1450 rear end leak
 

Pulled the 1450 out of storage and it had a leak from the tube on the bottom. Doesn’t appear to be loose, what is the fix? New tube, seal, bushing? Rather know before I take it apart. Photos wouldn’t upload.

Are you sure??? Very common problems are relief valve leaks and cork gasket. They are above the tube and it could mislead your analysis.

Clean the area well w/some solvent.
When dry, douse the area completely with baby powder and wait.
The leak will leave a trail in the powder leading you right to the leak.
And your Cub will not only thank you but smell good as well! :D

I scrapped a perfectly good rear like that, brand new relined disc brakes, all new seals etc /because I was tired of tripping on it and I offered it here in the classifieds for free even and had no bites.

That sucks..... If I llve near you I'd be over in a minute!

Yup, I second that.

:ThumbsUp:

I will have to clean it some more but after what I whipped off I don’t see any runs coming from above, again I wish it was easier to upload the photos to show you.

IF...........you have a bad Suction Tube (rusted), you can check with Patton or Houtz (our sponsors) at the tabs above, or internet (ie: eBay) for a good used one. It is available new from Cub Cadet, being Part Number #927-3008.

Thanks for the info, I’ll let you all know how it goes.
