followup on first oil change for '66 cub

Posted by souNdguy on August 24, 2003 at 19:44:03 from (12.92.0.97):

I got home today at about 5:30 after taking care of some business in town, and decided to go get started servicing the cub. Oil change went well.. filter wasn't even too bad.. ended up getting a fram C235.. I managed to cross the IH number on the fram website. Our local TSC store only caries fram filters.. and the local napa / carquest were closed today, as well as the case/ih dealer in town.. so i was stuck with tractor supply. Had time left over, so I serviced the tranny, and the steering box, and the oil bath hub on the fan, oil cup on breather, etc. Greased all fittings, then started to look for the final drive drain fill ports. By this time it had gotten dark, and I was working by barn lights, and was having a heck of a time finding the fill/drain ports as indicated in the owners manual.. then it struck me that the belly mower attatchments were probably covering it up. A quick look with a flashlight onthe left side showed an inverted threaded plug.. where I had been looking for a standard square plug like the tranny and steering box had.

Tomorrow after work, I'll go drop the belly mower and the drawbar, and hopefully the right side will be evident.. as I couldn't see the plug on that side either..

Any helpfull hints? I take it the plugs are not in the same exact location ( as the left ) on the right side?

Also need to do the radiator tomorrow as well, and the genny oil cup.. then she'll be good to go.

One last question. I'm guessing the pto gears are in the same oil sump as the tranny.. so iwas wondering why there was a grease fitting that looks like it is for the pto output shaft.. shouldn't that seal/bearing be lubricated by the tranny oil?

Thanks all. and as usual, comments or tips are greatly appreciated.
I'm glad I finally got the manual.. I've been wanting to service this machine for 2 weeks now so that I can start using her.. but didn't want to work her untill completely serviced.... glad I waited.. oil was dark.. but didn't seem too gas thinned.

New 30wt oil popped up the oil pressure a bit too... that was welcome.
