Charlie, justed noted on specs for the 100 a listing that says 'AMA rating for TAX PURPOSES', Duh???...Whats that mean?? (I'm just a city boy, maybe it means something in the farm area) A.
Brian L.,
If you're changing out the hydrostatic fluid on your cub, you'll likely need about 9qts, nearly 2 gallons.
Here's a link to more info in the FAQ section: https://www.ihcubcadet.com/IHCCFAQ/HytranChange.htm
If you have a IH/Case agricultural (AG) equipment dealer around, you may be able to get it from them for less money than buying it by the quart from your CC dealer.
What I did: I gave my local IH/Case AG dealer a call and ask if they have HyTran Ultra tractor fluid for sale. They did. I asked if I could just buy a couple of gallons. They told me if I brought in my own jugs or pail, sure; it wouldn't be a problem. I took over a clean 5-gallon pail equipped with a spouted lid. They pumped the HyTran Ultra out of their bulk tank and into my pail. I was able to buy it for their bulk-rate price, less than 9$ gallon. They also sold me a good quality FleetGuard #6096 hydraulic fluid filter too. Don't forget to change your filter as well!
It worked for me! Good Luck!

Ryan W :
Thanks for the info. I just changed my Hy Tran (new filter & gasket too). I got mine from the CC dealer because they're a mile from my house compared to about 25 miles to the Case/IH dealer.I probobably could have gotten a better deal at the IH dealer but by the time that I got around to getting up there......
The operators manual for the 125 says that it holds 7 qts of Hy Tran and I got about that much into it. I figured on running it around a little bit to fill the filter, pump, etc. and then re-checking the level. Brian L

Myron B.,
Thanks for catching & correcting my error.
Brian L.,
Sorry for the mis-information.
Glad to hear the fluid change went well with your 125. Yep, just as it takes a while for the fluid to drain out of the axle tubes, past the side bearings, it'll take a while for it to work back past the bearings & back into the axle tubes. I've been told to run it with the tractor jacked up off the ground to keep the load to a minimum while the fluid gets worked back into the axle tubes, although I don't know it that's critical or not. Probably after 5-10 minutes of running and you'll be fine to check it again. Happy Cubbin'!

Nope,
Neither is the matching scarf.

I need help with a 149. The transmission will try to engage while starting the tractor. Once started it works great. I have cleaned and replaces the control valves but the unit continues to move when starting. Is it time for a transmission rebuild? Where can I get the parts required?
Differential on the 125 didn't look too bad. Just got it a couple of weeks ago so I decided to change the Hy-Tran. Don't know how long since it was changed last but the filter was an IH type with the nut extrusion on the top. Do they still make these? I used a CC filter. Brian L

Just to keep it close to on topic

Looking at the rear end reminded me. Since the cubs have diffs like autos is there or has anyone heard of putting in a diff locker. They got ones for autos that are electric or vaccume actuated. Or even one of those posi set ups that release around corners using springs/clutch
