Tuff torq recommends to use 5w50 full synthetic in the k46. Also the cap you removed isn't the fill. That was the vent cap. The fill plug is the flat rubber plug halfway under the pulley

[@Mike-su8si]

This ones not the same transaxle as mine mine has a black vent tube on the right side in the back it's also the fill tube I looked it up ats what it said it is When I was reading about mine it said to use 2 and a half bottles of 20w50 synthetic transmission fluid so that's what I'll be getting

[@Mike-su8si]

I've not seen one video of anyone doing any of my kind of transaxle transmission with the black breather tube that sticks up on the right side in the back I'm gonna use my shop vac to get most the old fluid out of mine

By 2003, they were no longer concerned about building a machine that lasted forever. They were not as good as 20 years prior to 03.

My 2003 is a 1525. All cast iron front and fabricated deck. Twin cylinder. Still runs perfect after 20 years. I did replace the belt every 4 or 5 years and replace the transmission belt this year. Did have to finally buy a new seat.

[@roger7943]

I just did the same job on the same mower. You can access the fill plug/vent by just removing the battery.

[@leberude]

This is exactly the same problem I am having with my Cub Cadet riding lawn mower, same side. The video is very helpful. Now I know what to do to access the transmission.

[@andyderby150]

I got the same tractor and had it over 2 years, still looks new, it pulls my 300lb butt around fine , I do this weird thing to it that keeps it going it’s called MAINTENANCE!! You don’t use this and throw it away like a paper towel, it’s a few thousand dollar investment.

[@billshepherd5090]

I bought a Cub Cadet because everyone I talked to said it was the best. I went to Lowes and bought an XT1. I am not very happy with it. I always have to do something 2 or 3 times in the mowing season. This year to even get it started I had to replace the solenoid. There are so many “safety” precautions everything has to be just right for the stupid thing to work.

Mower looks brand new after it was pressure washed! Nice video!

[@misterwirez7731]

At official cub cadet dealerships, they sell the XT2. It comes with bearing wheels a heavier axle, a bigger battery, armrests, turf master tires, bigger engine, plus more. The XT2's are not sold at the big box stores like Home Depot.

[@ncstatefootball]

Thank you for your knowledge and making this video. I have same mower and same problem. I replaced the drive belt and didn’t solve the problem. That’s when i found your video. I bought a hoist from harbor freight and made me a beam out of (12) 2x4s to hang it from. I couldn’t get one of the back wheels off which made it a manor pain but 2.5hrs later i had it all done. It didn’t take off right away but after a minute it did. Guess it needed to build up pressure or something. Thanks so much for helping me! Saved me a ton of money!

[@terryfromsouthcarolina4601]

I just bought that exact mower last week. It was relatively cheap (2k!) But my 1983 Wheel Horse was having fuel delivery problems and I was a bit desperate for a mower. I had a hydrogear on a Murray that lasted just over 20 years. It just got to where it wouldn't pull so I pulled it out, disassembled and cleaned it up. No signs of oil leaks and other than parts being polished from use no real reason that it wouldn't pull. Brought my micrometers and bore gauges home from work and found no appreciable wear anywhere. What did strike me as odd was the two halves of the case were not machined! They still had casting pimples and flash on the mating surfaces and specified grey silicone as a seal. Anyways I put it back together and it still didn't pull so it got retired. 20 years isn't shabby I guess and my yard is moderate sized with some wicked terrace rows so while not abused it got no quarter either. You can imagine my reaction when I saw the exact same mower I just bought being a star in a not so flattering KZbin video. I'm glad it started pulling again with the oil topped up. I'm also relieved it was a 2015 so I know I have a few years, LOL! Thank you for the video, taking the time to prepare for and edit one. Terry from South Carolina

I have more people shoot me offers for that lawnmower then I can honestly tell you. It was my dad’s he still alive he’s 87 so it’s pretty sentimental

[@Thomas-ul3uy]

Just repaired a older Cub Cadet that what owner thought needed was a wheel seal. It did need a seal, but the bushing just inside the wheel seal was worn out. At least it was a mostly steel Cub Cadet. It has the Tuff Torq transmission also, this one looks the same, that is the vent cap on the back side of transmission.

