Default Hydraulic Fluid and Hydro fan for 149
Has anyone used Travellers Hydraulic fluid for their IH 149? If so, any problems? Does the Fan on the driveshaft pull air over the pump from the rear to cool? Is the fan mounted with the locking ring facing the pump or the engine? Thanks in advance for your help and have a great day.
Bob

I have used it for years with no problems, but I change it every 2-3 years.

No, it blows air over the hydro cooling fins from front to back.

Is the fan mounted with the locking ring facing the pump or the engine?
I forget.

I can't remember either, but the fan needs to blow rearward as mentioned, so the radius of the blades (lift if it were an airplane wing)
would be on toward the front of the tractor
And I also use tractor supply's universal hyd fluid.
Do not use anyone's "303" hyd fluid.
You can also use automatic transmission fluid type"F" as specified by the hydro manufacture, Sundstrand.

Thanks to all that replied to my questions and thank you IronMan for the picture. I have trouble visualizing things now and that picture really helps.
Everyone have a great day.

My 129 hasn’t had a fan blade on the driveshaft for years and it hasn’t had any issues. The only problem with my trans is that one of the fluid lines got bent by a stump while hauling firewood on my property, and it leaks a small amount when it’s sitting. The fluid that’s supposed to go in the trans costs a pretty penny and I’ve been filling it up with travellers hydrostatic fluid for a while now. I don’t recommend doing what I do, but after carrying dozens of cords of firewood and cutting 1.5 acres every week during the warmer months it gets the job done

Ironman that’s a great looking machine. I wish mine still had factory IH size tires.

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.
