Default 1610 hydro oil change

If someone could help me locate the hydro oil drain plug on a 1610 that would be very helpful. I can't seem to locate it. the manual says there is a hex drain plug on the bottom of the housing but I can't locate it. Also would 80w gear oil be sufficient in the rear?

ok checked the parts diagram and the drain should be on the bottom of the unit and it is not there. Would there be another place for draining the hytran fluid? maybe the front dump valve? but it is halfway up the unit. The fluid is a non-translucent milky brown color and it pushes out the breather hole in the cap when in use.

Well, I drained and added new rear end oil (which wasn't very easy without the right funnel). I also drained the hydro pump with a gas siphon hand pump since there wasn't any drain plug and added new which takes forever. It definitely made a difference. A new drive belt and I'll be off to mowing.

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.
