1862 hydro leak
Hi
Never done this before before but here goes. I have a 1862 model cub that was gifted to me. It had been partially torn apart and neglected for quite a while. Had (from what I can tell) the usual problems with these models - hood plastic broken, hinges cracked, hydro control plates slopped out. I got thru all that, been using it for about a year now. Runs and functions beautifully. I noticed that there is some hydro oil dripping. It appears to be leaking between the pump and the diff housing. I see from the parts view that there is a gasket there. Just wondering if this is a common occurrence and worth going after or is it something else that looks like it is leaking there. PS- I put it up on the hoist, cleaned it really well then ran it while watching for the leak. It sure appears that it is coming from between the pump and the diff housing. Seems to leak more when loaded (turn steering to lock) but not absolutely sure about that one. Just hoping one of you guys might have some input on this. Thanks - Ex Deere guy |

First, welcome to OCC....
YES, that cork gasket (921-3004) is a common maintenance problem that dates back to the mid 1960's. Replace that gasket and you will be good for another 20+ yrs.

I am glad you posted this question as my 1864 has also just started leaking in that area.
So what is involved in changing that gasket? |

That is excellent, much thanks! I had hoped it would be a bit less involved, but I do intend to tear this thing down and go through everything. I'll probably just add fluid until Fall and start that process. Here's the link within that topic http://cubfaq.com/corkgasket.html The gasket part number is MTD 921-3004. Be sure to get the new composition gasket. I noticed the ebay sellers are offering the cork gasket. |

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.
