You could look into a Pella oil extractor. It will suck the oil out through the dipstick tube. Strangly enough, it really does a good job of removing all the oil.

Amigatec-

How exactly is that going to work? You're still going to get a bunch everywhere between taking out the oil plug and putting that thing on there.

It will be a bit ticky, but you have to use 2 hands and hold it until the oil is drained. I may work with it some more and improve on it.

I am confused? I removed the deck from my 982 (which is VERY simple) to change the oil. I leave the mule drive and sub-frame on for the deck with very little issues. I slide the large square oil drip pan under the tractor, loosen the drain plug with the wratchet & socket, then take it out the rest of the way with my hands. Drain the block, then slide the pan over slightly and remove the oil filter and let the two drain out completely (as much as I can get out of it). When finished I slide the pan out with the old oil in, take a rag and wipe off the little dribble down the side of the frame from where the oil filter is. Then reach up underneath and screw in the drain plug finger tight, grab the socket and wratchet and tighten it up. Grab the rage next and wipe off the the small piece of the frame and the cross bar of the sub-frame. TOTAL amount of oil I wipe off the tractor....maybe 2 tables spoons? I am sorry...I don't see what the big problem is? At least, there isn't one on the 82 series.

Methos I don't have one, but a good friend of mine does. He uses his quite a bit. I think he has the 650 model.

Default topsider

This is what they use on my MB (commercial version).. figure if it's good enough for them it's good enough for everything I drive...

We've had a 12v model for our big boat for years... never even dawned on me to use it in anything else till I walked (years ago) into the shop and noted thats how they were changing the oil... I asked the mechanic (who was changing it on a gelandewagen 550) if that was standard.. he said absolutely.. they didn't drain the pan unless something else was at issue...I asked on all of them, he said every single MB.. this was factory approved..

on my MB the oil filter is actually a pretty crazy contraption.. I do get some oil on my hands changing out the 5 O rings and sliding the filter on.. but the pump makes extracting the oil into a recycling container very, very simple..and very, very clean..

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.
