Default Cub cadet Hds 2185 transaxle
I'm a newbie here. Recently picked up a well used cub cadet hds 2185 and thought it a good idea to change the transaxle fluid and filter. After reading many posts I came to understand it is okay to run Rotella T 15w -40. I also installed a purolator pure one pl14670 filter which I cross referenced to be an alternative to the cub cadet filter 923-3014. Upon starting the tractor, it did not want to move in forward or reverse but let out an audible whine when trying to. The transaxle took about 6.5 quarts to reach the full level on the dipstick.
I am beginning to suspect the filter is not compatible so I plan on ordering the factory 923-3014 part, but I am really hoping I didn't do any damage to my transaxle.
Any thoughts from any seasoned veterans out there?

Just my 2 cents but I only use the OEM Cub filter, NAPA 1410 or Wix 51410. (Wix makes NAPA filters just remove the 5) as far as the oil I have heard people using Rotella in the older style Cubs but the HDS uses something else. First thing I would do is change the filter and if it won't move you may have a problem.

Iknow this is old, but if the crossed filter has a anti- drainback valve you can airlock it.

Old... yeah... nearly four years old. I'm betting he figured it out by now.

Well I don't care if the thread is 4 years old. I learned something. I've always heard, like Sam said, to use quality filters. Now I know why. Thank you for your post.

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.
