So have not yet got the DOA starting issue completely resolved yet , however...

While waiting for parts , I decided to look at the front electric clutch as I know

its been used A LOT ! Probably a good thing I did. After removal of the clutch

assy , I quickly noticed that the crank seal is in very crooked , like top is in the

opening about 1/4" the bottom is in about 7/16". So I've ordered a new seal

and will replace that ! So I guess lesson here is don't stop looking !

Ok,
Make sure you set the seal just deep enough that the little location nubs on the electric clutch have room to go into the bore where the seal lives.

Thanks George !

I had to go back and look at the back of the plate , yea I see the 4 little "nubs" that make up the cheapo pilot. The seal thats in there now is in quite deep , I'm going to straighten it out and put the new one right in on top of it , plenty of depth there.

Thanks Again !

If you do that you will block the oil passage to the crankshaft, pull out the old one and put in the new one as Old man George instructed you to do.

May I suggest that you pry out the old seal, and install the new seal at the proper depth,also making sure to lube the lip of the seal where it rides on the crank.
The factory seals usually come with the grease already in the lip, but not all folks purchase factory seals.
If you don't know, the seal comes out pretty easily,if you drill a small hole in the metal that holds the lip, and twist in a sheet metal screw to allow something to easily pull the seal out.
On a more difficult seal, 2 screws work well.

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.
