This is a great thread, but I also don't want to thread jack it.

I also have a Cub Cadet, 1315 and I love that tractor. I consider it one of the last respectable tractors built

My issue is with the trasaxel like I was saying. Its a long story, but I had a child running across the street when I was coming downhill in my Cub. I was unaware my father had been using it and the brakes needed to be readjusted. So I had no brakes.

Bottom line I had to slam the tractor in gear will rolling at about 12-15 mph. The trans lost, and blew its guts out the bottom. This tractor is one I plow snow with so this is going to be a two part question.

First can you bolt up a heavy duty transaxle to the cub1300 series? Which ones if you can? And is there a write up, but Ill do it if there isn't.

Second. With the tractors so hard to find anymore does anyone still carry or know how to locate a transmission for the 1315?

Thanks for any help anyone can offer. You guys have a great site

Welcome to OCC! Good luck with your cub.

Thanks guys. I'm hoping to find a scrapped tractor laying around somewhere. This isn't the first transaxle I've taken out. The original was fell victim to a blizzard and took a couple of teeth out of second or third gear. That was a number of years ago and I bought a scrapped Cub for the transaxle. But now they aren't really available like they were.

That's why I'm trying to look for more options.

Awesome, thanks for the information, and leads. I just don't want to have it cost an arm and a leg. In order to replace the last one I broke I bought a tractor for a great deal. and used it for parts.

While on the subject, I use this tractor to plow snow and to haul a cart around the yard. I don't have any experience with the way the Cub's hydro trans was, but I have stayed away from them since we got a cheaper Scotts. MTD, John deer tractor. Their hydro's are crap. How were the Cubs in the 80's? Are they any good? How are they in pulling/pushing power? Like I said, snow and cart pulling. So Im also looking at the hrydro versions as well if I can't find anything.

Any of the Cub GT's with a hydro are pretty stout up to about the mid 90's I prefer those with the Sundstrand hydros, just my 2 cents. You may be better off looking for a good used GT rather than fixing what you have. Holler if you have questions.

I wasn't aware that Cub made any "real" GT's between the mid 80's though the early 90's. Are were they made on that 12-1700 frame? Like I said I use the tractor for plowing snow, dirt and pulling, and I have the plow I would like to keep and reuse. Would it be wise to upgrade to say a 1720 Hydro unit? I just wasn't sure how good the hydro units were in the 80's. On my lawn tractor that I cut grass with the unit is garbage. So I've become a little leery of them.

NO!

I'm with Sam! I wouldn't use a LT for pushing snow and hauling to much or pulling. The tranny's were the weak point in them and you will be replacing it again.

I'm with Sam and Mike. I've had my share of LAWN TRACTORS and they are fine for mowing lawns, that's it. Regardless as to what was available for attachments on them.
For pushing snow, I would leave that to the GT tractors.

Just an FYI on my Transaxle post. The tranny that was in the mower and the pictures shown was not stock. I bought a used tranny that matched the vin number/style for $150 and as Im fitting it in I am seeing where they cut the shifting mechanisms to fit the other tranny... Been a basket case but hopefully done soon. I'd give you the old one pictured in this post but it may not help.
