Default HDS 3185 oil in air filter
I have a 3185 with a B/S 18 hp. I am getting oil inside the air cleaner area. It looks like it is coming from the breather tube. Does this mean that the breather assy needs to be replaced or do I have other problems ?

most times oil in the air cleaner means oil is getting past the pistons or breather is bad

Depends on how much oil.... Just a little is normal for an older engine. But a lot, is a different story.

Blown head gasket will also do that.

I don't believe it is a head gasket as the motor is running very good. I have enclosed a pic of the aftermath. I replaced the gasket on the breather and it still is doing this.

Replace the air filter. If it gets soaked with oil, or is too dirty, the engine will "suck" too hard on the vent and draw oil up and out. Air filters are cheap, give it a try.

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.
