Bad bearing? Lack of lubricant? Broken gear teeth? Tear it down completely, degrease everything and see why.

That would be my guess. It could also be improper gear mesh caused by worn parts.

i'm going to chime in here on the 90 degree gearbox issue. The first cub i worked on was my father-in-laws 1100 with the same issue, this was years ago of course. i took it out of the tractor and tore it down. bearing was starting to go bad. the gears looked ok, no chips in the teeth and normal wear patterns.
i ordered new bearings of better quality through the distributor i used at work for rebuilding machinery. i knew from machinery work that proper spacing between the pressure gear and bearing on each side had to be within a certain tolerance in order for the gears to mesh properly. too tight of teeth mesh would cause excessive wear real fast, and too loose would create gear lash resulting in skipping and/or tooth breakage. i purchased shim washers of different thicknesses ranging from .01" to .05"(one thousandth to 5 thousandths thick and played with them on each side until proper tooth mesh pattern was achieved. this involved using a layout dye sprayed on the gears each time i test ran the gearbox on the bench with a drill attachment for about two minutes at 1800 rpm. i would then break down the gearbox and observe the wear pattern. once i was satisfied with it, i reassembled the gearbox, pumped it full of grease, and reinstalled it. it is still in the tractor today pulling plow duty in the winter, fitted with full hydraulics of my own design and a heated cab which i built complete with onboard head and backup lights, and yellow flasher. wear patterns to determine proper gear tooth engagement are for the most part a learned talent, stemming from years of rebuilding machinery. there are manuals that show the basics at your local library most likely. 45 degree pressure gears can be tricky to set right, especially if the bearings are of poor tolerance(the spacing between races and actual balls). you can buy a 2 dollar bearing, 7 dollar bearing, or 12 dollar bearing of the same size, you get what you pay for. just my 2 scents worth. thankyou for listening.

by the way, the 1100 also has a peerless rear axle in it, and i've worked the heck out it and its still going, although it is need of some work now as i will slip out of second gear every now and then. i love the 1st gear creeper in the 1100 when using the front blade in dirt.
if used within the limits of the designed purpose, the gearbox/belt clutch setup works great. i would rather break or burn up a 5 dollar belt then strip the gears in the axle.

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.
