Mfd Removal: Preparation - Cub Cadet Domestic Series 7000 Service Manual

1.10. The difference in widths is accounted for by the
fact that axle flanges protrude visibly further out
of the housing on the 618-0428 (5000 MFD)
than they do on the 618-0484 (7000 MFD).
1.11. To mechanically distinguish between a Series
7000 MFD and a Series 5000 MFD, rotate the
input (pinion) shaft. Clockwise rotation (looking
at the end of the pinion shaft) will result in for-
ward tractor motion on the Series 7000 (618-
0484 or 618-3207). Clockwise rotation will result
in reverse tractor motion on the Series 5000
(618-0428).

MFD REMOVAL: PREPARATION

NOTE: This procedure can be done on tractors
that are equipped with cutting decks, front-end
loaders, and other attachments. It is not neces-
sary to remove the attachments in order to
remove and replace the MFD.
2.1. Park the tractor on a firm level surface. Lower
any attachments to the ground.
2.2. Place a drain pan under each final drive hous-
ing. Remove the drain plugs using an 11 mm
wrench. Remove the fill plugs using a 16 mm
wrench. See Figure 2.2.
