Uncle Dick has been a fun Cub to run. Unfortunatly the rear axle seal started to leak. The first thing I did was clean the catch pan so I could reuse the oil. I had the rear cover pulled and rear axle pulled before I thought of taking pictures.

I desided to change both seals.

Old seals were easy to pull with this tool:

Pulling seal:

Purchase one seal and rear cover gasket off Chris Westfall.

The other seal was from NAPA.

Tool I used to install seal:

seal installed:

I like to put a little grease on area where the seal and bearing/bushing goes.

C clips installed:

I tip the front of the tractor up so the oil that is left in the rear end drains out.

Sump looks cleaner this time compaired to the first time I opened it up 2 years ago:

Looks like Hy-Tran did it's thing.

I desided to reuse the Hy-Tran. I used a paint filter when I fill my container.

This is what was left after the container was filled:

The trans was refilled and so far no leaks.

Merk, looks good. Did you make that seal installation tool or buy it? Are you taking that tractor to the Ohio Plow Day? Make sure you take lots of pictures for us to enjoy.

The seal install and removal tools were purchase at Sears 15-20 years ago.
I will take the 70 to Ohio Plow Day. My Wife likes to drive it around. The 70 aslo get used to pull tractors back to truck(s)-trailer(s) that quit while plowing. We usually have a gas run or 2 to make out to the field.

Just read this thread after seeing "Uncle Dick" at Red Power last week. I can appreciate the hard work put into it after seeing the finished product. Great job! Even better that you can keep it in the family.

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.
