Soooo... I pushed the tractor out of the garage to degrease the front end and frame with my degreaser wand for my air compressor. And I noticed a slippery puddle under the rear. I degreased that area a few weeks ago. It looks like it's coming from up behind the frame, on the right side looking at it from the rear and dripping down over the bolts that hold the axle tube on. Are there seals or gaskets up in there that can be replaced as well?

Post a pic of the leak. I'm thinking your talking about the bolts that hold the rear in the frame. If that's the case just drain the rear, pull the bolts and put some Permatex #3 on them. Do 1 bolt at a time.

Here they are. This was cleaned up and it's already gunked up. I guess there's something to be said about dirt and grime hiding leaks.

Once again I asked a question before really researching it. So those bolts go all the way through? I found a post on another forum about this issue with an 1863. I just changed it two weeks ago, if I drain into a clean container can it be reused? Iguess that'll be next. I'll be reassembling the motor tomorrow night and once that's done I'll move to the rear end and check those bolts out.

OK, 1864 could be leaking from the cork gasket between the pump and the transmission. It could be leaking from the 2 relief valves on the pump. It could be the rear cover and it could be the bolts that go through the frame and axle tubes, yes they go all the way through into the case. Plan on removing the fender pan and gas tank and giving it a good cleaning. They can also leak from the axle seals but then you would see oil dripping from the back side of the disk brakes. Reality is you have a 20+ year old tractor and all of this stuff is due about this time, ask me how I know. You probably wont need to get this involved but take a look at this thread.

Be sure your dipstick tube is tight also.

I will investigate it more with more pictures after I get the front end back together. That's a neat tool you have for removing that deck. Do they have those at Harbor Freight?

Ok, new question. I received my gasket kit today, and took inventory of it. I noticed it has valve cover gaskets that are o'ring style. I did some looking on the google machine and found that they go in valve covers that have a grove. Mine do not have a groove, they had flat gaskets. I don't see valve cover flat gaskets anywhere (yet) for this. Am I going to have to do a valve cover swap now too?

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.
