I am changing fluid and filters hydraulic and hydro-stat on my 7275 can anyone tell me how many gallons of fluid I will need and if case Hy-tran or equivelent will be ok. also I will be using the case-IH filters that Antigonish cross referenced. how many drain plugs will I need to drain? what are the locations? and are there any special instructions? I guess you guys figured by now that I dont have any manuals. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Wish me luck

I recently did my 7234 and ended up buying the Hy-tran. I think the cost was around $37-40 for a 5 Gal Pail, and I bought two pails. Another large equipment dealer that sold Cubs used that and the one I bought it from also sells Cubs so I figured it was a good choice. In my research, Kubota had two Hyd. Fluids, I think they were UDT and Super UDT. They both sounded like good fluids, the Super was better but quite pricey. I don’t have my manual with me but I think my tractor took around 27 quarts for the Tran/Rear End/Hydraulics. Fluid drains are the engine obviously, and I think there were two on the rear end, one on each side. I only had one large Hyd. Filter under the tractor/rear left side but you will have the Hyd. by your feet as well. You need to drain the front axle as well and it has drain bolts on the outboard side of the axle, 10 or 12 MM I can’t remember which. The filler for the axle is a large rubber plug on the right side, probably 1 ½” in diameter. The front axle takes a while to drain and you have to fill it fairly slow while it drains out to the ends of the axle. I think it had two bolts higher up on the end of the axles that you pulled out and when the fluid reached them you stopped filling. Be careful of the little gaskets on each plug. Some of them stay with the plug and others stick to the casing. I put down plenty of paper and a couple of pans. I always seem to make a mess and that is a lot of fluid. I also normally take my time and let it drain sometimes overnight so I get as much of the old fluid out. You should change the fuel filter as well, it is fairly cheap. If you need more specifics email me or do another post.

Hi,
What do I put in the front axle? 90w gear oil or hydraulic fluid?

I think you can use 80 -90 gear oil but they come with the same Hyd. fluid that is in the rest of the tractor.

MajMac has it pretty well covered. Lucy's owner's manual calls for 22litres (23.2 quarts) of STOU oil (whatever that is). Hy-Tran works! I use Shell TD, I think. Used to be Havoline TDH. My dealer told me that Cub says that a little overfilling is OK, possibly preferred, so I use 6 gallons every 200 hours. Drain plugs (15/16") on bottom of each axle and also one facing rear, smack dab in the middle of the rear housing and a little lower that ones on axles. Manual also says a little over a gallon (4.2 quarts) of 85W-140 Gear Lubricant for MFD. I use 80W90, never thought of TDH, but I bet it would drain faster!! That's the slowest part of the servicing, and Macs overnight draining is a great idea.

The Cub dealer I frequent is also Case IHC...Mainly Case. They made inquiries for me with MTD and Case about the interchangability of Case Hytran Ultra and the CC part number oil. I say P/N because that's all the info the CC container has. Anyway the response was that the Case HTU is the same as the CC oil and costs less. Imagine that! They sell it for $34 a pail. The Case and the CC stuff are both made by Viscosity Oil Company. Check their web site. They post info on the Case HTU but nothing on the CC oil. I wonder why? (Ha!) MTD is not really very consumer friendly. Very **** and secretive.
