lUBRICATION
ENGINE OIL -Continued
Keep your supply of lubricating oil absolutely
clean and free from dust. Always use clean
containers. Keep the lubricator clean and wipe dirt
from the lubrication fittings before applying the
lubricator.
TRANSMISSION OIL FILTER
(International Cub Cadet 129, 149, and
169 Tractors)
Remove the throw-away can-type filter and replace
with a new filter after the first 10 hours and after
50 hours of operation, and every 100 hours of
operation thereafter.

gauge -Cub Cadet 86 Tractor
NOTE: Clean the outside area before removing the
filter to keep dirt from getting into the transmis-
sion case. If a mower is mounted on the tractor,
the mower must be lowered to facilitate removal of
the filter.
To remove the filter, turn the filter counter-
clockwise using an automotive type filter wrench
or an open end wrench.
Before installing the new filter I apply a coating of
oil on the filter gasket. Thread the filter on by
hand until tight enough to seat the gasket. Loosen
the filter. Then turn it until the gasket contacts the
base. Tighten the filter an additional one half turn.
Check for leaks and check oil level of transmission
case.
