Sorry for not posting any more pics yet. Just haven't had time. By the response, I might be taking some portraits with my cellphone camera. It perfectly hides all of the nicks and scratches. I just ran to the local cub dealer and ordered a bunch of parts. Throttle cable, rear end gasket etc. I also ordered up the new axle seals and bearings as well as the gaskets between the axle carriers and the tranny like Elephants1772 suggested. Only a couple of bucks and "I was going to be in there anyway."

Question: If i pull the axle tubes off and replace all of the seals and bearings in them, do I have to preload/check backlash when I re-assemble? I have the service manual but I am confused if I am supposed to do that just for taking off the axles.

As long as you do not remove the carrier you should be good. I am replacing the axle tube seals ( inner and outer ) and the outer axle bearings on mine. since I did not remove the carrier it should not have moved,so it should be fine.

Thats what I was hoping for. Is there a trick/tool for removing the outer axle bearings? I see in the service manual it shows a slide hammer with fingers. Tools I don't have and would prefer not to purchase.

I used a socket and long extension that was just smaller than the shoulder the bearing seats on. Then gave it a couple wacks, they came right out.

Or if you can't do the socket, I'd use a punch, and jsut make sure you don't get it in a bind, Tap in circles, going round and round.

Yea, while your doing it a once over, might as well do it right.

That's why I changed the seal, plus mine were leaking. :P

Thanks
Cody

I use a slide hammer to pull the seals, and then I knocked out the old bearings with a socket, pushing them through to the inside. I obviously did this with the axle tubes removed.

FYI, it may be a three-ring circus to get that axle tube off with the rear in the tractor. I think Elephants1772 may have had an easier time doing it because his tractor's frame is pretty badly broken. The easiest thing to do would be to just pull the rear.

Matt, I was looking it over tonight and it doesn't appear to be too difficult to remove the tubes....but that is coming from absolutely no experience. I talked to a friend of mine who's father in law worked at OTC in town here for 30 plus years. He was going to ask if he had the puller tools to pull the bearings with a slide hammer. If i can't acquire the tools, what is so difficult about pulling the axle tubes? I am concerned about removing the rear just because I don't have the tools to set the preload...or the knowledge. Anyone want to come to Minnesota to help?

No preload or none of that....just pull the axles......

Curious? what's wrong with your bearings? Are they bad?

The one item that will likely outlive you and it seems there is a rash of folks lately that think they need to change them...

Why are you not changing your carrier or inner bearing too while you are at it?

Scott


Edit....

BTW I've got 236K miles on the axle bearings in my truck.....still ain't givin me no troubles....

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.
