Updates coming,...
Well gang, I have taken a few pictures of where I'm at so far. I have since split the tractor, lifted that heavy transmission away, and put the engine on a stool. I got the transmission taken apart, and right now I'm cleaning things up. There are many points to inspect in the BRSM. However, I'm not planing to take the pinion and ring gear out.
On a side note, I came up with a few parts that I'm going to rattle can-paint on my 1450 starting with the transmission once all of it is inspected and put back together.

I'm waiting to see what you find as a source of the rear end noise......

This is me, the author and OCC member since 2009, of this 1450 adventure thread. I'm trying to locate and find a mysterious noise from somewhere in the drive line or transmission. Pictures maybe many, as they may point out to the more experienced members on part conditions. By the way, that transmission behind me was a heavy cast! After this build, there will be no more heavy lifting for me!
This is a picture of my IH cub Cadet Quiet line model 1450: The serial No. is 2050066U545403* . I believe I have a March, 1975 build date. The tractor came with a decent 50" mower deck. The machine currently is sporting an IH 38" mower deck borrowed from my model 86 IH Cub Cadet. Kind Code: 205 Machine Code: 0065 or 0660 Now the 1450 is starting to loose some weight: Speaking of weight, the model 1450 has an approx. weight of 690# with out operator! When I removed the firewall, I noticed a repair that I will be attending to: It's the fuel tank strap support. I have a replacement on a spare part to use. Here is the Kohler engine on a stand. I plan on cleaning it up some, and removing the engine cradle for a oil pan inspection. ** Engine oil capacity: 3 pints A little about the AQS engine: This tractor series began with an engine that had many upgrades. A few of them were a larger flywheel with increased fin spacing that produced greater cooling capacity. A new Bendix starter provided much more quicker starts in the coldest of winter, and in the summer heat as well. These starters would spin up a good 400rpm! Then the next major improvement would be a alternator installed behind the flywheel resulting in zero battery drain while operating-even at low idle!

Can you describe the "noise"? The hydro is going to whine some when in operation, but I'm guessing you're used to that from your other Cubs. Fresh oil and filter helps with that.

I'd wished I could have made a video of the tractor in operation in hopes of hearing the sound captured. I'll be updating much more tomorrow.

The Final Analysis Is Far From Over
Well, here is a quick shot of the unit before I tore into it. As I study it now, I can see it in a golden coat of shining, yellow paint!
Not the original way to remove the fluid, I was able to retrieve about 90% of the fluid out, making rear cover removal much more of a cleaner job. With the top cover removed, a peek inside tells a story. Clean fluid, and what looks like white wax stuck to the inside perimeter of the casting. This would be encapsulated moisture. By having a quality fluid such as Hy-Tran, removal of moisture is assured! Common to the hydrostatic drive models is a certain amount of heat that develops, thus cooling down after use results in moisture, respectably. ** Transmission fluid Capacity: 14 pints Here, in the picture below, I now removed the hydro pump from the cast iron portion. I was happy to discover how well my previous cork gasket replacement actually sealed up. You might not know it by the picture, but there was not one drop of fluid leaked here. It was stuck well! Axel carriers now removed too. Next, looking through the bearing cage, I try to inspect the made in U.S.A carrier bearings. With my finger, I can rotate them. I do not feel any resistance, flat spots, or any grinding noise at all. No cracks, nicks, obsessive wear, could be found anywhere here, inside the side gears. The same discovery would hold true to the opposite side of inspection. When the time comes to button this unit up, I want to be quite assured it's in sound mechanical condition. So, the story follows with the next group of pictures: Carrier bearing part #: WP14138A U.S.A , #50792R1

Some more,....
I looked at these bearings located at the end of the carrier housing pretty hard as well. They seem to check out good! Here is a short video. Everything seems to be in order here! http://youtu.be/LVsyWho8aF8 I'm planning for some more shop time later today. We got dumped on with around 3" of the white crap. and to top it all off, the sister in-law is coming for a visit....all the more time for me to be in the shop!

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.
