Default 1864 hydro fluid change. NOT???

I just read in the manual where it instructs to remove the drain plug and drain and replace the trans oil only on the 1863.
It doesn't mention doing this for the 1864. I find that surprising. This was pointed out to me by a seller of an 1864 that I inquired about.

I awaiteth the light to be shineth upon me.

1864 also has a Sundstrand transmission. 1863 has a Hydrogear.

Not sure of the comparison to refrigerant. ALL oils need to be serviced periodically for optimum life as they are vented to the atmosphere.

I don't care what a book says.... It's oil, it has a filter, it gets changed. If the book doesn't say to do it, it was more than likely a misprint.

All lubricants break down over time. Like Travis said they need to be changed.

I totally agree.
I thought it was strange myself but I check the manual and it specifically indicates that the draining relates to the 1863..
Page 24 of the manual. It sure doesn't make sense other than being a mistake.
I'll change mine. Don't you love having a choice.

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.
