Sounds like you joined the failed rear end bolt club.
Sorry to hear about the septic problems. Between that and the Cub your having some crappy problems.

image.jpgPicked a bad day to stop drinking............just kidding. If I get this back together it will be a minor miracle. I too was stumped at pulling the differential to get to the four offending bolts. I could see as soon as the case was split that they were indeed the problem. One had backed out and completely locked up the bevel gear. Fortunately the gears are stouter than the bolts and there really does not look to be any damage to the gears. Fingers crossed.
I never did get the axle pulled as it should, but the bolts were so loose that I was able to remove them by using my fingers reaching around the big spur gear. I know this was not the way it was supposed to work, but worked for me. The manual states to place the differential assemble into a vice and to break them loose with a 9/16 socket. Right. I just substituted my fingers! Sure is a lot of work for something that should have never been an issue to start with. I do count my blessings though. Others including some in this thread have had much more damage than myself.

Okay guys, I have a question. I have about 1550 hours on my 3240 and I'm kicking around the issue if I should pull mine and inspect it. I keep telling myself if it isn't loose by now then it should be okay. What do y'all think?

If it was me, I'd pull it apart and replace those bolts. They would go back in with red Loc-Tite and safety wire. Crappy design with only 4 bolts holding it together.

My machine is only in the 500 hour range and was giving absolutely no indication that trouble lay ahead. This being said there is no way to know without cracking the case to take a look see.
For those fortunate enough to have a back up machine you could do this at your leisure. Nothing stinks more than HAVING to make repairs when work to be done doe not wait. As far as adding bolts I would be wary of drilling more holes. Let's not forget you would have to pass through the big 60t ring gear as well. Just my opinion and I haven't even gotten it back together yet. Thankfully I'm one with more than one mower. New bolts, this time with Locktite, should do the trick. One other note. My local CC dealer does not even work on transmissions. He claims people are unwilling to pay the labor involved to have the work done. This is an independent shop that's been in business for close to forty years. After seeing for myself the time it takes I'm sure I wouldn't want to pay shop rates either! Oak, with three times the hours on your machine I wonder if there was a running change at the factory where they were not using Locktite on the threads. Maybe one shift did and the next didn't or they just plain ran out one day. Who knows.

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.
