That would be a 10w50?

Is it OK to change the filter and just add an equal amount of hydro oil to refill to the full mark. In checking my records there is only about 200 hours on the existing trans oil.

Thank you.

Just found out that I have a K-46 transmission and I checked at the local Cub dealer and they wanted model number $21 per quart. Does that sound right?

Got a GT 2542 and I am looking to change the oil, filter on hydrostatic transmission. Called the dealer and they wanted model number and serial number on the tractor. All I was doing was looking for the Hydro Oil and if I could use an off the shelf Hydro Oil from Tractor Supply or someone...

I am thinking of replacing my 13 year old Cub 2542. Unhooking and rehooking the mower deck has finally become a chore I no longer look forward to. I use the machine for snow blowing in the winter which requires me to remove the mower and store it and the same goes for the snow blower in the...

Only took about 4 days but the light went out. Thanks for the replies.

Does anyone know where the oil pressure switch is located?

Just checked the lights and the parking brake light is off. The oil light is BRIGHT and fills the indicator and after it starts it is about half power and kind of between the 12 and 3 position in the indicator. I think I will take the suggestions and let it dry completely for the next few days...

I have a 2007 GT 2542 that I bought new. It has the 20HP Kohler motor. I changed the oil and filter yesterday at 404 hours and noticed it was extremely filthy so I decide to clean the motor of debris. I sprayed the motor with a degreaser and then hosed it off. Upon restarting to dry it off I...

Looking at Cub ZT1 42” but am reluctant to take the jump. I purchased a zero turn several years ago and crashed it twice in the 3 weeks I owned it. I have a hilly yard and did not realize that to brake it you had to pull back on the handles as there were no brakes. Has Cub put brakes on the zero...

Posted before about a Cub 2542 with a 42" snowblower and got some good suggestions. Going to try again. Same tractor, same snowblower. Has anyone tried to put a rubber scraper on the bottom edge of their snowblower? If so, what were the results and where did you get the scraper? I have tried all...

I have an older GT2542 that I put a snow blower on for winter. I am a big guy with my weight close to 240 lbs. In addition to the snow blower I have 50 lb weights bolted to each rear wheel and a weight bar with 75 lbs of weight bolted to the rear and me on the tractor. I then put tire chains on...

I have a Cub model 2542 with the Hydrostatic transmission with about 235 hours on it. Do I need to change all of the transmission fluid if I am only changing the spin off filter. Can I just remove the filter without all of the oil spilling out of the transmission?

Just changed the oil and filter plus the transmission filter on a 20hp Kohler Cub model 2542. Its ridiculous what the dealer charges for 1 quart of hydrostatic transmission fluid. What I am looking for is cross reference numbers for the Oil Filter, Transmission Filter and transmission fluid for...
