Looking to add a 2284 to the gang

Hi All,

I've been swamped lately, 2072 is still apart waiting driveshaft parts, 1210 is dead (hydro mystery I have not dug into yet). And the 1100 is still doing all the work around here. Got a line on a 2284 with (get this) 376 hours. I looked it over today, and was disappointed to find oil seeping onto the mule drive at the front of the engine. Seller claims replacing front oil seal is a cake job. I also noticed the mule drive will not seat properly on the left side. Carrier keeps springing slightly away from the frankenstien bolt (about 1/2 inch. Engine seems to run ok, just a little uneven at idle. (surges). Plenty of power, and dry hydro area. The oil leak has me worried tho. Started getting pressure from seller that it would be "gone tomorrow..." Also, the blades are almost completely worn away! I've never seen that much wear on a set of blades still in service. Those 376 hours had to be brutal ones. So my big question is, how hard is it really to do the oil seal?

Thanks,
John

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.
