Cub Cadet Original Leaky tailshaft
Hi all
I gave my Cub Cadet Original all new oil seals in the rear in October 2021 and rebuilt the rest of the trans in April 2022. After that I has absolutely no issues with the transmission at all. That was until yesterday when I was cultivating with it and there was a very constant stream of fluid coming from what appeared to be the tail shaft where the clutch driveshaft meets the arm coupling which leads into the transmission. A drip about every second and when I drive forward then put then put the brakes on, a very steady stream of fluid then back to drips. I replaced the oil seal there with one I bought from NAPA that was a near perfect fit. Fit inside the hole perfectly and fit over the shaft perfectly as well. Has anyone had a bad history with these seals? From what I can tell it looks fine and I know they don't need frequent replacing given that the seal I took off before the NAPA one was the original IH seal. Its also worth mentioning that this tractor would drip a lot when i first got it. If I where to leave it on a cement surface overnight, A puddle of about 5 inches would form underneath it and leak at the same location. After I replaced that seal I had no more dripping but after yesterday, if I where to park it and let it sit on a cement surface for about 5 minutes, a puddle of around a foot to a foot and a half would form. Any ideas? There's no strange rumbling sounds from underneath the tractor and the drive shaft is as straight as an arrow. I have no clue what could have compromised this.

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.
