To me it would be a great time to check your drive shaft and pins and bushings while replacing the fan. Not a difficult job.

the correct thing to say is you should replace fan so as not to overheat pump. i say its probably been broken for the last ten years and you could probably take a few more blades off without noticing. if it were me ide check pins like mentioned and if all tight button it back up but then my yard is less than an acre of flat terrain so my 105 doesnt strain.

It's a 10 dollar fan and preventative maintenance helps prevent larger problems down the road. Replace the fan in about 30 min. and check that off your to-do list along with checking pins and connections.

I would stick with hytran you can get it at farm and fleet I do believe I know farmking here carries it. Somewhere in the range of 20 bucks for a gallon iirc. Not a bad price for the extra insurence ...afterall that is what they call for

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.
