Here is a link to your service manual. Transmission service and removal start with paragraph 28.1 on page 47.
It will make some sense to you if you read this first. https://www.ccpartsnmore.com/uploade...%202008%29.pdf

Thanks again, Ironman. I notice in the manual that they say to disconnect the two linkages to the control arms at the pedals. That's precisely what I was considering doing, and is going to be much easier. I'd have never thought about disconnecting that reverse switch wire though.
Also, they said to use a 1/4" Allen wrench. It seemed to me that a 6mm felt like it fit. Before I pull the tranny I think I'll try a 1/4" Allen, and I might just get lucky and not have to pull it in the end anyway.

Success! And I didn't have to pull the tranny!
As the Hydro-Gear manual called for a 1/4" hex wrench to remove the plug and I didn't have one, I ordered a complete set of SAE hex bits for a socket wrench. They finally came on Saturday, and today was the first day I could try 'em. It took a 3/8" adapter and a 3/8" extension, plus a 24" breaker bar, and 2-cylinder armstrong power to get that plug out, but it finally went 'POP'and unthreaded right out. Hydro-Gear really didn't want this to be an owner serviceable unit, did they? The hex bit had by then swaged itself into the fill cap, and I had to clamp the socket into my vise and use a ball peen hammer and a drift punch to get the plug off of the hex bit. I next stuck a thin flexible rod down in there and it came back pretty dry, with just a very little bit of oil on the end. The rest leaked out through the axle seal, I guess. The only real reason to pull the tranny was to turn it upside down and drain it, but that is hardly necessary. So I'm just going to cut to the chase, fill it back up with 20W50, and go for the gold!

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.
