Default 2140 Trans Fluid
You have got to be kidding me that trans fluid is $20 a quart, for the Cub Cadet Drive System Oil!!

https://www.amazon.com/MTD-737-3120-.../dp/B005UATP88


I have read that I can use 10w-30 Full Synthetic oil as a replacement/substitute, is this true?

Thanks,

Eric

Tractor supply has a HyTran substitute.
I would check the local IH dealer first.

Yes, that is the oil Cub recommends. GM tells me to use A/C Delco filters and Ford tells me to use Motorcraft.....wonder why? It wouldn't be because they want more money is it?

This issue has been talked about for years on all forums. I now run Rotella T 15W-40 standard diesel motor oil now in all my stuff. I'm still waiting for my transmission to fail. It's not a money thing cause Rotella is about $4/quart but my local Case/IH dealer closed up shop a few years ago.

Hydraulic system oil sold in farm stores for $30 for a 5-gal pail. Works in $100,000+ farm equipment, so I've decided it's good enough for a used Cub.

This is the correct fluid for your 2140. It is a Synthetic Blend.

Thinking about this in my transaxle for the AGS system. Thoughts? Concerns? I would of course by the Synthetic version just like the Cub Cadet Hydraulic/Transmission Drive System Oil.

It is your tractor, your time, your money. All we can do is advise you on what is recommended. The rest is up to you.

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.
