Default Installed rear axle braces

Well I took everyones advice and got the rear axle reinforcements for the 2072. No instructions came with them but its pretty straight forward so I just took the weight off the rear end and bolted everything up. Refilled fluid and now I have a leak at the axle tubes. I installed the thin washers on the outside of the braces, should they be between the brace and the tube? Or am i forgetting/missing something else?
If I'm taking it apart again I want to do it right this time because refilling is annoying and time consuming.

I think you need thread sealant on the bolts so it wont weep out.

I just installed a set on a 1772, I put the washer under the head of the bolt and used little silicone sealant on the threads. No problems.

You can use a vacuum cleaner hooked up to the dipstick tube when you pull the bolts out. The suction will keep the oil from running out of the bolt holes. I use Permatex # 3 on the bolt threads. Clean the threads first with some brake clean.

I like that idea! I’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks

Yep, I use an old vacuum pump for HVAC work to suspend the oil in the rear when replacing a leaking bolt. I use Permatex #2 and torque to 30 ft/lbs. Just make sure the area is clean so you don't suck any junk into the hole.

Will these braces interfere with the SGT cat 0 hitch? Looks like part of the brace mounts where the lower lift arms mount.

I have Diesel Doctors 1772 and it has a 3 point. I will look at it closer and shoot some pictures.

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.
