Hydro rear: CI VS Al
So, I finally had a chance to weigh two trans-axles. Guys are always talking about needing the extra weight of a CI and want to switch from Al. Well, I had an Al one laying around, and I just pulled a CI one. Tried to make them as equal as possible. Both are drained, but still have the filter on. Both have external brakes. Both still have the linkage on them. No drawbars. I have to say, the weight difference was more than I expected. There is roughly 40# difference between the two. While that is a significant amount of weight, I don't think I'm going to go switching rears. I'll just add weights and fluid. Wanted to pass the info along.

That is good to know. I would have thought it would have been of a difference. I have a cast rear that is going into my 1772 this winter.

I'll tell you what i did with one alum hydro. Took the fine spline setup out for a puller and put the old coarse cast setup back in. I change ring gears between the two. Those straight cut gears do make a little more noise than the helical ones. Those coarse cast axle & carriers are a dime a dozen. If it breaks and breaks the housing so be it, i"ll put a cast one in it. Mike

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.
