Default Internal or external?

Getting ready to purchase a rear end for my 1250. I have the choice of an internal or external brake rear end, same price. Im thinking about the internal brake rear end so I won't have to worry about wheel offsets. My question is do most internal rears have fine or course splines? I hear the fine spline is better for pulling.

The only CI rears that have fine-spline axles are the early CCC-production ones that were made during the 82 series. All IH-built CI rears have coarse-spline axles.

Do you think a coarse spline will hold up for pulling? I plan to put a lot $ in this rear and would hate for it to break an axle

John,

Are you buying a gear drive rear end? The reason I'm asking, is because I've heard the hydros aren't the best for pulling.

Run it till you break it, then upgrade to a 7.25" chrysler carrier and axles.

Will the 7.25 carrier and fit inside a cub housing, or would i need to buy a complete diff. instead of buying a cub rear end? I just want my money "well spent".

It will fit into the cub cadet transaxle with minor modification. Read here for more information on doing that swap: http://garden tractor pulling tips.com/transaxl.htm#rearend (remove the spaces from the url) Anyone trying to build a puller for the first time should read his entire website, it's been extremely beneficial to me.

Be careful with that website. There is a LOT of incorrect information in the transaxle section with regards to which tractors and models came with fine spline axles and which size fine-spline axles. I don't trust the driveshaft lengths he provides, either...they have led me astray more than once.

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.
