CHECKING OIL LEVEL IN FRONT AXLE AND FINAL REDUCTION GEAR CASES.

Check the front axle and final reduction gear case oil levels after every 50 hours of operation. Check the oil level only while the engine is stopped and the tractor is standing on a level surface.

Check Front Axle Oil

The oil fill plug/dipstick is located on the left side of the axle housing. See Figure 44.

•Clean the area around the oil fill plug/dipstick to prevent debris from entering the axle housing. See Figure 44.

•Turn the oil fill plug/dipstick counterclockwise to unscrew from the axle housing.

•Withdraw the dipstick and wipe it clean, then reinsert and screw in all the way. Unscrew and withdraw again to read the oil level. Always keep the oil level between the bottom and the full mark of the dipstick (See Figure 44).

•If the oil level is low, add only enough Cub Cadet Gear Lube to bring the level to the full mark on the dipstick. NEVER overfill the axle housing.

•Reinsert the fill plug/dipstick into the axle housing and turn clockwise to fully tighten.

Check Final Reduction Gear Case Oil

Check the oil level at the two final reduction gear case fill plugs.

•Locate the fill plugs approximately midway up on the rear of the right and left gear cases. See Figure 45.

•Remove the fill plugs and check that the oil level is at the bottom edge of the fill port opening.

•If the oil level is low, use a funnel with a flexible spout to add enough Cub Cadet Gear Lube to bring the level up to the bottom of the fill port.

•Reinstall the fill plug in each gear case.

CHANGING FRONT AXLE AND FINAL REDUCTION GEAR CASE OIL

Change the front axle and final reduction gear case oil after every 300 hours of operation. The total dry capacity of both gear cases and the axle housing is approximately 81 oz. (2.5 qts.)

Change the front axle and final reduction gear case as follows:

•Operate the tractor for a short period to warm the oil to the normal operating temperature. Place the tractor on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and stop the tractor engine.

•Clean the area around the axle drain plug, located at the center front of the axle, and the oil fill plug/dipstick to prevent debris from entering the front axle housing. Refer to Figure 44 and Figure 46.
