Once completely drained and cleaned out, it looked pretty good.

Under the top cover everything looks in good working order. Shifter forks aren't bent out or anything, and the gears shift properly.

So, after putting the rear cover back on I filled it with new fluid, SAE 30 oil as the manual states should be used if not using Hy-Tran. Poured it in through the top so that I could coat all the gears with it. Then put that cover back on, and bolted my fender pan back to the tractor. Tomorrow I'll go for the test drive.
Boy, you got lucky! Mine had water mixed in. After cleaning the rust off the bottom of the case and the top of the gears that were exposed, I poured 6 qts of oil in and it wasn't enough. How much did yours take in all?

I would assume you meant 6 pints of oil? 6 quarts is almost the capacity of a hydrostatic.

I bought a 5 quart bottle of SAE 30 oil, and there's probably 4 quarts (8 pints) of it inside the transmission currently. Unfortunately I spilled a bit from the fill hole, which was when it told me I should stop

Then, I took it on my very (VERY) comprehensive test drive. Soon enough I bet I'll be taking these Cubs all the way down to the end of the road (3 miles!) for a test drive...

No, 6 quarts of 30 weight oil poured into the rear end of a stickshift via the shift cover. It came up to about a third of the way up the lowest gear. That was enough to get the thing rolling freely and push it back into the frame for reattachement.

Well, I do know that the Hydro on the 2182 holds about 7 quarts so
I opened up my Model 70/100 Operator's Manual
to page 21 "Lubrication" and it says the Transmission capacity
is about 7 Pints, 6 quarts is a bit much.
I also found this here. HTH https://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/...ead.php?t=4673

You fill the case with oil up to the plug on the rear cover.

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.
