Default 982 hydro dipstick
Pulled the dipstick out of the hydro on the 982 the other day and have question about how it locks in place. It's not a simple twist style that locks in with a 1/4 turn. It has a long rubber plug section with a threaded bolt going though it. Does it just push in place or are you supposed to be able to twist the T-handle and swell the plug--I've seen several of that style on farm tractor engines. Anyway, nothing was trying to rotate, so it either has "issues" or I'm complicating the situation by trying to turn the handle.

Didn't take any pics. I checked the online parts diagrams and could only find one that was located toward the rear, I think that is where the one on my 2072 is. This one has to be accessed through the small panel just below the front of the seat. I didn't think it had one, I accidentaly saw it while we were winching it on the trailer.

Been a while since I had mine off but I think you just twist it to the right to swell the rubber plug. It should get hard to pull out quick. Doesn't have to be terribly tightened.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking, mine just didn't want to turn. I was in a hurry so I just put it back in. I'll address it when I drain and refill the hydro.

IF...your dipstick is OEM (903-0911) then it twists about 180° from on to off.

Boy, I sure can't remember what the dipstick was like on my 982. Long gone now.........The older IH farm tractors like the 560, 806, 1206, etc. had the dipstick you'd turn to tighten the rubber plug. A picture would really help in this situation.

It's the same as the old IH's. Turn it to tighten the rubber plug, unscrew it to loosen. If it won't turn, fix it.

Unless it has been changed to the incorrect dipstick, I'm sure.

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.
