NOTE: Several components must be removed and special tools used in order to change the tractor's transmission drive belt. See your Cub Cadet dealer to have your drive belt replaced.

HydrostaticTransmission

Keep the area around the transmission cooling fan free of grass and debris at all times. The hydrostatic

transmission is sealed at the factory and is maintenance free. The fluid level cannot be checked

and on most models, cannot be changed.

IMPORTANT:Several tractor components and parts (pedals, seat, fender, fuel tank, etc.) must be removed in order to refill the transmission after draining it.

If your tractor is equipped with a transmission drain plug (see Figure 21 ), exposed to extreme conditions (hilly terrain, towing, etc.) and you choose to change the hydrostatic fluid, do so after the tractor's initial 50 hours of operation and once a season thereafter.
