Any help? What fluid and how much do I put in the transaxle?

 

Use 24 oz of E.P. Lithium grease (1 1/2 pints).

You can find manuals here:

"Use 24 oz of E.P. Lithium grease (1 1/2 pints)"

I was wondering, because there is a drain plug under the transaxle and a filler under the seat like it takes some type of oil not grease.

 

I am going to do a restore after a few months and might put a honda in it too.

 

I run cub cadet hy-tran in my sons 383 hydro. Is yours red or yellow and white? Where ar eyo uin PA i have and extra 11 briggs from a 382 that will work nice in it. Also we want pictures.

 

It is red, I am in Girard,Pa (10-15 miles southeast of Erie,Pa) It has the drive lever on the dash.

 

If it is an IH built 282, it would be red. The CCCs were yellow and white.

 

I'm south of you near Hermitage. I asked because you said IH cub cadet. If it's red it would be a international cadet. That's cool I really like the red ones best.

 

Here are some pictures (not mine but the same model)

 

These are my sons red 182 and his 382 and 383 hydro. He has a blast with them.

 

These are great tractors!! I also love the red ones!! What oil is equal to the oil you use in your hydro? because I dont have a case dealer close to me. I am going to re paint it in IH red to give it some shine. and :thanku: for the help.

 

Just go to Tractor Supply or Farm and Fleet and buy a gallon of hy-tran. It's like 15 bucks for a gallon it will work just fine in it.

 

Ok, Now all I need is a battery to get it going, After that I will change all the fluids, spark plug, and air cleaner, then I will re-paint it.

 

Also I cant find Hy-tran on TSC.com

 

This is the trans fluid hes talking about at tsc. It's not the real HY-TRAN but the bottle claims it meets the hy-tran spec. Some people swear that you must use the real IH/CASE hy-tran and some others think it doesn't matter. You can read all about all over the internet until your eyes pop out.

No that's rustoleum antique white, It's a lot cheaper than IH or CC paint and coats way better. Valspar at the farm store is a little bit more and coats pretty good it's like $5.50 a can and the rustoleum is 4 bucks a can at walmart. CC or IH paint is 15 bucks a can and not worth it. The last can I bought from the dealer was the wrong color in the can when I went to use it, and they wouldn't take it back because I used it. I asked how I was supposed to figure out that it had the wrong color with out spraying it. He said that the have a no return policy on a can that has been sprayed. Needless to say that was and will be the last can of paint I buy from the CC dealer. Here's a couplr picture's of his deck I restored a couple months ago and I used valspar IH white on it.

 

I just buy mine at the store so I'm not sure about online.

 

I will have to look at my cub cadet dealer for hy-trans, My TSC has the IH paints in both colors for $5.50 a can so I think I will get that (want to try to keep it original on paint) I also plan on putting Ag's on the back and the ribbed on the front.

 

Here it is. It's the one on the left. It's all there. I will take a couple better shots of it tomorrow and post them for you.

 

Ok :thanku: And :thanku: for all the help with my first red cadet!!

 

No problem.

 

Thats why I love this forum!!:fing32::dancingpa
