No fill plug for LTX1050 ???
 

I'm new to this cub cadet chat room but I joined in hopes I could get some useful info and maybe help me out in the future. I purchased a new 2014 cub cadet lt1050 about two years ago, it has roughly 100 hours on it. The end of the last cutting season I noticed the rear axle seals were slightly leaking fluid, well when I went to get it out of the shed this year I noticed that fluid covering the floor and inside of the rear tires from the axle seals leaking. I figured it wasn't a big deal so I ordered new seals and installed them the following week but when I was ready to fill it back up with hydro fluid I noticed there was no fill plug! After searching the internet I found out those units are sealed n not meant to be serviced by the owner, but I've seen where several people posted that it could be done with some difficulty but no one ever described how, so my question is does anyone on here know of a way to fill the unit with hydro fluid? And if so, how much does it require? A local shop told me to take an axle seal out, tilt mower on side n fill that way so I bought another seal n tried that but the fluid won't go past the bearing. Thanks in advance for any info. 2014 cub cadet ltx1050

Is there a breather or check plug of any kind that you could use? Pretty certain that rear is made by someone other than Cadet, possibly Hydrogear. Maybe you could search the net for how to instructions using the rear end manufacturer.

A quick google search turned up an allen plug under the battery box,
but I'm not familiar with that new of a mower.

I've searched it all over but haven't seen an Allen head plug but when I get home in the morning I'll recheck to make sure, thank you

Sorry I never even looked for who manufactured it, I just assumed it was cub cadet, but I will check when I get home tomorrow n post what it says, thank you

And John hall it does have a vent, but it's not like any vent I've seen before and doesn't look like there's anyway to get the fluid in through it

It's a Hydro Gear tranny. #109 is a plug. I guess you use that to fill it. These things use 20W50 synthetic motor oil.

Just got home and looked at the mower, it's got a tuff torq hydro gear on it, I looked it up on google n it showed me how to add fluid to it, unfortunately I have to remove the transaxle to access a plug under the fan. Thank you guys for all the info, I really appreciate it

Oh it's a k46 tuff torq for future reference incase anyone else has the same problem I did
