While red tractors are not my favorites I will admit the cub is a rugged little tractor and will
run well for a long time with a little care. Keep in mind the weight of the engine is off center
and the tractor can be quite narrow if the rear wheels are set narrow. Watch out on hill sides.
If you don't need it set narrow it would be a good idea to widen it out some. Another thing about
cubs, they have final drive gear boxes on the end of each axle like some other tractors and while
sometimes the transmission oil gets changed, many times the final drives are overlooked. To
change them you need to remove the pans on the bottom of each one, clean the pan, replace it and
fill to plug level with gear oil, same as trans. oil. Sometimes I pre fill the pans leaving a
little at the top for the volume of the gear and put the pan on with oil in it already. If you
fill to the plug level or just a bit under it will be fine. Screwing a stud, bolt with no head
will do, into two holes to guide the pan into place helps to line things up and not mess up the
gasket. Remove the guide studs after the other bolts are finger tight and put the bolts in those
holes. And there is gear oil in the steering box too. Cubs usually have drain, level, and fill
plugs on gearboxes, but I don't think the final drives do. You add oil until it runs out the
level plug. As others have said manuals are money will spent, operators and repair manuals will
tell you how to maintain the tractor although I doubt if anyone performs some of the maintenance
items as often as the manuals would have you doing it. The parts book will show you how things
fit together and in which order as well as giving you the part nos. for any parts you need. Parts
manuals can be valuable just to show the part and how it fits in with the others even if you
never use them to order parts. Good luck with your tractor and stay tuned in here.
