Default Loose oil filler tube on 1650

I am new to this forum and would like some help on a 1650 that I am starting to work on. I am in the process of doing the mods for the engine mount bracket and also installing the new oem mounts. I did notice when I pulled the the engine that the oil filler tube is loose where it goes into the crankcase. What is the fix? Is it pressed in the case or installed with loctite or some other method. When I pulled the tube out I did not notice any o rings of seals.
Could use some help of the fix for the loose tube.

Thanks Ron

IIRC, I believe the oil filler tube is a pressed fit into the crankcase.

I had the same thing on an Onan and was advised to use Locktite or oil resistant sealer. Just clean it up very throughly and give it a go. Might be worth it to rough up the tube surface and lightly scratch the inside of the tube hole to give some additional bite.

There are also ways also to enlarge the tube.
Locate a piece of bar stock about the same size as the tube and slip it inside then using a small #1 or so hammer,go about hitting the tube while holding the bar in a vice, thus expanding the tube with every blow,working your way around the tube,(it takes a while)
Sometimes long sockets are handy for this.
My perfered method it to turn a piece up in the lathe, just a bit larger and maybe tapered ever so slightly so it is a slight drive fit thus expanding the tube that way.
We are only talking maybe a half to one thousand here,
but most folks do not have access to a lathe.

My 1450 has same deal. Exactly. Some oil was coming from there. I gave it a light squeeze in vice. Applied permatex gasket make 2, and lightly tapped it in. Then I tried securing it with a clamp, around the filler, a spacer, and a longer bolt through an existing bolt hole in the tins. Now, I haven't run mine at all really since because it leaks oil somewhere else a ton, so don't know how well this worked on the problem.

Thanks guys for all the responses. I believe that if I try a combination of these methods it should fix the problem. I am thinking that the excessive vibrations from the bad ISO mounts probably caused the problem, so if I take care of that issue it should help out also.

Thanks again Ronc

I'm sure the vibration was a factor. In mine too. There are no ISO mounts in mine. I think they may have messed up the oil pan buy trying to bolt solid with no spacers.

I bought this tractor, and a 1210 in January. In both cases the "repairmen"(term used loosely) have been the tractors worst enemy.

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.
