Cub Cadet Model 123 Suction Tube and Leak
Hi everyone, I recently replace my 123's suction tube. The original tube was one piece and circled up above the tranny. The replacement I used was two pieces with three fittings (one to couple and the other two to insert and affix to the transmission).
The original tube collapsed on me as I was try to prevent it from leaking. I could see the leak was at the bottom fitting, and did not know the tube was so delicate - so, I had to replace it. To my knowledge there was no other leak on the transmission - not one drop... And, of course, now....I have a good leak and cannot figure out where its coming from - and am so very hopeful its something simple... After I replaced the suction tube, I also replaced the filter and fluid. The filter was tightened by hand, as tight as I could get it, and I do not see it leaking anywhere. After I added fluid, I drove the tractor for about 5 minutes, then added some more fluid. I used a funnel with a small taper end, and know I added fluid above the plug hole (at least a small amount). Is there a breather at the top somewhere allowing too much added fluid out? Or have I messed up something else? It did sit without fluid in it for a few weeks until I could get to the repairs - did I dry out a gasket? I am pretty dismayed here - any help from anyone is much appreciated...

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.
