Do remember there are different weights of hy trans /hy guard etc. fluid, the 303 stuff TSC sells and others are heavier and not so good in winter, as they make the pump cavitate ( noisy) and it is not good on the hydro or any pump for that matter.
Just a FYI.

At work they use a NAPA brand universal hydro tranny fluid.
There are a dozen different tractor brands listed that it has been approved for use by.
Cub Cadet is listed, tomorrow I will see what CC/IH spec it has been deemed.

I like how this thread has turned into another hytran debate thread.... :bash2:

I have only done what you are going to do once but it was on a 2072. We tore it all the way down to include removing the axles and axle covers which held at least 8 ounces of water in each axle tube. We then proceeded to drill the drain holes that Sam Mac explained. If your fluid is still fluid looking you may be good but our fluid came out looking like coffee with cream added. That to me signaled that water was in the fluid hence the further teardown of axle covers.

I know a lot of people see nothing wrong with a good universal tractor fluid that supposedly meets the IH B-6 specification. Many have had great luck with it.

That isn't my luck. I use Hy-Tran. Hy-Tran works. I also use the cub Cadet filter. there are sever others out there, made by Wix, Baldwin/Hastings, and perhaps others. Be sure you have the correct hydraulic filter.

I took the snow fighting equipment off the 147 today, and after sinking it (and having to push it out) of my very soupy backyard because I thought a drive would be fun, I climbed under neath it and the cam plate can be moved laterally about an inch or more. :bigeyes: I'm sure that is part of the problem.

First off: He didn't ask for any help on picking fluids. So, lets stop with that discussion please. :beerchug:

As mentioned, the amount of heat your going to use to close up the corners isn't a big deal, but for the "just in case" wrap a wet rag around the shaft and over the pump. You'll be golden:beerchug:
Oh yeah, take it from the expert, (me) do not clean out the differential with paper towel on a hydro either, it's to easy to not get every piece out, and the pickup tube frowns on that:biggrin2: Jon will get a laugh out of that:bigthink:

Todd is correct on his advice.

No, I will never forget how we first met Todd. Even I was stumped on that deal! :ExtremeFunny:

Got a vacation coming up next week that is going to eat up budget. I need to chip away at parts $$ so I can tackle it all at once. I'm looking forward to it.
