I know some guys love to re-pack wheel bearings..............I don't.
I buy the Life Time Sealed Bearings. Put them in, and be done with it.

2 sets I got now from ebay were sealed both sides. Easy enough to pull one seal and pack. However if yuh ou do that a few times eventually the cheap rubber seal with probably crack.

I will list how you were wrong now like you love to try and do to me 1. There are most definitely sealed both sides bearings available for both 1" and 3/4". You can get them sealed BOTH SIDES in plastic or metal. 2. You contradict yourself also. You said water should not get in. According to you the seals are cheap and hardly seal. So whats keeping the water out? I have deep enough puddles here at times to sink the front spindle. Besides that I know I have some wheels here that the bearings do not fit perfectly in.. I know grease and water can pass there. Guess all your wheels are perfect just like you. 3. I know grease does not adsorb water. It does not need to. If you pack grease as tight as you can in hub it will take up most of the space which means there is less space for water. Besides that, centrifugal force will push grease from center to outer parts of wheel thus pushing grease outwards towards the bearings and helping to seal out water. I would love to see you try and find fault in anything I just said.

Not picking on anyone or taking sides,---- just thinking:
There are shielded bearings, and sealed bearings and open bearings. No need to explain, as it is self explanatory. As far as centrifugal force, I would think the wheels turn pretty slow so that would not be a factor on a lawn/garden situation. All that said, most bearings are not a tight fit on the shaft or wheel bore so water can get in if exposed to it. Be it submerging in a crossing or rain, or subject to well meaning owner of a power washer. So in my mind there is the thought for trying to seal it up tight, which usually don't work or let it in and let it run out. Personally I just pack the open bearings with grease, with my fingers, and let them be. I guarantee they will not fail on the highway pulling a boat trailer @ 70 mph |

I just buy the $10 sealed bearings. I install them as I get them, then when the go bad I replace them. Not worth the hassle of repacking. They last quite a while.
I replaced mine on the 108 5 years ago and still going strong.

Oh, and the front spindles RPM will always be zero. The spindle doesn't spin, the hub does. I can find things wrong with your listed statements....but you are not going to listen because you are a know it all and will just continue to debate. I fold. You aren't worth the headache. |

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.