Bob, you turned that tractor into new condition! I know you've been very busy, but always great to see your videos. Hope alls well with you and your family! 🇺🇸Roger

[@VildsBuilds]

That's the vent you tore open, not where your supposed to put the oil. Closer to the front of the tractor, and down lower on the trans is the plug for the fluid level. It fits like an oil seal, but is just a blank plug. Same side as the vent. To fill the transmission to the proper level, pry this plug . then add 10w30 motor oil, not sticky 50, until the level is halfway up the magnet sitting up top, vertically. This magnet just sets in the cast grooves, make sure not to dislodge it when filling. Do the right axle seal first, then when the wheel is off for the left side, pull the battery and you can pry off the cap , fill the axle, and replace the cap (new) , stick the wheel on and forget it. Trans is bled, right level, ready to go.

[@cornwasher]

On the Cub Cadets some guys pull the battery, remove the support brackets and access the fill plug from the battery chamber. The axle seal is about $8.00 from Cub Cadet. I think they fill the tranny with hydraulic fluid or tranny fluid.

[@Wmbrunos]

Great information. I am trying to figure out why my transmission won't disengage. Replaced the brake connection but ever since I cannot disengage so that it will freewheel. Wondering if the brake is to tight or whether I missed something. The lever is attached.

[@staind288]

Tuff torq recommends to use 5w50 full synthetic in the k46. The fill line is 3/4in below the lip OF THE FILL PLUG, not vent cap. Also the cap you removed isn't the fill. That was the vent cap. The fill plug is the flat rubber plug halfway under the pulley

[@XloMotion]

There's also a level if you fill it thru the vent. The information is on the tuff torq manual for the k46

[@staind288]

@@XloMotion the service manual for the K46 I got from tuff torq didn't have that info. It was specific to not use the vent cap due to not being able to get the fluid out (when draining) and because you typically can't reseal it without buying new.

One way Is To Get Your Wheel Off If STUCK On The Axel, Is To Drill 2 Holes opposite Each Other On The Wheel / Hub Itself . ( Meaning The Tire Rim ) Near The Centre Axel . Use 2 Bolts And Nuts, And Use A Puller To Remove. Maybe Apply A Bit Of Heat At The Back Of The RIM To Help

I have never seen brass bushings in any cub cadet or MTD lawnmower. They've been using the plastic bushings since the 90's on the cheap stuff. My 90's 2000 series all have actual bearings in the front wheels. As does my 2006 3000 series. You get what your buying with lawnmowers just like everything else.

You don't need a jack the mower up, if the battery is underneath the seat just remove the battery and battery box it pops right out to check your fluid. there there's no reason to tear your lawnmower apart to do it. When you change the fluid you have to run it and purge the air and then check it and make sure the levels right you can't do this when the transmission is all ripped out of the bottom of it

[@garyh.8082]

Have a 2015 bought from Home Depot. After about 2 years both axle seals started leaking. I replaced them both and refilled the transaxle with Castrol synthetic 5W-50 oil. The Tuff-Torque transaxle is supposedly non-serviceable but you can fill through the vent cap. They also make a drain plug kit, but you have to drill and tap the lower housing. All in all I like my Cub Cadet xt1 42" cut, but I'm hearing the Kohler Courage engine is good for 300 hours or so. Keep the oil and filter changed sooner rather than later.

[@jjwalker2011]

How's it holding up using 5w-50?

Make sure you put the plastic spacer with the star end toward the transmission. Its make to keep pressure against seal somewhat.

The Only Thing That I Thought Was a No No Is That You Pulled On The Tire Fairly Roughly A Few Times. That Can Lead To Pulling The Shaft Out Of The Transmission. The Axel Shaft Is Held In By Circlips And If You Pull Too Hard You Can Pop The Circlips Off And The Axel Will Pop OUT. Then You Have Major Problems, Then You Would Have To Pull The Transmission Completely Out, Then You Have To Split The Transmission Casings And Fix It. This Is A Big Job To Do, I Have Done This Before and It's NO FUN. There Are A Hundred Parts Inside These Transmissions ( Maybe Exaggerating a Bit ) But A Hell Of A Lot Of Little Parts. You Don't Want To Mess With Because You Can Absolutely Stuff It Up, Then You Will Be Paying a Mower Mechanic To Fix It @ $100 An Hour...
