I go by the hour meter on the Cub. Without an hour meter I figure if it averages over the year to about 8 hour weeks, say 4 2 hour days per week on average, that translates to 12 weeks to get 100 hours. Depending on climate and acreage such as my little 2 acres with an orchard in mild W Oregon, the time really racks up. Even now with some warm weather a little early, the lawn is already needing mowing. The filter gets changed about once a year and is cheap insurance. It goes on empty, and as others have said, the charge pumps fills it pretty fast. |

Ambush...once the old filter is removed, I don't recall very much fluid running out. I don't understand the mechanism enough however to know why that might be the case. |

Sounds like everyone has some different views and thoughts on this subject as that is good.Thats why I come here to learn knew techniques and sometimes I find out I've been doing something I could improve on.For those who want fluid in their filter when installing, what if you had some tilt to the Cub?Any thoughts?I do my dry by the way

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.
