Default Leaking oil after hydraulic oil change
So I changed the hydraulic fluid on my 1250 yesterday, everything went pretty well, but when I went to do some work on the lift rod today (need to shorten it) I noticed that the left rear axle seems to be leaking hydraulic fluid. I've attached a few pictures.

I did notice when I was changing the fluid, I don't think nearly 7 quarts came out of there, so maybe this leak is where all the previous fluid went. I took a few pictures during the fluid change of the inside of the back, so I'll upload those too.

Any ideas / suggestions would be helpful, it looks like a pretty serious leak if all that leaked out overnight.

Thanks,
Briton

Looks like you have a leaking axle seal. Cub part#721-0187 or NAPA #9878. You will need to drain the rear and pull the axle if that is where it is leaking. If it is, do both sides.

Looks like that has been worked on before because it has the disc for external brakes but I guess you have an internal brake because the calipers are missing.

Thanks for the part #s, do they go over this in the service manuals? I have them downloaded already.

EDIT: Found it in the service manual already.

Thanks guys!

I didn't look but I think it is. I think all you need to do is pull a snap ring and it will slide out. The new Cub part # is 921-0187.

Use caution sliding the axle into the housing, so as not to damage your new seal.
And it is good practice to lube the lip of the new seal and the axle in the seal area.
This makes sure it has lube till the lubricant finds it's way to the new seal.
Its not such a big deal on a slow rpm application, but it only takes a minute.

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.
