Yeah, that was me. lesson learned. Just a heads up, account for each piece used before buttoning everything back up.
Hence why when I worked on my 147 rear end last spring I cleaned it out with old T shirt material.

I use Berrymam B12 Chemtool carb cleaner spray and red shop rags. Dont get it on you or in your eyes. Count the towels you use and you'll be good.

Toilet brush and a few cans of brake parts cleaner or solvent of your choice and an air hose.

Nasty job no matter how you undertake at it.
Worked for me!

You might be better with cloth rags if paper towels crumble like cheap toilet paper. The kind of cloth rag with bordered edges like mechanic uses. Here's cheapo rags from Harbor Fright: http://www.harborfreight.com/pack-of...els-46163.html

Red shop towel is the best thing since sliced bread, IMO. I get the clean throwaways from the uniform company.

Thanks for the heads up! Unfortunately I have it all buttoned up and filled with hytran so it's too late to double check! I'm pretty sure I didn't leave anything behind though - those blue towels are pretty tough.

Default Well got the nasty wax "stuff"out .LOL

As you can see I got that nasty waxy stuff out. But atlast, you need to know when to say when.
So as you see when I cleaned it up I cleaned it up, inside and out, wire brushed all the paint off, then sprayed the inside and outside down with lacquer thinner then masked it off to spray.

Default how it started.

All of this just for "checking" the frame bolts. Three bolts were tight the 4th was snug as well but with little pressure it snapped. Upon inspection it had been broken about 3/4 across for some time. I couldn't get the broken end to budge in the tractor, seeing that I have external brakes there was no straight shot to the broken bolt due to the brake rotor. Okay no problem drop the rear axle, so draining the fluid is when I found the wax in the differential. Now as said before with the external brakes the Axle has to come out to remove the broken bolt. Oh, I still didn't know when to say when. so I stripped it down for inspection and "refinish".

OH yeah, got a leaky cork gasket too, . Sensuous, yeah sensuous in here, now's the time. So, now I'm waiting for a couple of axle seals, a cork gasket and paint to dry.

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.
