Default Which oil?

I'm going to change the oil in my 100 this weekend and was wondering what brand and weight ya'al use in your Cubs?

Also, is there anywhere online I can order a filter? What one do I need? I've been looking through partstree, and can't find squat.

I use 30wt Valvoline in my 100. You can get the air filter from our sponsors, at the top of each page. I get my filters at Tractor Supply.

Stitch:

Do we assume you are talking about the crankcase oil from the Kohler...???



If so, this is what is recommended by Kohler and Cub Cadet as found in our Technical Library Section...... Oil

As far as brand.....your call..

Do they make a external pump/filter setup for the older kohlers?
That's reasonable?

The oil recommendation from the link brings up a question. I run straight 30W in my 149 but plan on putting the blower on this winter for the first time since I purchased it. According to the chart I should switch to a multi-viscosity oil. If I warm the block prior to use with a magnetic block heater, will it still be necessary to run the 10W-30?

No. the multi weight only has low viscosity a temps under 40deg F.
If you keep it inside, or heated....it doesn't make a difference.
And second. There aren't small passages that need oil pumped through them by a pump. So thinner oil is not needed either way. And being air cooled, it heats up so fast, the multi weight oil is only the thinner oil for minutes.
I Always use 30wt, with a magnet on the pan, close to the plug.

Most it not all small motor manufactures recomend the owner/user to use straight 30 above 32 degrees and 10W-30 below 32 degrees on the older motors. It doesn't take very long to have any oil related damage done to a motor. Heated buildings are nice....until the fuel supply/power source isn't working.

My 149 can be a a pain to start in the wintertime. The hydro pump is spinning/pumping besides the when you try to start it. I don't use any heaters on the motor or trans in the wintertime.

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.
