finally got a chance to work on the Cub again. All went well this time. Took the back cover off the rear end and drained all the old fluid out and cleaned up the sludge on the top part of the housing with brake clean and heavy scott towels. This is the first rear that I have had that sludge in. Changed out the hydro filter with a new Cub one that is white not yellow. All the ones I have had have been yellow. Guess they made a change recently.
When I installed the back cover I have always had problems with the gasket seeping fluid on many occasions. This time, I put a thin layer of black RTV on it and let it set up for a week before I filled the rear with Hytran. Hopefully no leaks!! This was the moment of truth when I fired it up to mow. All is good-no chattering. I assume the new Hytran was the trick. Thanks for all your guys input. What a huge help. Surely thought I was replacing the pump with another one!!

Speaking of sludge, when I went thru my trans axle the axle housings were full of crap also. Bearings were good ,so new seals, gaskets , and hy-tran was all it needed.

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.
