Stock Tire Size for 1450
 

Can anyone tell me what the stock tire size is for my 1450? As you can see I bought it without rubber so I have nothing to go on.
Sources for tires would also be helpful.

I also need to know what kind of hydraulic fluid to use on it as the system is dry at this time.

The motor is dry but I assume that 10-30w would be sufficient for that.

Thank you in advance

Given it has the stock rims, it takes 23 10.50-12 on the rear and 16 6.50-8 front. The hydrostatic system takes non synthetic hy trans that you can get at your local cub dealer.

This is the recommended Hydro Fluid............. Hydro Fluid

This is the recommended Kohler lubricants.......... Engine Oil

Do not use 10W30! Use SAE30 instead.

Tires and fluid information
 

Thank you for the information.
I will get the SAE 30 and HYTRAN from a cub dealer
Hopefully tractor supply will have the tires at a reasonable price.

http://www.millertire.com/about-us/ They have pretty good prices and have both turf and ag tires..

Hytran
 

I called the local Cub Cadet dealer today (huge dealer been in business long time) and they don't carry HYTran oil. They said that Cub Cadet and International are 2 different things and that my machine is likely a International Cub and not a International Cub Cadet.. Of course I quickly corrected them as it says "International Cub Cadet" on it and that I understood that the Cub Cadets of today are different.
Oh well, you can rest assured that I will not be putting much weight on any of their opinions.

Your dealer should have the correct tranny fluid. Most of the dealers don't know the old Cub Cadets. Mine sure doesn't.

I would be going elsewhere. Do you have an Case IH dealer around your area? They would have it in a barrel, and from what I've heard, cheaper to.

HyTran compatible Fluid
 

Has anyone used Traveller® Universal Tractor Trans/Hydraulic Fluid that is sold at tractor supply?

It indicates on the package that it is recommended for:
Case HY-TRAN Ultra (MS-1209)
Case HY-TRAN Plus (MS-1207)
Case TCH Fluid MS-1210 (JIC 145)
International Harvester HY-TRAN B-6
International Harvester HY-TRANS Plus (MS-1207)

To name just a few.

The cub manual states HY-Tran B-6 which is listed

:bigthink:

That is all I use, 20 years, no problems so far!!

Oh, yea, besides Cubs I use it in this.

except for the Gravely, it uses ATF and engine oil!! :bigthink:

Or you could try this combination 205/50/15 with Audi steel wheel.

that looks like your rollin on some dubs with those audi wheels. as for hytran i got mine from a case dealer. 2.5 gal bottle for $40 some bucks. i dont have a cub cadet dealer here.

I have seen first hand what cheap oil will do inside of a hydraulic system. The one thing that cheap oil affects the most is clutch packs. I am aware that cubs don't have them but there are other considerations. Hytran is unlike other hydraulic oils in that is a 30w oil not a 10w30 also it has some of the best water absorption characteristics out there. Most oils will absorb small amounts of water then it will just build up on the bottom of the tranny. Hytran can absorb lots of water and still work as it should. Some people get lucky with cheap oil but after seeing the things I've seen I'll never use cheap oil again. BTW I am a certified CNH tech.
