I do agree with Myron, if you have access to the correct gasket I'd use it and prep the surfaces as suggest by him. I wish I could get this dealer about 5 miles from me to stock the older stuff. It's even a bear to get them to order stuff as simple as a gasket because they aren't good at looking up parts for the older stuff. I may have to start ordering stuff in bulk to make it less painful.

OK, got the old gasket off and cleaned off surface on rear end. Had to quit after that...honey-do list stuff. Not gonna use sealer just put the paper gasket on. Hope it don't leak, dealer charged me $17 for the gasket!!

I agree with YosemiteSam, get a new gasket and install on very clean surfaces. I do go back after a few hours of use and re-torque. You'd be surprised how they can need it at times. A flat rear cover is worth checking for as well. Very important....

mirt54,

I have a brand new gasket that I keep and use for a template. You can buy rolls of gasket material much cheaper and make your own. I think I got 3 gaskets out of the last roll and the roll cost about 6 bucks. They're easy to cut...just take your time. Make sure you get a similar material that's approx. the same thickness as the new gasket. I make most of my own gaskets and have for years. A set of hole punches comes in handy too.

Good luck . . . .Wayne

aagitch, I really hate to hear that your local dealer is that way. I don't understand how looking up parts could be so difficult for them it's all in the computer, click on the model, click on the right section of the tractor, and click on the part. My local dealer is great when it comes to parts, they have a LOT of stuff in stock and don't give me a hard time about ordering anything...

Biggest problem I have is "local" for me is 24 miles, one way, and it's in a direction that I almost never go. So I kinda have to order in "bulk" too, just to keep the gas bill down.

I have learned that if I walk in there with the part number on hand, it's much easier for them so I'll have to write down the gasket number and some other stuff.

Last thing I ordered from my local cub dealer were the belts for my 1A.
It's a small family run operation that sells every "real" outdoor tool you can think of.....like having a local "Tractor Supply".
They see me, and dig down the pile for what looks like ancient text that should be in a museum.
Waited three months.....when I saw the belts my stomach notted....The numbers were different than listed online.
He told me they've all changed over the years.
They fit perfect.
Only thing that gets me....They don't stock AGs. And he wants like $145.00/ea for 23-8.5-12 carlisles.

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.
