An easier oil change
I always thought it was a PIA to change the oil on the Cub Cadet.....especially with the mower deck installed. Either take the deck off or find a way of channeling waste oil into pan without making a big mess (usually ends up in a mess, anyway). Just a PIA either way! Until I found this scoop for cleaning leaves out of gutters. I just stick it under drain plug over mule drive frame. The oil pour out the front of tractor under the grill. No mess.

I had the sheetmetal guy bend up a piece for me and I welded an end on it.
Works fine If you have enough tilt ( angle ), a regular piece of rain gutter would work too. |

You're not cheap Sam, just frugal. You will spend funds when needed but also save when you can. Cheap never spends money at all. |

Nice work Mr. Billy but where do the leaves end up?
I use a plastic detergent container,cut off the side and stick it between the mule drive frame.

I'm not any more concerned about where the leaves end up than what detergent oil you use to wash your clothes!

This is a very useful thread! Thanks for posting. I have used a flexible funnel before, which worked very nicely at first until the drain plug slipped out of my fingers and into the funnel, which then overflowed and you know the rest.....So while others have great ideas to share here, my comment is what NOT to do.
Great ideas those on re-purposing other things! Cub Cadet 123

Never tried to drain oil with "paper" (I bet waxy cardboard would work great!) but we used to have a farm tractor with saddle tanks on the sides (100 gal).It used 1 qt of oil per day. In the field we would rip a section out of a soybean seed bag and roll it into a funnel, about the size of an oversize waffle cone so we could pour in the oil---from a can we punctured with a screwdriver and hammer---Dang I'm getting old, I haven't seen cans of oil for sale in close to 30 years

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.
