If you replace the seal properly with an OEM seal, then you shouldn't have an issue.

However, it can be difficult to do properly. Seals are very sensitive to installation methods and FOD.

I personally wouldn't change it, if it isn't leaking.

No mechanic, not my day job just a hobby. Just figured since you always one up everyone I would continue the trend, I replace things right the first time all at once so I don't have to do it thousands and thousands :
Time is money as business man I can tell you that, so to save time and save money I do it so I don't have extra work later.

Whatever you think bud. I haven't replaced thousands because I did it wrong..... I've just been doing this for about 20 years. But, if you think you know better...... have at.

But I digress. The OP can decide for himself who knows best, and what's best for him.

You know what would be cool is if a vote could be added to the forum. Vote yes or no for the full replacement or not, see what the majority thinks.

You know what would be cool? If people who don't know answers, or have little experience in mechanical things, just stayed quiet and didn't give an opinion. That would make sorting out BS easier. Like a businessman giving advice on seal replacement.

Seriously.... where do people like you get your arrogance from?? Tons of guys just like you all over the internet. "Oh, I've done that in my spare time as a hobby, so I know as much as anyone who does it for a living." Ridiculous.

Ouch personal attack... there is more than one right way to do things by the way. You aren't always right, and like I said it's a hobby, just like most people on here I'm sure it's not their day job, but we arent idiots also, if you call out everyone who's not a mechanic and say they have no knowledge on these topics you are mistaken. I have had a lot of experience with engines. From small single cylinder to 8 cylinder. It was my personal opinion and belief that you attacked my friend, that good sir who started this thread should know there are many options to consider but I thank you attention and detail to my ablilties and knowledge on ENGINES... not just cubs in general, but you are wrong with your assumption on me. Have a good day.

Sorry I mucked up the thread. I guess in this day and age, mass amounts of experience are only pertinent as long as you don't hurt somebodies feelings.

Yep. More than one way to do things. I fix peoples mistakes all the time. Like the shocks I changed out yesterday that weren't that old, but mounted upside down so they failed. Guy didn't think it mattered which way they went on.


I'll also point out, I wasn't the one who originally said to leave it alone if it isn't leaking. George did. (Another very experienced and knowledgable voice on the forum.) I agreed with him.

That would be irrelevant. People come here for expert advice not a popularity opinion. You can find popularity circles on FaceBook.

I was going to get into this but decided I don't need the aggravation.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
