Default Cub Cadet 123

so i did a hrydo oil change last winter because it froze on me due to the moister in the oil after i did it i had to make the gasket due to the fact that the one i bout got thrown away but after i cut it out and put it on and filled it up it always leaked well this winter i was using it to plow with due to my 127 being down and went to use it one day and it would not move i think it was out of oil so i put what oil in it that i had and it wasn't much so i left it sit pulled it out today to change the gasket and oil and i saw that one of the middle bolt holes was cracked but there is still some threads that give a good bite is this what was causing my leak i also go less then a gallon out of it when i drained it what if any thing can i do about this

I know this will not be a popular answer but on my 123 I used a permatex gasket maker to seal the rear cover. I would think that you could use it atleast around the area that is cracked to help seal it more

I would try the jbweld idea as well ( I actually used this on my 123 to fix a hole in the suction tube ) and it has held up all winter

That most likely happened from not torquing the bolt properly or a bolt that was to long and bottomed out.

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.
