Ugh...sorry, so used to my hydros. Your new, and I'm slow...hehe.

Its obvious though to get that much water in there, there must be a seal failure or something letting the water in...I dont know how much I would trust a shifter boot either, especially if a tractor is stored outside, with a tarp or not.

here in a few months its coming apart, new gaskets all around. I priced the rear cover gasket ...... 15 bucks so I whent the the TSC and got a roll of gasket and made it. and have enough left to do the rest of the rear end. for 15.00

Excellent idea, I make most of my gaskets myself as well, saves a ton of $$, and time trying to find replacements. This would be a good time to fix up the brake puck and replace the o-ring in there as well. Have fun, I know how rewarding it can be

Hi 4 speed, You will want to pull those axel housings, that's where all the gunk builds up. I have a 582 with a cast rear that i havn't ever opened. Are those fine spline axels in yours? The carrier looks like the heavier cast one. Mike ( PS Oops i posted this while reading page 1, still want to know if those are fine splined axels. Thanks

sorry I dont know if they are fine or not. about the carrier, I called the cub dealer to see if they had the gasket for the cover. I gave him the S/N from it. they had it . so I drove over and it wasn't the right one. I had a pic on my cell phone ,and showed him. he went back to the computer and grabbed another gasket. and said , this one is for the 582 special. thats the one that fit it.

I thought the 582 and the special had the same carrier. I guess not.

The picture you posted of the rear is not one on a 582 Special.The cast one shown would be a 582,unless it was changed in it's lifetime.Does the hood have a 582 Special decal?There is no breather on a gear drive,the water prolly got in through the shifter.The 124 I just picked up has a froze up rear too,waiting for my block heater to come in the mail to defrost it,then I will do what you did.

[4SPEED]

I know it's not a Special, and no Special on the decals.

maybe the the guy pulled up the wrong gasket form the start.

gasket # IH-350837-R3 I google it , it fits a lot of models.

does that model use a brass breather element like on a 82 series hydro? Is it still there and in good shape?

[4SPEED]

I dont see a breather at all. but didnt look very hard either. it snowed last night ,and wanted to go play in it.
