Keep your supply of lubricating oil absolutely clean and free from dust. Always use clean containers. Keep the lubricator clean and wipe dirt from the lubrication fittings before applying the lubricator.

TRANSMISSION OIL FILTER (International Cub Cadet 129, 149, and

169 Tractors)

Remove the throw-away can-type filter and replace with a new filter after the first 10 hours and after 50 hours of operation, and every 100 hours of operation thereafter.

NOTE: Clean the outside area before removing the filter to keep dirt from getting into the transmis- sion case. If a mower is mounted on the tractor, the mower must be lowered to facilitate removal of the filter.

To remove the filter, turn the filter counter- clockwise using an automotive type filter wrench or an open end wrench.

Before installing the new filter I apply a coating of oil on the filter gasket. Thread the filter on by hand until tight enough to seat the gasket. Loosen the filter. Then turn it until the gasket contacts the base. Tighten the filter an additional one half turn. Check for leaks and check oil level of transmission

case.
