Cub Cadet 805 Coolant and Engine Notes
| Coolant capacity note | The headline cooling-system number for the Cub Cadet 805 is 2.38 gal (9 L). Buy enough coolant before opening the drain plug |
|---|---|
| Radiator capacity note | For the Cub Cadet 805, the captured radiator capacity is 2.38 gal (9 L). If you are doing a full drain, check the full cooling-system capacity too |
| Coolant type note | Use the right coolant formula for the Cub Cadet 805: ethylene glycol-based coolant. Cheap wrong coolant is not a smart saving if it causes corrosion or deposits |
| Antifreeze mix note | For the Cub Cadet 805, the captured mix is 50/50 coolant and water mix. Straight water is not the right long-term answer unless you are only flushing the system |
| Engine context note | Engine context for the Cub Cadet 805: engine horsepower 20 hp (14.9 kW) and displacement 0.3 L (19.4 cu in). Engine size helps explain why coolant capacity changes between models |
| Refill note | Coolant changes are simple but easy to do sloppily. On the Cub Cadet 805, plan around 2.38 gal (9 L) and confirm the final level after air works out of the system |
