Default 1864 after oil seal
Hi everyone.
I had a leaking flywheel side oil seal, so of course I had to pull the engine to gain access. I did that and removed all the covers and man what a mess. It was obviously leaking for a good while.
A lot of buildup that was more like putty than oil. Regardless, I cleaned everything and installed the new seal.
With 667 hours on it I decided to pull the driveshaft to clean both CVs and they were also like putty. I got it all cleaned and reinstalled. After putting everything back together it started and sounded pretty good.
The difference that I noticed, I have a vibration that I never had before. When I removed the bolts holding the engine plate I noticed that a couple were fairly loose. Everything is tight now, could this cause a vibration that wasn't there before? The engine plate being loose would have had some freedom of movement but I'm not sure so I'm asking about this new vibration.

What should I look for? It had no vibration before the engine removal.

A loose engine plate could cause a vibration.

I bought a tractor a while back. It had a little vibration and some noise while it was running. Three of the six engine mounting bolts were missing.

Check the drive shaft bolts.

I guess I assumed your vibration was gone after you put the bolts back tight.

After you check the driveshaft bolts, crank it up and look for run out in the driveshaft.

Thanks folks.
Yes the bolts are tight now.
I thought about the driveshaft as well.
I think I'll pull the center cover and put an eye or two on it while it's running.
I'm going to check all engine mounting bolts too.
Thanks all.

Yeah, I'd be somewhat leery, don't drive it with the cover off, chit can happen pretty fast. DON'T ask me how I know...

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.
