Default 122 Hydraulic lift pump leaking
I searched the threads and can't locate the answers. The hydraulic lift pump on my 122 is leaking from the front just a little bit. Is it difficult to change the seals? Where's the best place to get a seal kit? And what type of oil is used in the pump? THanks all.

I have never had the seals leak on any of mine yet, but you might check your fittings and make sure that everything is snug before buying a seal kit. I use Hytran (same as rear transmission) in all of my hydraulic lifts.

"Hytran". Is that a type of oil made by various manufacturers? What name brands should I be looking for?

Hytran is what International Harvester put into the rearend/transmission on the hydrostatic version (123) of your tractor when they built it.
Can still be had where they sell Cub Cadets and/or parts.

There are also other brands that claim to be an approved substitute per their labeling.

Thanks. Tractor Supply might be an option. There's only one Cub dealer around here. I saw a product on line made by Cub Cadet, but it was called drive system fluid. Same thing?

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.
