ENGINE OIL
Lubricate the entire tractor, using only high
quality lubricating oils and greases as specified in
the "Lubrication Table". For your own protection,
select only oils and greases of recognized manufac-
ture.
The engine crankcase is filled with ship-away oil.
This oil may be used for the first 30 hours of
engine operation at temperatures between +90
degrees F. and 0 degrees F. If temperatures are not
within this range, drain the oil from the crankcase
and replace with new oil as specified in the
"lubrication Table". The engine oil must be
drained and replaced with new oil every 30 hours
of engine operation.
Regularly check the oil levels of the engine
crankcase and transmission to see that they are
filled to the correct levels. NOTE" Check the oil
level only while the engine is stopped.
NOTE: On the Cub Cadet 86 Tractor the oil filler
cap has the oil level gauge attached and is located
on the right side of the tractor.
We recommend I.H. No. 1@ Engine Oil. If other
than I.H. No. 1@ Engine Oil is used, it must be
designated "For Service MS". In new API Code
these oils are usually designated as meeting either
SO or SE requirements.
NOTE: On all other models the oil filler cap and
gauge is located on the gear cover on the left side
of the tractor.
Always keep the oil level between the "FULL" and
the "LOW" marks on the gauge. When checkingthe
oil level the gauge must be withdrawn and
wiped clean, then inserted all the way and with-
drawn for a true reading.
To aid starting, the selection of crankcase lubricat-
ing oils should be based on the lowest anticipated
temperature until the next drain period. See page36.
