1650 Hydro Gasket
Can anyone confirm the thickness of the cork gasket that goes between the hydro and the rear end? I think it is 1/16", but wanted to be certain. I have seen where a member has used neoprene as a subsitute for the cork with good results. Has anyone tried anything else, such as the rubber\cork composite gasket material sold at auto parts stores?
Normally I would just pick up a preformed gasket, but I don't seem to be able to find one locally, and would have to have one shipped - the problem is that shipping is more than the gasket, so I figured if I make the gasket myself, I can save some $$$. Thanks

Seems like mine measured .036.
I was hesitant to use the cork I had, as it was 1/16 and I was afraid to try to compress it that far and break off a casting mounting ear. So I used some rubber diaphram material I had on hand. I figger if it leaks I will get the right cork gasket, but in a pinch I used what I had.

I have used the cork gasket material sold in sheets in auto parts stores - its less than 1/16" along with blue gasket compound and it works fine. Done it three times since I had the hitch directly attached to aluminum rear end loosened up due to stresses.
I traced the outline on the cork then cut inside the line, punched out the holes (hand held paper punch) and coated with blue sealant and installed. My 1811 has the formed real plate so it takes some trimming to get a good fit. Has held up fine, and since I put a hitch plate on the frame rails (versus hitch attached to AL rear end) I dont think it will leak again.

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.
