I am new here and have just bought a Cub 2146. I believe it has an Onan Linamar engine. The mower is shaft driven. Where can I find a carb. for it. Ebay isn't working for me. Also, I want to change the trans axil fluid and filter. What type of fluid should I use?

Part must be looked up via the model starting with 13A. 2146 Tractor 13A-224F100
Cub Cadet part number for the carburetor is ME-146-0701 but if search using just 146-0701 you will find a better price.
Cummings Onan 146-0701 Carburetor
Hydro static oil is 20w/50 SG/CD engine oil or 15w/50 synthetic i.e. Mobil 1.
Personally buying a carb on Fleabay for an Onan engine is worse than a crap shoot, unless you have dealt with the supplier in the past. You have a 90% chance of receiving junk, at a premium price, and will be back at square one. Having worked on Onan engines over the years, it is one engine that doesn’t like aftermarket parts.

Quality & precision costs money
Look at the cost of a mikuni carb fitted to the Suzuki 2 strokes that Toro used
Look at the price of a Khlein carb Kohler used on their horizontal engines .
The problem is you have just gotten used to mediocre to poor quality stuff for so long most have forgotten what quality is and what quality costs.
Add to that Japan is a mature economy that largely is powered by investments , inovations & royalties so they do not need to artifiically maintain the Yen at a low exchange rate compared to the US dollar .
The real cost of most of the stuff from China is about 3 times what you pay for it as the Renmenbi is around 60% undervalued so everything imported from China is way less than it can be made in the USA so all USA manufacturing will collapse and the USA will become totally dependent upon China .
But the good citizens are addicted to getting the lowest possible price and by the time they realize the true costs of all this cheap stuff it will be too late .
