Hello,I got my cub cadet 1440 working today. It was the fluid. The valvoline I put in was much too high in viscosity,my guess about 60,70w. The hytran is 10w,same wt. as atf,as used in JD garden tractors.My guess is atf could be used in cub cadets. I was told by case/ih service man that on a cc 383 lawn tractor to replace fluid with 30w hd engine oil,the higher viscosity will improve trans action on this old unit. By the way,what is with all of this crap about 82 and newer cubs being no good because MTD bought out the l&g from IH? It looks like most of the good design stuff is still being used today,probably made in same plants as before.Besides MTD made a bad ass garden tractor back in early 70's? with 3 point hitch, 16" back wheels,looks something like D 200 wheelhorse. I like all types of garden tractors,have 2 JD 140,1 JD 110 wheel horse RJ 58,753 the cub 1440 and have fixed up and sold cub 129,105,1450 etc,etc.People that like IH cubs should not turn their backs on cub cadets made today because International Harvester sold the line out to MTD any more than Chrysler (MoPar) fans should because Daimler took them over. The Cub Cadets made today would be little changed if IH still made them,as all things change with time.
