5. With the terminals pointing
upward, align the tab of the
socket with the notch of the
reflector. Push the socket inward
and turn as follows to lock:
• Left headlight-1/4 turn clockwise.

Tail Light Bulb Replacement
Each tail light assembly has two
lightbulbs. Access the back side of the
tail lights from under the rear fender.
NOTE: Because of the close proximity
of the fuel tank, caution should be
taken when removing the tail light
sockets from the reflector housings.
The bulbs can be pulled from the
sockets and dropped into the reflector
housing, requiring removal of the
reflector housing to retrieve the bulb.
Replace a tail light bulb as follows:
• Turn the light socket counterclock-
wise to align the socket tabs with
the notches in the tail light reflector.
• Once aligned, carefully pull light
socket out of the tail light reflector.
• Pull the light bulb from the socket
and replace with like part.
• Align the tabs of the socket with the
notches in the reflector and carefully
insert the socket. Turn the socket
fully clockwise to lock in place.
Tire Inflation
Keep the tires inflated to the
recommended pressure. Improper
inflation will affect tire life and operator
comfort, and also could affect the level
of the mower deck and quality of cut.
See the tire side wall for proper
inflation range.
Ensure that the valve caps are
securely tightened in place to prevent
air loss and to protect the valve core.
Do not overload the tractor tires by
mounting equipment on the tractor
which exceeds the load capacity of the
size of the tires on the tractor.
Checking Transmission Oil Level
Figure 23
NOTE: Check the oil level only while
the engine is stopped and the tractor is
level.
Check the oil level of the transmission
case before each use to see that it is
filled to the correct level. Before check-
ing the transmission oil level, clean the
area around the Transmission Oil Fill/
Dipstick to prevent debris from entering
the transmission case. Always keep the
oil level between the “FULL” and the
“ADD” marks on the dipstick. When
checking the oil level, the dipstick must
be withdrawn and wiped clean, then
reinserted all the way before being with-
drawn again for a true reading.
Adding Transmission Oil
WARNING: The fluid for your
transmission has been spe-
cially formulated to ensure
the safe and proper opera-
tion of your tractor. Add Cub
Cadet Drive System Fluid
Plus ONLY. Do not use any
other fluid.
WARNING: Never overfill the
transmission case. Damage
may result if the oil level in the
transmission case is below
the “ADD” mark or over the
“FULL” mark of the dipstick.
