Default 124 rear Axle play...
Hey guys, both of the rear axle shafts move in & out a good bit. I noticed when I push them inward the axle shaft hits the differential pinion shaft?? I don't think they should be in contact with each other. The rear axle seals were leaking and will need replaced, what else should I replace while I'm in there?? I haven't noticed if the retainer rings on still on the axle shaft, but they wouldn't keep the shaft from sliding inward, would they?? Thanks

Sounds normal. I wouldn't worry unless the clips are gone. I would put in axle seals while you are in there.

Matt, what wears and causes that endplay? I'd like to know because my 782 and 1650 do it pretty badly too. Thanks!

They are likely that way from the factory. The snap ring prevents the axle from being pulled out, and the pin for the spider gears keeps the axle from being pushed in. I suppose the end of the axle and pin may wear a bit, but probably not even enough to be noticeable.

Do I could take up excessive play with a washer or 2?

You probably could, but shimming them up will cause the axles to be a little tighter than they are now thus causing more wear on the parts that are already worn a little. Then you'll get more sparkles in your oil causing more wear everywhere else in the transaxle. Go buy a new car or truck raise the rear tires off the ground and there will be some end play there too, I don't think it's worth messing with and could be more harm than good.

Default Rear axle tutorial
Hi guys,
Has anyone done a rear axle tutorial on here somewhere? It sounds like a lot of people could benefit from one. Matt? We always enjoy the helpful things you post on here. Yosemite Sam? Your knowledge runs deep, any step by step procedure? Thanks for all the help you all give us.

Greg

What do you mean by 'rear axle tutorial'? That could potentially cover a lot of things. I replaced the transaxle on my 1872, and had it completely apart, and this is documented on my website. That covers a few things, most of which you wouldn't typically need to do.

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.
