So, my leak is at the infamous cork gasket between the hydro and the rear end. I've seen a lot of complaints about this gasket, and I'm not sure if there's something better than cork for the replacement. Does anyone make an aftermarket gasket, or are there any homebrew solutions proven to be best?

While I'm ordering that gasket and the new speed control components, are there any other seals or gaskets I should plan to replace? Would hate to get this thing back together, and then find there's some other seal destined to leak. My reading has only turned up this cork gasket as the most common failure.

Thanks,
Rick

Yea, grind up the new cork gasket and just add it to the trans oil, stops all the leaks like eggs in a radiator!!

Just kidding, just kidding!!

I thought there was a "new" material gasket that replaced the cork??

I use the OEM cork one dry and they work fine. I have seen people use other material but the original worked for many years and they are only a few bucks if you buy them from the dealer.

I did find this interesting article on the cork gasket subject:

http://cubfaq.com/corkgasket.html

Not sure where he got that gasket, and I agree the cork worked quit well for a while, but I'm always interested in alternatives.

It's a cub cadet / MTD gasket part # 921-3004 list for $6.74 each. I wouldn't use the prematex. Everything else looks to be great info.

What's the point of using a gasket if your going to use prematex over top of it? When I was at Dana off highway you used the gasket or prematex but never together.

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.
