Looking to change transmission oil in my 108, the mnual said only add as needed but i see people do it all the time so I guess I will too. What oil to use? And where to get it. I am looking for a quality oil to put in this trany. Thanks for the help.

HyTran just like the hydro's use. Your Cub Cadet dealer will have it. It takes 7 pints to fill a manual transmission.

That is right, Original thru 1X4/1X5 can use either. Hytran in everything else except an original with a Danco UD-6 creeper unit. That requires SAE-140.

I'm using SAE 30 motor oil in my 122 and have noticed much improved performance compared to the water-infused mess that was removed from it. It was not easy to roll in neutral when I first bought it. No problem now.

I am sure many owners of these gear driven tractors put in what ever they had. My 106 had some heavy gear oil in it before I changed it with Hytran. I put 30 wt in my 122. They both operate good and shift nice.

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.
