Cub Cadet 122 Coolant and Engine Notes
Coolant capacity note
For the Cub Cadet 122, 0.93 gal (3.5 L) is the main coolant capacity captured. Use it as a refill planning number, then confirm the final level at the machine
Coolant type note
Use the right coolant formula for the Cub Cadet 122: ethylene glycol-based coolant. Cheap wrong coolant is not a smart saving if it causes corrosion or deposits
Antifreeze mix note
The 50/50 coolant and water mix mix gives the Cub Cadet 122 coolant system a sensible balance of freeze protection, boil protection and corrosion protection
Coolant change interval note
The captured coolant change interval for the Cub Cadet 122 is every 2 years. Old coolant can lose corrosion protection even if the tractor still runs cool
Engine context note
The Cub Cadet 122 engine data captured here is engine model K301, engine horsepower 12 hp (8.9 kW), and displacement 0.5 L (29 cu in). Bigger engines usually need more coolant and more careful refill bleeding
Refill note
Coolant changes are simple but easy to do sloppily. On the Cub Cadet 122, plan around 0.93 gal (3.5 L) and confirm the final level after air works out of the system
