Things to get into while I have the rear end out of my narrow frame?
I'm curious to know from those who've had lots of experience with these cubs. I've got the rear end out of my cub. Last night I pulled the axles to replace the axle seals.
And I went ahead and pulled the creeper drive off the front of the transmission. I'm glad I did, because it's lube situation was not good. More water than oil. No metal shavings. So I think it'll be OK with some fresh gear oil. I'm going to go ahead and replace the o-ring, input shaft seal and gasket for the creeper. The brass gear and roll-pin on the input shaft of the transmission look OK.
I haven't pulled the front cover all the way off the transmission. But I'm debating if I should so that I can get in an check the wet-brake lining. As well, I'm not sure if there's any other things I should go ahead and do while I'm in this far.
Also, is it a good idea to replace the axle retainer clips even if the originals seem OK?
