Default Hydro leaking

What might cause a hydro to leave a puddle on the floor just forward of the rear end in the winter but not in the summer? Does the summer dirt/grass get up wherever the leak is and temporary seal it? Size of leak is a 10"-12" diameter spot on the floor after 6 months of sitting (winter.) This is on my 147.

Probably the suction tube...

In the winter, the steel is colder and the joints pull apart. In the summer, they're warmer and fit tighter.

After fighting hydro leaks on my 149 for MANY years (FINALLY all sealed up), I decided on my 1650 to simply replace every single gasket and fluid connection... It's not that much money or work.

I need to do the same thing on my 1650. Happen to have the part no's, or where you bought everything from?

Any insight/ tips?

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.
