CUB CADET 1315 Transmission

[mx947]

If I am thinking of the part of the axle your talking about it is not like a D, more like 2 flat sides on the circle (axle) where the wheel bolt goes into the end. I am going to spend the day tomorrow looking at details and videos to see where I stand. I may even try and shim the gear closer because the pics dont do justice that the gears arent in that bad of shape for a tractor to not move in 2nd gear. I am not going to give up! And I appreciate the help so far

Great, if the axle has the flats on it. that is the type cub cadet used. therefore it may be original.

Here is a pic of the trans in one of my 1315's for compairson

I am putting this thing back together and it has been a few months since I have worked on it. Not going back together smoothly and even if I do shim the gear lower, I don't think it is the ultimate solution. Also the brake assembly has a bolt that was stripped out and I'd need to have it coiled. I'm sad to say I might throw in the towel, but only on the transmission, not the tractor. I am just wondering where I can get a replacement one new/used that is in decent shape.

I found this John Deere Peerless that has the cover that looks exactly like the one I have, but I paid under $300 for the mower and to spend $600 on a new tranny is crazy, I might as well scrap it out and buy a brand new one.

Just to show you a little more of my project and why I really want this mower up and running. I took a Saturday and wire brushed, primed, and painted the deck. I also had some parts welded to ensure this mower will last me another 5 years (I hoped)

Yes looks good, don't give up on it the 1315 will be a strong machine if you solve the trans problems. here is a thread on a forum that may be of interest to you:

What a great story. I am only 28 and don't have a ton of mechanical skills but I am old school and would rather do a little research and get my hands dirty than to just go out and buy a whole new mower like most would. It def looks like I have a different transmission in my mower than yours. This could give me more options in finding a replacement/ parts. I am def leaning towards having someone get the tranny going for me, so I know it is done right.

HI everyone, I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for someone that can give me a direction go, weather a member, or sponsor with this transaxle problem I have.


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

First off welcome to OCC.
Second, you can get the parts from your cub dealer but your going to pay big bucks for a transaxle.
Bolting up a "heavy duty transaxle" really isn't going to be an option being your tractor is a "lawn tractor" and belt drive.
Is there a good option as for your 1315? Hopefully find a used trans or a different parts tractor. Sorry

Welcome to OCC! Your best luck is to find a used tranny if you can or a whole tractor you can use for parts.
