Seals are a SKF 6903. Bought from CCS.
It is hard for me to imagine the seals are that poor. They looked just like
all the others I have put in. It is a head scratcher for sure.

You mentioned in post #40 that you had a driveshaft wobble. Makes me wonder if your input shaft may be slightly bent. Did you check it for RUNOUT after you assembled it? Could have been dropped on shaft and caused a slight deformity.

I believe the shaft wobble was from the coupler. It seemed the shaft
in the creeper itself ran true. Can you help me understand the
exact meaning of the word Runout?

Using a dial indicator against the edge of shaft you turn the shaft and watch the needle for variation. Turn the shaft till you come to the location with the least reading and record that number. Then turn shaft till you come to greatest reading and record that number. Difference between two numbers will be the runout of shaft at measurement point. You need to take measurement as close to problem area as possible which in this case is as close to seal mating point as possible.

I always thought "runout" was when ewe wuz fixing on something in the barn,
and the morning coffee has made it's way through yer kidneys and you had to "runout" behind the barn and drain it off before it was too late.

Could a wet fart be considered runout?

Runout to me was when I looked in the shop fridge for a malted
beverage and realized I had to drive 40 miles to refresh the supply.

Thank you for the real definition that explained it clearly.

I replaced all the O rings including the big one. It is for sure leaking
at the shaft.

Took the new creeper install and freshened up clutch for it's
first ride since tearing it down months ago. All went just dandy.
The creeper is going to do exactly what I hoped it would. I can now pay
attention to not hitting things while mowing shrub and tree lines. Instead
of flying through it.
Thanks to all who helped me get this project finished up. I wonder
what the next task I dream up will be?

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.
