Default 149 trans service
I want to service the fluid in the trans of my 149. I also want take the rear cover off to check for moisture and junk build up. My questions are 1 I don't see a drain so the cover has to come off any way correct? And 2. Has anybody had luck reusing the gasket? They seem pretty expensive for a gasket to me. How about RTV or silicone gasket maker? Any thought or opinions are welcome. Thanks, Mark

The rear cover does have to come off for the fluid to be drained. Take out the lower bolts first in an attempt to deflect the fluid down instead of all over the place.

Do not reuse the gasket. Get a new one. You'll be happier that way.

What Dan said. You can go to an auto parts store and buy some gasket paper and make the cover gasket. I did that for my 71 because I didn't want to wait for the dealer to get one for me. So far no leaks.

Ok, thanks guys. I ordered a new gasket. 14.00 plus 9.00 shipping. I have tried gasket paper before and haven't had much luck. Already enough leaks now!! Guess I just needed a push to do the right thing. thanks for the input. Mark

Mark, there is a drain plug underneath. If you can't find it, I can post a pic if you want.

I have one on my 128 also. Lower right front corner if I am not mistaken. You have to look for it. Mine was covered in old dirt and chaff.

I've never seen a drain plug on the rear of a cadet.

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.
