Cub Cadet XT1 LT46" Transmission Repair | Low Fluid
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 мар 2022
- I thought the drive belt was stretched, but turns out the trans was dry with no fluid in it. I used Heavy duty SAE 30 weight motor oil for the transmission fluid. This is my personal mower.
" Mustie1" was the RUclips channel I watched go check out his channel as well. The axel seal part number is tt-187t0134280.
amzn.to/3qnwTwK - I found the seals on amazon for $13 if you just search the part number.

Thank you for taking the time to make this Briley
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm glad it helped Ya.
I got the 50 inch deck with the same problem. You can remove the battery. There are 2 metal straps that support the battery and they are removable. You should be able to access it that way without removing the transmission in order to fill it back up or maintenence.
That's good to know . I thought about it that after I had it tore apart lol
How do you drain it though, just for maintenance? Fixing to roll 200 hrs on my 2018 and wanna get as much life out of it as I can.
@@matthewwatson572 idk if there is a drain plug or not. Mine leaks thru the seals on the axels. U could remove it and turn it upsidedown lol
@@matthewwatson572 can you pump the old fluid out?
I've seen some drill and tap a hole for drain. Have to be very carefull, do not let bit jump into the tyranny, not much space between case and components.
I have LT 1050, tyranny is slipping, bought q "working" used one. Think I'll try oil change before swapping them
Thanks man, this is exactly what I needed to fix my cub cadet. Great job!
Awesome thanks, I'm glad it helped
Thank you Briley been having the same problem going to try this after work tonight!
Hope it fixes it
It fixed my issue and now mows like a champ! Thank you so much, I was on the fence of getting a new drive belt too!
@bjwoody86 awesome I'm glad it fixed it
Thank you! This is exactly what my LTX1050 is doing! I did try to bleed the air as I saw on another video, but it didn't make a difference, so I suspect that it's low on fluid.
Someone commented below that you could remove the battery and fill it
Is your gas tank in the back?
@@deespeikz6557 I think it was under the hood infant of the steering wheel
@@deespeikz6557 No, it's in the front under the steering wheel.
Just FYI - I lifted the battery and opened up the port and my transmission is still full of oil... So looks like I may have bigger problems 😐
Thanks man!!! Merica🤘
You bet!
How not to!!! Put in new Seals since you know they are leaking. Powerwash the unit before opening it up. You have likely destroyed that special vent. You may find there is a rubber plug beneath the fan for filling. There are 2 compartments in that tranny. They also need to be vented by fwd/reverse movements. Parts falling off and dragging. Call Tuff Torx for seals. Tenn.
Ran it all last year with no additional maintenance and it worked fine. thanks for your input though
Great video, Thanks for posting....What did you use for fluid?
A mixture of sae 30, 10w30 motor oil still running fine.
@@BrileyWray Thanks again, Sure appreciate it!
I have a very similar issue with my xt1 42". Out of nowhere the forward and reverse gears stopped working. Took off the deck and cleaned it and checked the belts. Is it more than likely the fluid being low that would stop it from working? I also know there is a switch that when you press for reverse, its connected to the transmission which makes it go backwards. I just don't know if that might be the issue. I'm going to mess around with it and see though. I guess if that doesn't work, I'll pull the transmission. Don't see any leaks though so, I'm not sure what's going on. Appreciate the video though, as it will help get it off if I need to.
Someone said you can pull the battery and fill the transmission without dropping the whole axel
@@BrileyWray Awesome. I'll start with that first, I think. Thanks again
@@rosettahaze No, I still haven't been able to. I've pulled the deck off but, I couldn't find a drain / fill plug for the transmission. Still trying to see If I can find a service manual as that would help a lot. I just don't know what else to try at this point. If I ever find the manual, I'll post a link to it here.
@@woolfy02 any update? Having same issue thanks
@@SimplifiedTruth Hey. I couldn't figure it out myself so, I had a guy who fixed lawnmowers pick it up. He brang it back and said the only issue was in the rear of the mower, with those rod / rods that disengage the transmission. He said something about how it was stuck, and was able to loosen it up. It worked after that so, idk. lol. I ended up at-least getting a tune up for it. Maybe try to oil up near that area? Crazy how after tearing that thing apart, that's all it was. I hope that helps.
can I ask does your white fan back there spin easly . mine is so tight that I can't spin it by hand
I don't remember. I have since bought a new mower so I can't check
I have a 2014. You can remove the battery under the seat and the fill cap is right there.
Thanks for the advice
Mine just grinds when you try to go forward and doesn't move. Reverse doesn't work... Belt and Pullys look good... Should I check the Transmission fluid?...
100% I would
Advice on getting seals! Take the old one out and get the seal number. Get online and type seal number in and hit enter. You will be surprised at what you find.
I left a link the them on Amazon in the description. They are 13$ for the pair
Mine doesnt have a pop off plug it has a allen key that wont come off just stripping
Probably have to use a ease out or a larger Allen key just hammer it in
Awesome i’m about to check the fluid in mine not moving
Hope this fixes it
I believe the left axle seal has a little leak so it’s probably low on fluid ,thank you very much✅
LTX 1045 i’m guessing most of the transmissions are the same on these
I have a 1050 transmission spare
@@johnnoo I think so. Probably worth a quick Google
@@BrileyWray ✅
What did you find for seals?
I found these on Amazon for $13 but still haven't taken the time to replace them.

Hey my ltx1050 started making a horrible grinding noise and is really slow getting my fat ass up even a slight hill now. Never did that before. Any ideas?
Not right off. Check oil. It could be motor, trans, but without knowing more it's hard to knot for sure
@@BrileyWray ok thanks!
Mines doing the same.... Makes grinding noise and won't move forward... No reverse.... Did you ever find out the problem?... Thanks in advance
I'm seeing 20w50 used
i don't see a issue with that. just thicker depending on how the pumps work it may take longer to prime the pumps on start up.
Hahaha, all you had to do was remove the battery to get to that filler plug. You went through all of that for no reason.
Needed the experience. Glad I saved you the extra work.
Older models have the fuel tank in that location.
If only there was a machine that could pressurize water to get dirty mowers like that clean.
That would be 👍
You could call it a pressure washer! Even a garden hose and some degreaser would help.

Thanks I guess lol
20w50 for cub Cadet rear end
Thanks for that clarification.
Thank you for taking the time to make this Briley
No problem glad it helped.
