■ Checking the Front Axle Oil Level
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage.
●Before checking the oil level, allow the oil to settle for 1
hour so that the current oil level can be accurately read
on the dipstick. Recheck the oil level after operating the
tractor for several hours.
1. Park the tractor safely.
2. Allow the tractor to cool off for at least 1 hour and the
oil to settle.
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage.
●Dirt and debris in the oil may damage the transaxle.
Clean the area around the dipstick before removing it.
3. Loosen and remove the dipstick situated on the right
side of the front axle.
4. Wipe the dipstick clean with a rag. Only insert the
dipstick into the hole on axle. At this point, do not
fasten the dipstick into the axle case.
5. Remove the dipstick again. Read the oil level on the
dipstick. The oil level should be between the high and
low level marks on the dipstick.
When the oil level is low:
• Add Cub Cadet GEAR LUBE or SAE 80W-90 gear oil
through the fill opening until the oil level is appropriate.
• Reinstall and tighten the dipstick.
6. Operate the tractor for several hours, and then check
the front axle oil level again.
