Default 3235 hydrostat
Has anyone torn into the differential unit on their 3200 series? Just wondering what Im in for this weekend when I yank it out and split the halves apart. Also if anyone has a repair manual and wouldnt mind emailing me the teardown and assembly procedures, it would be greatly appreciated. I wont make it to the dealer to get a manual before I start teardown. Gotta keep this tractor running, it is my only mode of snow removal short of a shovel! LOL!!

The other night when I finished plowin snow and was backing into my shed, it just STOPPED. Then when I went forward made this odd scraping sound. Sounds kinda like a maybe a ring gear bolt backed out or something along those lines. After I moved it forward for a little bit, then it seemed fine. But Im not gonna take a chance!

Mine is cast iron. I work as a mechanic, it cant be any worse than some of the cars I work on. I already know the rear fenders and the fuel tank have to come out to get the thing out of the frame. And the axle nuts have to come off the split the case apart.

Tore the trans out of the 3235 yesterday morning, and tore it apart. I found all 4 differential bolts loose!! They were backed out about a 1/2" and rubbing the drive gear. The gear survived, but 3 of the bolts didnt have any head left and 1 was bent. I couldnt believe there was no lock washers or thread locker on these bolts!!!!! Well, they do NOW!!!! All back together and running like new again!!! This trans was VERY simple to tear apart, even without a service manual.

Great news! Glad you put it back together the right way.

Would you have a better set of photos of the plow setup on your 3235?

It looks completely different than the one I have on my 3235

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.
