My first Cub, first issues
 

I just recently bought a 1572 with a 60" deck. And I must say I have never been happier with the purchase. I've noticed recently that my rear-end is leaking and was curious as to how hard it would be to pull it and replace the seals. Also anything else I should check since I have it apart? Thanks in advanced!

Where is it leaking from? Axle seals, rear cover or frame mounting bolts?

I believe its the axel seals im going to degrease it in the morning and run it to try and find the leak. Will post back when i know for sure. sorry I didnt get back sooner was having issues with the internet

I cleaned everything up and was only able to find just a drop of oil which I believe is coming from this pipe that goes into the front of the rearended. Maybe I'll find more tomorrow after it sits overnight. If this is the leak is there an o-ring in the fitting to be replaced? I don't want to tighten to much and strip the aluminum. Also fixed a water leak and found out this mower has the PTO drive installed(day made) and replaced a tensioner pully on the deck.

In my 125 I had a brass crush fitting in there, but in chasing my leak I found there was a hairline crack in the tube itself. I'd drain the fluid, then pull that tube (it's called the suction tube, I believe). Good luck!
