I would remove the rear cover. To be honest I stopped using gaskets on the cover. I not use ultra grey sealant on them. It is the same stuff cummins uses on there engines because they don't have gaskets on some parts. As long as the surface is clean and dry it works fine. The only problem I have had is sometimes it leaks when you put a tiller gearbox on. Check for metal when you drain the oil.

You can buy gasket material at NAPA, and make your own. I too would pull the cover. After draining, raise the front of the tractor and flush out any residue with brake clean. Then refill with IHC Hi-tran, should be 7 qts. As far as the filter, I would change it too.

To answer the question, it's VERY important to get all of that garbage out of there. No sense doing 1/2 the job and wasting your money. Personally, I'd put another new filter on it too.

That's exactly what I do but I'm too lazy to lift the tractor in the air and just use my fluid gun to suck out as much as possible and then finish with a rag. I use the fluid gun to fill it too so it's already out and going to be dirty anyhow.

I'm also too lazy to make gaskets unless I have to so I buy them from Cub. There's nothing wrong with sealant as a gasket, I just personally don't like doing it (personal preference). The next one I do I'm going to do like a valve cover gasket (hi-tack one side of the gasket and glue it to the cover, then grease the other side before installing) and see if I can get away with reusing it a few times.

Go buy some permatex ultra black, it is without a doubt the best silicone on the market but don't use to much or you'll have to destroy the cover to get it off next time.

I have a chain fall in my shop, so no problem lifting anything. Maxwelhse, what CC dealer do you use around the Fort? The old grease trick, learned that many moons ago from my Father and Grandfather. I also use red hi-tack on some gaskets. If I hi-jacked this thread I apologize.

I have a Buddy that use the ultra black. He has the mind set that more is good, therefore he wastes most of it and usually has it over all his hands and what ever he is trying to seal. Its a wonder with all these new sealers in recent years, how we ever got by with number 1/2 permatex back in the day?

#2 permatex is still my favorite, thin film of it does the job.

That's why I don't like it.. Few people do it right and I've had to clean up too many messes made from it. When I see RTV on a part I immediately dread taking it off (which can be a nightmare) and then finding whats under it.

Myself and other know how to use it correctly, but it just makes me sad... So I don't do it.

That's the best! LMAO. Wonder if you could use bubble wrap instead of plastigage when you check a rod for clearance? The more pop's the tighter it is?

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.
