Not sure if you've heard this before but my local cub dealer wanted $10/qt for hytran and I located a ihcase dealer within 20 miles that will sell it by the gallon for $17 might be worth locating the big tractor store, they were also very knowledgable of our little tractors. Even more so than my local cub stealer!

$13/quart? That's more than CC charges for the real thing!

In Texas you probably will have an easier time finding a Case heavy equipment dealership than a CIH farm dealer. Hytran can also be obtained from Case heavy equipment dealers.

I'm talking about the cub cadet oil. P/N 737-3120
it's $13.99 quart @ TSC.

Will this work in our older hydro's or is only for new stuff.

I went to a local Case dealer for hytran out of their bulk tanks and they were no very big on that idea as they sold it in sealed 5 gallon pales at the counter for alot more cost.

They sold me 4 gallons bulk but left me know that was not how they like to sell it to the public to carrie out. I was a pain in the arsh for the guy at the counter,he had to go in the back and have a mechanic fill my container.He was not very happy and said the bulk fluids are for machines in the shop for repairs.I got the impression it wouldn't happen again.

I am having no luck finding HyTran, the nearest IH dealer is 40+ miles away. I am probably opening a can of worms here but can someone tell me what the big deal about HyTran is? has anyone tried something else with good or bad results?

I started this for the same reason...

but finally took a long lunch drive out to the dealer. He was REALLY nice and asked about the Cub. Remembers selling and servicing them.

I was going to do a first change with fluid from O' Riley's which says it meets B-6 spec and is 1/2 the price. But when I drained the fluid it was pretty clean and not a lot of gunk. So, I decided to go with the factory fluid.

How it differs from other fluid? Moisture isolation, anti-wear additives, and then like most hydraulic oil would be SAE 10 wt.

The vendors on this site sell the quarts.

Found out the local cub dealer (which is really close) also has the gallons of HyTran, so I am going that route. So you dont need a IH dealer, a Cub dealer might carry HyTran by the gallon too.

Hy Guard has a patented formulae that absorbs small quantities of moisture.
It is proven good, make no mistake.
That being said,
It is my opinion that the largest equipment manufacturers in the world would not sell inferior lubricants for their equipment.
Deere will tell you their Hyguard is better, just as others will like Kubota, Cat, New Holland IH/Case Etc. will promote their lubricants
Our older hydros were put in Deere, Cub, and others, including Cushman Vehicles.
The hydro manufacture, Sundstrand recommends
Anti wear hyd fluid or ATF type "F" or hyd transmission fluid.
I personally use Tractor supply hyd oil in my Green and Red tractors with no ill effects.
Just like folks are loyal to their particular brand of motor oil.
I personally believe that oil that meets specs is sufficient.
I do know oils/lubricants have improved immensely since I started changing them 60 years ago.
This is just my opinion which I am entitled to.
Others have theirs which I respect.

Touche ol'george. I've been using TSC type hyd oil in my 125 for 25yrs and it shows no signs of slowing down. Never had a problem and have been using NAPA brand filters. Never had a problem with moisture on any oil change that I have done throughout the years. Tractor sits on a dirt floor inside a pole barn.

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.
