Default 72 transmission noise
Hi guys,

I just aquired a 72 and it has a noise coming from the transmission area. I am more of a hydro guy and this is my first gear drive, so I'm needing some advice.
The noise sounds like a bearing rumble. It stops when I press in on the clutch and starts when I let it out. It's there when I am moving and when I am in neutral with the clutch engaged.

Thanks, Joel

Possibly the reduction drive bearing? Is the noise coming from where the drive shaft connects to the reduction drive shaft? You're going to have to drain the transmission and remove the rear plate to narrow down where the noise is coming from. It'll give you a chance to see what kind of shape the rear end is in. If it's something in the rear, hopefully you can get to it from the back. If it's further forward in the tranny, you'll have to split the tractor to get to the reduction drive housing.

Joel check out your teaser spring. I bet it's real jumpy when you let out the clutch. It might be the throw out bearing.

It is very jumpy and almost no pedal travel. So maybe the remants of the spring rattling around the shaft?

Time to pull it and see what's going on with it.

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.
