Been working as much as possible, between snow removal "chores" on our "new" gorgeous, poor old, Cub.
The hydraulic fluid is reading low, a few leaks at the lift valve which we're workin' on. Other than deal with the local Cub dealer, what hydraulic fluid is acceptable? If I top off the fluid would "the other" fluid mix OK or am I askin' for trouble? The leak doesn't exist unless I use the hydraulic lift, up 'n down.

Any hydraulic/transmission fluid is ok. TSC (or any "farm" store) should carry the IH Hy-Tran equivalent. Dexron III is very close too.
If it only leaks when using the lift, either your cylinder is leaking, or a line. Take the tunnel cover off and should be pretty obvious where it is coming from. |

Thanks J-Mech!
Been looking at the hyd lift valve and believe one of the O-rings (#3) on the diagram is a leaker. The service manual is great! Thanks Sam Max for a copy. Is there a place in the manual that sizes the O-rings? Or, what size are the #3 O-rings? The more I look at this poorly treated Cubbie the more I like it. Springtime a bit of sandblasting and spray painting is high on the list. Grandsons demand this Cub groomed!

My guess is your 1641 will be as good as new within a few months. Holler if you need help.

My 2nd property, 3/4 acre, I purchased a Craftsman. Had it for a month, sold it. A friend delivered a basket case Wheel Horse, I still have a few. I fab'd 316 SS mower decks for the Horses. Dealer tried to stick a magnet to the deck, no go. What's under this red paint? ![]() University of DE, Ag School, I purchased a '32 Farmall and joined the Rough 'n Tumble in Kinzers, PA (http://www.roughandtumble.org/). Why? Cause my sons and I needed to! Now grandsons "need to". We donated the Farmall to the Lancaster PA Boys Club for their summer farmin'. I loved their hard cider! Sandblaster is ready. MIG welder is set. Paint sprayer on standby. Grandsons and sons chompin' at the bit.

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.
