Ltx1050 transmission leak
I have a ltx1050 that has a slow oil leak around the transmission, where do these usually leak from, is it an easy fix and how do I go about adding more oil to it, any video I've seen says to remove a plastic cap but mine doesn't have that, only thing I see is a hex bolt that I can't get to budge, is that the correct one to remove to add fluid to tranny

Yes, that is the fill plug.
No dipstick, you have to measure fluid level to 1 1/4 inch. Here's link to Hydro Gear manuals. https://www.hydro-gear.com/service-repair-manuals/ |

I had a LTX1045 with the same transmission (HydroGear). One thing you may want to consider is buying suction device (turkey baster, the manual type you pump, etc.). Suck as much of the old dirty fluid off and then refill. Your transmission is over 10 years old and will benefit from it. Note, I think I refilled mine with 20W-50 oil. The manual I have even states 20W-50.

Any chance that bolt is reverse threaded, I have yet been unable to loosen it but didn't want to really try until I found out cause I didn't want to strip threads or anything

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.
