Hmm... think I should change this?
Did some maintenance to my 106 yesterday. Running pretty good; PTO was making a strange sound but after I engaged and disengaged it the sound went away. However the trans sounded a bit excessively loud in 3rd. When I got back to the barn I opened the fill plug on the rear cover and........
IMG_20210228_125511.jpg IMG_20210228_125448.jpg Ya think I oughta change that fluid??   The tractor has been running whatever was in that rear axle when I bought it. Hadn't ever been an issue until just now actually. I would assume, being a gear drive, that most standard gear oils will work without issue here? On a side note, going to pull the fender pan and then open up the gearshift panel. Make sure everything on the top end is in good working order. Probably fill the trans with new fluid from there too, so that it coats the gears as I fill it. NOTE TO SELF: Always check the fluid in the rear axle on a new to you tractor!!!

Pull the rear cover and do an extensive clean.

Looks like water in the oil.
This rig spent a lot of time in the out of doors?? There are O ring seals on the shift lever that are supposed to keep water from entering past it. You may find a rusted mess once you get inside, so be prepared! Just sayin'

Yep, most likely water in the oil. I don't know much of the tractor's past so I'm not sure how water got inside it. Since buying it I've always stored it inside.
From what I understand though, the man I bought it from had to do a decent amount of work to get it going, so it's entirely possible that before he bought it and fixed it up the tractor sat exposed to the elements. Hopefully this weekend I can get the Original outta the workshop and pull the 106 in, that way I can give the rear end a good cleaning.

Looks like maybe it was filled with Mustard. Good time to get it out of there.

Hydro transmissions require a trans/hydraulic fluid. The most highly recommended is Cub Cadet or Case IH Hy-Tran, but there's plenty of off-brand alternatives that'll do the job just fine. Gear drive transmissions are a lot less specific, as all the fluid needs to do is keep the gears and bearings lubricated. You CAN use Hy-Tran or equal trans/hydraulic fluid, but realistically most types of gear oils will work without trouble, as long as it sticks to the gears.

No worries George, it's been warming up lately. Gonna freeze again tonight but then go right back to a solid 45 degrees through the rest of the week.
Wil update what I find inside this thing once I get to it.

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.
