Default rear axle lub

The manual said (to my understanding) that the trans and the rear axle uses the same 30 weight as the motor- shouldn't the rear end require thicker oil?

Depends on your model. Some say SAE30, most are Hytran. I'm sure someone else will chime in with links but in the Technical section there is a page that tells all on this, what models uses what I mean.

I have read several discussion threads regarding oil on this site. All answers are different depending on who you ask. Most guys reccomend HyTran, some only use the expensive IH brand HyTran and others buy an off brand from Rural King/TSC/Farm Fleet.

Here is one of the many discussions

As a loyal user of HyTran, you get what you pay for.
From what you saw in the thread you posted I think you know the answer to your question

Thumbs up

I'm a firm believer in using only Cub Cadet Hy-Tran in my IH Cub Cadet 71, and 72. I also use only Cub Cadet engine oil, and Cub Cadet Gear oil as well. Been accused of being a "loyalist" , which that I am!

Though, many other Only Cub Cadet Members will say they have good results with different oils other than Hy-Tran which is good too!

I have a 102 that was built in 1965. The manual says to use straight 30 weight motor oil in the tranny. I have used both 30 weight oil and 80/90 gear oil and have had no problems. I would presume that with our winters here in central PA the gear oil would be pretty thick. We just drained the rear the other day in prep to paint the rear and the plan is to put 30 wt oil back in. Of course our experience has only lasted since 1975 when I bought this tractor so it has been a kinda short term test.

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.
