Edit: PaulS has the proper plug info, and you may want to take this opportunity to remove the rear plate to clean any sludge and gunk out if you think it may have been awhile.

If you have an operators manual go to page 22. There you will find a Lubrication chart that shows #4 as the fill plug and #5 as the drain plug. If you do not have the operators manual the drain plug is located at the very bottom of the tranny facing forward just a tad infront of the axles but at the bottom of the tranny. The plug that you can see on the back of the tranny above the drawbar is the fill plug.
To drain remove the bottom plug and the fill plug and let drain. Replace the drain plug and fill to the level of the fill plug and replace the fill plug.

And if your 71 is anything like my QL1000, it is a waste of time/money to drain the transmission without removing the axle housings.
The axle housings trap more dirt/sludge than the transmission. If you change just the oil in the transmission with the drain plug, the new oil will be black in two hours. That is assuming the oil is as bad as mine was.

Hydros have the same issue,seems like a lot of work for something a filter would catch.If you want it completely clean though that is the way to go.

I completely agree that taking the rear plate off and the axle housings also will do a much more thorough cleaning job. The reason I answered the way I did was that was the question he asked.

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.
