How is the vent gone by adding a zerk? I'm pretty sure Jon is going to make a new hole.

I put a few squirts of grease and gear oil in mine since this is the first time I have ever used it. I will take everything apart this summer to clean all the old grease out. It doesn't take very long to take everything apart. It's really a very simple machine.

If you put grease on your drill bits and tap very few shavings will get inside. Even if a few did get in, it's not a hydraulic system in there. I would say to be on the safe side take the boxes apart at least every 10 years or so and clean and repack.

Edit: To check the level stick a zip tie in, if it comes out dry, add lube.

I don't need a lesson on how stuff works. Been into plenty of gear boxes, including the one in question. I don't think you understand what I'm saying.

No, your wrong. It looses grease. I blew one up because of it. The box isn't sealed that tight. How do you check it..... through the hole. Just like Travis said, if you can't see it..... stick something in there. Trouble is, from the factory they are filled with grease. It's not oil, that's why I said best solution is a zerk. Then you just grease it with a couple pumps daily. If it squirts out the top, your good. No more guessing. Your question has been answered, your just not listening, or you just don't understand.

Yes remove the vent plug. I have to remove a bolt to get mine to clear.

Back to what I said..... I was considering drilling the case and adding a zerk. Then, just grease it until grease comes out the top vent. (The little plug in the top.) If you don't want to drill your case, then there is no good way to grease it apart from disassembly. If your not going to drill the case, I suggest taking it apart and lubing it all up. I don't know why you are so opposed to drilling and tapping it for a zerk, it's not going to hurt it.

We need to be specific on where to add a zerk though.... can't do it just anywhere on that box.

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.
