Inspecting Ball Joints
1. Inspect the upper and lower front A-arm ball joints
on each side of the vehicle and the two tie rod ends
for wear every 100 hours or once a year. See Figure
11. If excessive wear appears, have ball joints or tie
rod ends replaced by your local Cub Cadet dealer.
5. Check O-ring on drain plug and replace if missing or
in poor condition.
6. Install and tighten drain plug.
IMPORTANT: Dirt and debris in oil may cause damage
to transfer case. Clean area around opening before
removing oil cap.
7. Remove oil cap and add approximately 64 oz of
80W-90 Shell Dentax Low Foam Oil .
NOTE: If necessary, you may remove the fill level plug to
assist with determining the level to which the transmis-
sion may be filled. See Figure 9. When oil begins coming
out of fill level opening, the transmission is full. Replace
fill level plug when finished.

order to change the vehicle’s drive belt. See your Cub
Cadet Dealer to have your drive belt replaced.

once a year for oil leakage. See Figure 10. If exces-
sive oil leakage appears, have shocks repaired or
replaced by your local Cub Cadet dealer.
