Wonder if there is any benefit to putting one higher also. For moisture to "vent" out of that area? I have a couple gear drives that I plan to tear apart this winter, and I think I'll drill them.

I'm in no rush to get this one done and I don't like working in parts washer fluid that is COLD.

I doubt that a vent at the top would do much. Any condensation will go to the bottom anyway.

Got the rear end back together and back in the tractor today. Replaced the funky looking axle tube, new tube gaskets, new cork gasket while I had it out, new axle seals and a set of my braces. Every thing went well. Weather permitting I'll finish up the small stuff tomorrow and fire it up. Think I'm getting way too much practice doing these things, this is the 4th one this year.

The rotors are OEM. The Cyclops supers have them, not sure about the older Supers. No idea why they did that. Not like they get hot.

Cub was thinking ahead. Knew the pullers would want them in a few years!

Or, was it for the drag racers....

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.
