I was looking for a gasket for my IH Cub 782 but all I see online were gaskets that looked like my cover but they all had 9 holes in them and My rear plate only has 7 and low and behold now that you have removed your cover I see there are actually 9 bolt holes but only 7 are being used. I didn't want to remove my cover until I got the gasket so thanks for showing the rear housing!
I did an experiment in my highest mileage truck 400,000ish miles. Switching to AMSOIL for the transmission, and I'm pretty happy with it. I've been running it in the engine for years now despite everyone saying (it'll blow gaskets and leak everywhere) was just flat out incorrect, if anything the engine leaks less with 5w30 signature series amsoil than it did with regular oil. But works great in the transmission too, it shifts a lot better in cold weather. So i think I'll throw some signature series 10w30 in the cub cadet too, I have a manual transmission on the 104. Its a mower by summer and plow by winter. (Also I use the RTV on everything with no leaks, red high temp and black high temp oil resistant for stuff like the gully on the intake manifold for car/truck engines.. The cheap cork plenum gaskets they sell are junk and leak every time so RTV seems to be a great fix for that issue. I just toss the cork gaskets in the trash.
I use Amsoil in my main mower. The older Cubs I still use just plain Hy-Tran. I would change the others over to Amsoil, But they dont get used much so I figured ill just leave them alone. I agree the cork gasket is junk and I have been realky happy with all the Amsoil products I have used.
what rear end oil would you recommend for cub cadet ltx 1040 ? its got a reverse and forward on it so i know theres not a transmission in it.. having trouble with it not moving especially in forward until its warmed up..changed both belts but that didnt do it...
The only disadvantage I see to RTV is that if too much is used and it squeezes out on the inside, small pieces may break off and get into the valves but it looks like you used the correct amount. Did you change the filter?
You do have to use it sparingly. This model is a gear drive so there is no filter. I would recommend always changing the filter tho after draining the oil.
From what I can see it basically looks like an automobile rear end and they all use 8090 so I'm very curious as to why they don't recommend you to use it it's not like that tractors going to be turning Highway speeds. I could see it maybe being a problem in the winter. I put 30 weight in my engine and in the rear end
I've come across a tractor fluid that can be used and bought by bulk at $15. for 5 gal called 1,000 fluid, versus $95. for 5 gal of Hytrans. Oil Wholesalers carry it in huge bulk tanks to sell to tractor repair shops and farmers. Take your own container and save even more!!! You're looking for the company that sells fuel and oils to gas stations. All it takes is a phone call and ask if they carry 1,000 fluid.
I will have to check that out. Hytran has really gone up in price. I still have quite a few gsllons left from years ago, But I am getting low. I will look into that. Thanks
A local total IH dairy farmer turned me on to 1,000 fluid two years ago. He buys it by the 55 gal drum. It's the stuff they put in the Case IH buckets and jugs for the dealers. It's what I'm using here on out. As far as the gear oil in manual transmissions the only thing with that would be the stiff shifter in the cold weather.
@@steiger256 hytran is indeed expensive. Cheapest I could find on a 45 minute drive was $88 per 5 gallons. Other states is $69 for 5 gallons. I have an 1863. I bought hygard for it. Haha. The john Deere hygard is good stuff. I may have to change the oil twice so why buy hytran? Also i really don't like the rural king and tsc stuff. It's just too cheap! Many use 15w50 synthetic engine oil for hydrostatic transmissions too without issue. I'm going to at least use hygard for my first oil change.
The tires are Carlisle Super Lugs size 23x10.5-12. Make sure you get 8 and a half inch wide rims. There are older garden tractors that have not as wide rims.
The Carlisle all trail tires can be bought in 23x10.5x12 and are outstanding year round! Especially in snow and some ice. Tire chains can damage a driveway at times. The lug tires/ Ag type tires can be cheaper though! They also work very good year round and in snow/ ice with weight.
I am not sure on that myself. I thought it may have been a hole to line a machine up to drill and tap the other holes, But my cast iron hydro does not have it.

I think it matters less to use gear oil when it’s a manual trans. The rtv is a common and acceptable use these days. Gaskets are pricey.

What size are them tires,? And are you using the factory wheels ???
any idea on a torque spec for the bolts? Thanks
Should be 30 pounds I did 35 and broke a bolt
He makes a good case for the silicone gasket.

Ok so when u refill the oil u use a funnel and fill it up to that bolt?
I have a hose i put into the plug hole. A funnel attaches to the top. I just fill it until the oil starts coming out of the hole.
What size is the plug in the cover?
3/8
What gear oil do you use in a international Cub cadet 1250
I use Hytran in all of my Cubs. That is what came in it new. You can get it at any Case IH dealer. Works in both gear and hydro units.
@@steiger256Thank you
Can I get the filter from IH and Case as well
@@GeorgeMcIntyre-o9i Your Case IH dealer should have filters as well. My local dealer has them.
@@steiger256 thank you very much I love what you're telling me about my 1250 international harvester Cub cadet

Update 7/22
1,000 fluid price is up to $60. for a 5 Gal. Bucket now. Still way less than that special label Hytrans CASE IH bucket.
What did you torque the bolts to?
If I recall it should be 30 ft lbs. I usually just tighten them down untill it feels right.
What size rims and tires are those ??? I need a set of those
The tires are Carlisle Super Lugs size 23x10.5-12. Make sure you get 8 and a half inch wide rims. There are older garden tractors that have not as wide rims.
The Carlisle all trail tires can be bought in 23x10.5x12 and are outstanding year round! Especially in snow and some ice. Tire chains can damage a driveway at times.
The lug tires/ Ag type tires can be cheaper though! They also work very good year round and in snow/ ice with weight.
Is the Hy Tran an Hydraulic or Hydrostatic oil?
Thank you
Hytran is supposed to serve as both actually!
What was the torque spec on those bolts please?
If I recall it is 35 Ft Lbs.
What is the hole in the very top of the diff for , the rest of the holes are threaded and theres no bolt hole in the cover plate ????
I am not sure on that myself. I thought it may have been a hole to line a machine up to drill and tap the other holes, But my cast iron hydro does not have it.
My cub cadet 149 calls for 7qts of hy trans with change
Use gear oil.
What gear oil do you use and what weight of gear oil
I feel the sexual innuendo in this video is inappropriate for the subject matter
jeff barman it got me fired up too!😄
