just finished a brake job on the cub, I know where to put oil in the transmission, but where's the fill to plug. was told it was on the side of the transmission, if that's the case I sure can't find it.....HELP
 
The plug where you check the oil level is on the side of the transmission. I'm pretty sure the fill plug is on the top of the transmission.
 
For a CUB. Both machines should be the same . My 1977 standard CUB not a low boy, go buy a brass 1/4 pipe plug. Grab a pair of big vice
grips, and some teflon tape. I will tell you the EASIEST way to check the level. Take the bolts out of your shifter and lift it up. Look down into the tranny on the left side of the tranny and you will see where the level hole is. The oil level is only an inch 1/2
or so. Now if you want to make the effort and do it legit here is what I had to do. Remove the left wheel. Remove the left hub. Remove the left fender. Now you will find the little oil level plug in the left side of the tranny. Mine was a total bear to get out. Broke a correct 8 point socket, then stripped the plug, and then used a brand new pair of number 10 vice grips. That new brass plug will always come out. Not the easiest thing to get at. Very little room to work.
 
Which Cub loboy? If its an offset cub loboy, Jeffcat is correct.

But if its a 154, 185, or 184, I think there is a return oil line to that hole. On them, I would look at the pto delete plate on the rear, where the oil level plug is on Cub Cadets.
