When one problem spawns another (somehow).
Had a dry rotted tire finally stop holding air, so pulled my rear tires off to get new ones mounted on the rims. I swear all I did was pop the lug bolts out and remove the tires! Came into the garage next day to a puddle of hy-tran leaking from behind my right side brake rotor! Why does this stuff always happen to me? Guess it's new axle seal time. While I pull the rear end apart to pull the axles out, is there anything else I should consider swapping out or replacing in there while I'm spending the money to replace the hydraulic fluid and filter? Thanks! |

Yeah that would help wouldn't it? It's a 149.
I reckon I oughta change the bearings while I'm in there too but then I gotta get a set of bearing pullers, pushing this $100 job even higher. |

I did the seals on my 149 at the same time that I relined the brakes. Seals & lining were on the same order. Obviously you only need two seals per tractor but I was doing a 1650 restore too!

There's still tons of meat left on my brake liners, don't fancy having to do those!
I ordered the bearings and will do them while I'm in there. Cheap insurance. |

Hoo boy this got a little more spicy now that I opened it up!
I removed the brakes and the first thing I noticed was the side with the leak's axle was being held in place by the brake mounting, not the C-clip in the diff. Came right out in my hand! Then I drained the hy-tran... The axle looked ok. Little bit of indication there's been a lot of heat in the bearing though. Bearing itself felt fine, but when I put my finger on it the needle bearings were loose. I scooped and squeegeed out the hytran from the diff that wouldnt drain with a gloved hand. Uncovered the missing C-clip. How does that even fall off??? It appeared undamaged. The diff plate and the nooks and crannies were covered in what appeared to be a white granular goop, much like the undissolved sugar in the bottom of a glass of sweet tea. Is that just indicative of old hytran with a little but not catastrophic amounts of water? So before I do ANYTHING else, what should I be thinking? I'm not going to hose anything out with brake clean, but I am going to try and get all the sugar out of there. |

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.
