Default Reduction input shaft Needle Bearing Help

Any tips or proper procedure for installing a new needle bearing for the input shaft on a Cub Cadet 100 transmission. The old bad one tapped out easily with brass punch. I tried putting a new one in the same way and the back ripped off and the needle bearings flew everywhere. I have some big C clamps but not sure whether to push in from inside or from the outside. Any help appreciated.

As you have found out, needle bearing cages are hardened and thin.
Best to install them with a press using a piloted bushing driver.
If you don't have a set or a socket the correct size that will serve as one, or a piece of pipe, they can usually be provided by your local twilight zone or similar auto parts place on a loaner program.
Do insure that it is started straight and never hammer directly on the cage.
LUCK!

So a socket that fits inside the bearing itself and press in that way or one that is the same diameter as the outside of the bearing.

I use a big c clamp and push it in from the back of the housing.
C Cleaner out the hole good with a wire brush in my drill and put a piece of flat stock in the front for the clamp to set on, then press the bearing in.

Fits the outside diameter so it is pressing on all of the bearing cage,not just a small area of the lip,which you found out don't end well

Well after sitting in the deep freeze for 3 days and with some grease and a C clamp this one went in nice and smooth. Thanks for all the help.

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.
