ended up ordering a new Briggs 24 ELS for John Deere. I did get the Koehler, on the Scott that has no deck, and I will be using it for my tow tractor, now that I know how fragile the transmissions are on the Cub.
Can someone tell me what hydrostatic fluid, or hydraulic fluid I need to the Cub? I figured out where I am getting the fluid leak. It is where the line runs under the fuel tank, and then down through the frame. It has a small cut. While I am in there, I will be installing new lines, a new Odyssey battery, and topping off the hydraulic fluid. Should I change the fluid?
