I use brake cleaner because it evaporates completely with no residue. If you wipe the inside of the case out before the brake cleaner dries, you'll have a perfectly clean surface. Degreaser doesn't evaporate, and most are water-based, and you don't want water in there...that's what caused all those globs of crap.

All right Matt, thanks. I'll go get some brake cleaner. I'll have some after pics. It'll be a few days though, working swing shifts.

Default Rearend/axles/tubes

You'll need new gaskets for the axle tubes and new axle seals, but I think it'd be worth it, and you're halfway there already.
Matt (and anyone else),
So what all is involved in removing the rearend, axles/tubes? Is that described in the Service Manual and any helpful hints would be appreciated.

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.
