When I pulled the rear end cover off of my 1572 about 10 years ago to put a rear PTO on, I was astounded to what I found inside. I wish I had a picture of it. I was a ball of aluminum turnings about the size of a softball hiding in the front left corner of the sump. It's almost like they never cleaned it out when they assembled it in the factory. But aside from that, how often, based on real-world experience, is is necessary to dump the contents of the rear-end. I know cub cadets are used in a wide variety of environments so what one is exposed to is not what the next is exposed to.

My opinion:
Just because of that reason (different uses) I say every 100hrs or 2 years. Whichever comes first. If you use your cub daily or put more than 100hrs a year on one, then you could go to 200hrs. I at least change the hy-tran filters once a year, and do oil about every 200hrs.

For the record, IH suggested yearly rear end oil changes.

For what it's worth I do hydro oil and filter changes at 200 hours or 2 years, never had one go to 200 hours, more like 100. Back when I was a kid my uncle who was in charge of the maintenance of the company equipment told me that oil and filters are cheap compared to the parts you will replace if you don't take care of it and you'll change the oil and filter when you rebuild it anyway. Figured he was older and smarter than I was so I listened. Do as you please it's your equipment and your $$$$. Rant over. Return to regular programing.

Glad to see you doing what needs to be done. That should be a happy 2182.

Seems like the hoses aren't quite right. The intake hose that attatches to the carb has a pretty severe bend, and the intake hose that runs to the dash tower seems to fit poorly in that little ring in the firewall.

New spark plugs as well gapped them to .030. Also can buy these plug wires wholesale for around 70 bucks I think. Obviously the price is extremely high, however these are some of the heaviest duty plugs I have ever seen. Are they worth it? Are they heavy to withstand heat?

Got a new cap and rotor, the rotor is really stuck on there, there seems to be no sort of hold-down mechanism or is it just seized on there? Lastly I found a red rubber hose that went from the cap to nothing and another hose that went from a hard line up to the dist. But was not connected. There are two holes in the dist cap. Is this some vacuum advance setup or what? Where do these two red hoses go?

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.
