Cub Cadet 100 Rear Axle Endfloat
Hello Everyone,
I am a young IH enthusiast and got my first tractor, a Cub Cadet 100, from a fellow member of my tractor club. So far I have disassembled the wheels, the hood and front grille and several ancillary components. I plan on doing a full restoration on this tractor. I have a question about the rear axle endfloat, the left hand side was excessively dirty compared to the right which tells me there was a leaking oil seal. Rocking the hubs in and out, the left side hub moves 1/16th of an inch and the right side hub moves about half of that (1/32nd of an inch). This is a rough estimate done with a ruler, as I don’t have a set of micrometers or dial indicator gauge yet. Does this sound excessive, and how can I tighten it up? I do have new seals from IHCCW, but not sure if I need new bearings or dive into the transmission. I have a separate issue with the transmission (some gears don’t engage with the clutch pedal depressed), so I might have to rebuild the whole transmission anyways. I appreciate your help!

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.
